Gigs & Events
Since we took over the shop, we have hosted around 30 live gigs and events both in store and in local pubs and at the local charity festival Abbfest.
Our in-store gigs have been popular, helping raise the roof on a Saturday afternoon, attended by shoppers and tourists alike.
Abbfest
Abbfest is an annual festival that raises money for local charities and incorporates 3 days of live music, crafts, cooking demonstrations and a dog show amongst other activities. We have organised a Battle of the Bands contest for aspiring musical talent from our local area. Sunday morning, at 11am the contest begins with one of 6 bands – who each play for up to 20 minutes each. A panel of well-established music judges provide feedback and advice to all contenders and decide on the winning group. In 2024 the judges included Steve Muscott from Muso, Sarah Pearson and Graham Jones from Proper. The winning band was The Vive, who get to play on the main stage at next year’s event.
