This week saw an exciting programme of singer-songwriters curated by Ashford College Music, take to the band stand on Thursday for our musical pleasure.
The successful collection of performances from artists including Jimmy Phillips and Nina Clark, were well received by Ashford shoppers and music lovers alike. Complimenting the beautiful sunshine, the sounds of Summer Strum ran up and down the High Street for all to enjoy.
The event truly set a bench mark for the standard of quality musical performances Ashford is yet to see this summer and was just the beginning of the treats in store. So you don’t miss another beat, here’s what other musical events are coming up throughout the months of June & July.
The Mozart Question with Michael Morpurgo - Sunday 28th June
Michael Morpurgo OBE, author of the classic war story War Horse, is joined by actress Alison Reid, violinist Daniel Pioro and The Story Teller’s Ensemble to bring to life The Mozart Question.
