A great local music event.

Long term readers will remember the annual music and fun festival that’s taken place on the smallholding just off the A5 at Newtown, Brownhills – formerly called Cockfest (because it took place on a chicken farm), last year becoming A5 Live.

This year the music, entertainment and fun returns, and takes place from Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th August 2018, and tickets are now on sale.

The chosen charity this time around the A5 Live will be supporting is CALM – The Campaign Against Living Miserably, a great charity that works to prevent male suicide – you can find out more about them here.

To that end, the organisers are looking for prize donations for competitions being staged at the festival, and in return your business will be promoted as a sponsor.

If you can help with this, please don’t hesitate to mail Martin and co  at A5-Live@outlook.co.uk – every year this event raises a large amount for charity and this year’s support for CALM is welcome.

When I have details of bands playing and other attractions, I’ll post them here.

Preparations for the local music and fun spectacular are well underway

You can get tickets from the A5 Live website here or by emailing A5-Live@outlook.co.uk. You can check out the festival Facebook page here, too.

I wish everyone the best for this and it’s always good to see local music events.

Can’t grumble at those prices!
