SOUNDS in The SQUARE

'Sounds in The Square' brings live music in the town's Market Square on seven Saturdays throughout July and August. Supported by businesses and the town council, it has proved hugely popular since members of what is now H2A launched it in 2006. Below is the programme for the 2011 Sounds Season, starting on 9th July:

SATURDAY 9th JULY
Di and The Guy
Sounds in The Square is organised by volunteers from Wellington H2A. In the first of this year’s performances, come and hear local singer Diane Drummond and Jon ‘the guy’ on acoustic guitar. Diane has a blues sound in her groove, rock in her rhythm, a blend of gospel, jazz elegance in her delivery and a charisma that can ignite any audience.
Market Square, 11am - 1pm, admission free
