Performer Expression of Interest: Front Garden Music Festival 2023

Seeking performers for our Front Garden Music Festival on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June 2024

Seed is thrilled to announce the return of Sedgemoor's Front Garden Music Festival for its fourth year, due to overwhelming demand from the community!

Taking place on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th June, we have exciting locations lined up, promising a unique and unforgettable experience for all.

The festival aims to showcase a diverse range of talent, catering to all musical tastes. We are proud to feature a combination of amateur, semi-professional, and professional performers who will grace the stage with their exceptional skills. This eclectic mix ensures a dynamic and engaging program that will captivate audiences of all ages.

The Front Garden Music Festival has become a beloved tradition in our community and we would like to encourage amateur performers who live in Sedgemoor to take to their front gardens in the morning on Sunday 9th June to perform a short set for their neighbours and passersby. Please let us know about your act and where you could perform on the day. The location MUST be in Sedgemoor and you MUST be able to get the property owner/and or residents permission to perform - so ideally it should be where you or another member of your act live.

We are also seeking Street performers and buskers who can perform in public areas across the district along with semi-professional and professional bands, choirs, ensembles of all styles to perform in pub and public gardens in the afternoon and evening over the weekend.

This is a paid opportunity for all participating musicians, Seed commits to paying all of our employees and contractors including artist fair pay for their work.
