There
are many
Music
Festivals,
or
Eisteddfods,
taking
place in
the
area,
but none
in
Nailsea
or
surrounds.
In 2005
a group
of four
Nailsea
residents
decided
to start
such an
event,
to see
if there
was
sufficient
support
for this
to be
run on
an
annual
basis.
The
first
Festival
was held
on 16
November
2006 in
Nailsea,
mainly
at the
Methodist
Church,
but with
some
classes
also
held in
Christ
Church.
Since
then, we
have
moved to
Nailsea
School,
and
there
has been
a steady
increase
in
entries.
We have
been
able to
offer
classes
in
singing,
piano,
speech
and
drama
creative
writing
and
music
composition.
Despite
having
to
cancel
the 2020
Festival
and
running
a
virtual
event in
2021, we
were
back to
our
usual
format
in 2022
and look
forward
to
carrying
this
forward
into the
future. |
