Striking A Chord. Get ready for the North Devon Music Network.

A few months ago Dion Sears, Development Manager St Annes Arts and Community Centre and Lucy Betts (Frithelstock Fest), sent out a questionaire regarding live music in North Devon. They set a target for responses and by the number of questionaires that came back they knew there was great interest.

They then looked at the feedback and came up with a networking evening where there would be direct access to good quality up and coming musicians that venues and promoters could book on the night if they fit with their program of events.

This is a great opportunity to meet other promoters, venues and supporters - a way to meet and help each other. 

It will also be a social evening with some great music. Josh Stevenson will be taking shots of the musians performing for free. They know people's time is short so they've kept the program to one and a half hours, but this is flexible and there will be a bar. 

It would be great if people could come and support this night, they hope people will enjoy it and gain from coming along.

Frithelstock Fest primed to showcase the best of North Devon talent

So in March this year Ian Robertson, landlord of The Clinton Arms , was talking to Mark Venus, of the band Vapor,  about wanting to raise some money for The Childrens Hospice South West and this was when the idea of Frithelstock Fest began. Since then a great deal of pleading has occurred with some worthwhile results. The Bideford Youth Pipe Band will start the family friendly event off on Saturday August 22nd at 1 pm, followed by the Exmoor Border Morris providing some appropriate Village Green entertainment with an appearance from Herne Falconry too. From 2.45 10 bands and solo acts will be playing on the music stage .
The brilliant line-up includes 
Small Town Jones
The Lyers
Two Dog Knight
Rat Pack Pete
Yazzy
Sophie Sutton
Canyon Ryde
Westerly 5 or 6
Cross Eyed Bear 
and Vapor.

Entrance will be free but donations will be asked for The Childrens Hospice South West. Catering will be provided by the local Devon Food Co. There will be stalls and face painting too. This is a day not to be missed as it will show case some of the best talent North Devon has to offer whilst raising funds for a very deserving cause
