Mitcheldean Festival

As of 10th March 2017 Applications are now closed.

Mitcheldean Folk Festival Concerts are entry-free and will showcase local and visiting acts and provide opportunities to perform and promote music (all types), songs, and dances. As part of the 2017 festival there will be two showcase musical concerts:

• Concert 1: Saturday 3rd June from 7:00pm to 11:00pm at The Brewery Tap
• Concert 2: Saturday 15th July from 1:00pm to 9:00pm at Mitcheldean Church

Note that while we are unable to pay performers we hope to record all performances where possible and will make the recording of your performance available to you after the event.

A P.A. system will be provided and acts will be allocated slots of 30 minutes each. To ensure we run to time please factor in set up time and plan your set accordingly. (Note: That applicants cannot be guaranteed a specific slot in the programme but we will try to accommodate your requirements as far as possible.)
