Musical? Then get behind the town's festival

Last year the event didn’t get off the ground, and now organisers want to breathe new life into something that has become an institution in Bexhill.

The festival does not just pay homage to one particular genre of music - all tastes are catered for, from classical to inpromptu busking.

So if you’re involved in any kind of musical activity locally, be it a choir, band or as an individual performer, then Bexhill Festival of Music is an ideal place to showcase your talent.

In the wake of all the doom and gloom nationally, it would really be a tonic to see in the summer a colourful pagaent of music for all tastes - and a good helping of community spirit.
