TENBURY Music Festival has hit a new high note and music lovers have given a boost to the economy of the town.

The town rocked solid for 12 hours as the town’s music festival hits town.

Music was played on two staged on the Burgage.

Quill were the headliners this year and there was young talent in the shape of Goodnight Lenin, who played at Glastonbury last year and ADO (Alternative Dubstep Orchestra), an up and coming, seven piece band of musicians from Birmingham.

There was also the Steve Gibbons band and Robbie Blunt band.

Established bands like the Steve Ajao Blues band, Dave Onions, Fabulous Bordellos and Obscure also performed.

Away from the main stage there was an Acoustic stage with a mix of fresh new talent.

Tenbury businessman and music lover Cliff Slade was full of praise.

“The overall experience of this year’s show well- exceeded my expectations and eclipsed last year’s show in a different way,” said Cliff Slade.

This was saying something as in 2015 there was a surprise appearance by rock legend Robert Plant who even went on stage to perform a couple of songs.

“The main stage and an acoustic stage blending smoothly between each other, the music style, tempo and artistry complimented the carefully selected local and professional bands on show.

"It was well-supported, impeccably organised and the varied food and drink on offer was all sensibly priced and very much enjoyed by a broad ranging young and old audience.

“My entry fee was not only towards a worthy charitable cause but also where else could you go and be entertained for twelve hours at that cost?

“As the afternoon musically drifted into the evening the pace, beat and rhythm increased which climaxed with local band formerly known as the ‘Bordellos’ who have now added an additional word to their title ‘The Fabulous Bordellos’ and they were exactly that!

“Well done to event organiser Graham James and his team; it was a great, successful event attracting a lot of people into Tenbury and I, for one, am very much looking forward to next year!”

Away from the music there was a small village where people could relax and buy food and drink as well as attend workshops.

Visitors travelling a distance had the chance to camp or take a caravan pitch on Palmers Meadow.

It is hoped that the music festival will become an annual event turning Tenbury into a mini Glastonbury.
