During Lockdown it was an idea to have a music festival throughout Appledore, including as many venues (pubs, restaurants, cafes) as possible. The first festival, held in 2024, was a great success, and we are running this again in 2025.
Many venues are putting on extra bands throughout the 10 days, and the Appledore Music Festival organisers will be putting on specific acts, featuring local musicians.
The purpose of this Crowdfunder Is to pay musicians' costs for many events as well as marketing materials.
All the organisers are volunteers and nearly all the events in the Festival will be free to listen to.
In addition to the musical acts, there will be workshops. These already include singing, drumming and guitar technique.
The response from locals in Appledore, and the businesses that will be hosting events has been tremendous. We are all looking forward to the first of what we hope will be a yearly event.
