The 17th annual Wymondham Music Festival, centred on Festival Fortnight, June 23 to July 8, but with events from the beginning of May, celebrates professional Norfolk and national musicians and showcases local talent in this historic Norfolk market town.
The Festival’s programme promotes more than 90 events, many of them free, featuring Americana, classical, folk, world, jazz, swing, disco, funk, soul and early music in a range of venues across the town. There’s O Duo’s percussion extravaganza, the award-winning Demon Barber Roadshow’s high-energy mix of music and dance, jazz pianist Craig Milverton and the Cuban style of Cuarteto Guarachando.
The Festival brochure will be launched in the Market Place on Saturday, May 5 at 10am with an open-air concert from Wymondham Area Schools’ Brass Band. Tickets also go on sale on May 7 at the Book Fountain Wymondham or email office@wymfestival.org.uk. Full Festival programme details are at www.wymfestival.org.uk, tel. 01953 601939.
