Welshpool Music Festival

Musical fever comes to Welshpool

Colour Sunday

A band confirmed to play at the festival is headline act Colour Sunday Tunes for all tastes will be filling Welshpool over the Spring Bank Holiday as the Celebration of Music Festival returns to the town.

It was set up by Welshpool Town Council in 2009 and organisers are hoping to build on that event's success.

Three days of audio and visual entertainment will be staged between Friday, 28 and Monday, 31 May 2010.

The festival will kick off on Friday night in the town hall with an Abba and Grease tribute evening.

Greased Up

Abba Tribute band, Planet Abba, will be performing with their stage show.

The band has gained a huge following in the UK and, increasingly, internationally, with a string of sell-out shows.

Greased Up is a colourful celebration of the hit stage show Grease, featuring high-energy dance routines and slick costume changes, with audience participation being very much encouraged.

From 11.30 am on both the Saturday and Monday, two stages at the town hall assembly room and the Corn Exchange will play host to a wide range of musicians and bands including many from the local area.

Celtic

Bands already confirmed to play at the festival include headline act Colour Sunday,The Daughters, The Glassguns, Lipshock and Organised Chaos.

Solo performers already signed up include Celtic singer Beck Sian, Luke Day, Rob Dunsford, Jack Taylor, Craig Bradbury and Keith Fabrique.

Other venues throughout the town will also be adding to the musical flavour, particularly Moltos Nightclub in Berriew Street which from 7pm on Sunday 30 May will be staging an evening of wide-ranging entertainment.

More performers are expected to confirm their attendance as the festival draws closer.
