A PLETHORA of iconic acts have drawn in thousands of visitors to Ludlow over the past few weeks, with the well-attended gigs set to continue for years to come.
It has been revealed that the Live at Ludlow concerts are set to continue until at least 2033 after a long-term agreement was signed between Ludlow Castle and the event organisers, Futuresound.
This year, the castle has welcomed the likes of Richard Ashcroft, Rick Astley, The Streets, Snow Patrol, Paul Weller, Human League, and Tom Grennan.
Sam Granger said the performance from the pop-rock band, the Scissor Sisters, was one of the best concerts she had been to.
"This year has been fantastic," she added.
"Thank you to everybody involved in bringing such amazing music to Ludlow. The town has been buzzing these last two weeks."
Deb Du Bois, who went to see Richard Ashcroft perform, described him as the "ultimate showman".
"Also, a huge congratulations to Ludlow Castle for staging such a great event," she added.
"Staff, security the whole thing, top-notch. Can't wait for next year's lineup."
The series of events has proved popular with not only concertgoers but also business owners in the town, with two pub bosses reporting a huge boost in trade.
Darren Dixon, the landlord at the Ye Olde Bull Ring Tavern, told the Ludlow Advertiser that he had seen his takings double one week.
Tim and Jane Vaughan, the couple behind The Queens, reported that they had their busiest day at the pub ever in their 26-year tenure on the second week of the concerts.
