Eight venues for Music Festival

Organisers of the annual Welshpool Music Festival promised us something special this year, and with just over a fortnight to go they have delivered.

Eight venues have signed up to host 44 bands playing over 40 hours of music with the event being dedicated to the memory of Ian Scott, who became a firm friend of the festival having played with his band The Infamous. Sadly he died last year. 

On May 28, The Green Dragon, Pheasant, Angel, Talbot, Fabrizio’s, Bay Tree, Wellington and Pinewood will all be hosting a day of music with the full schedule of acts available on the official web site http://www.welshpoolmusicfest.com.

“As usual you'll find an incredible range of talent performing at several fantastic venues across our humble town throughout the day,” said the organisers in a statement.

“Please do try and catch some of the acts performing - it's all free!”

Charity donations are being taken throughout the day at venues, but the onus is very much to come out and support the local bands performing and businesses.
