The application form to play as a part of this year's Bandstand programme is now available!

Please have a look at the updated information and fill this in if you would like to perform.

The programme is produced to showcase a range of different music and other creativity - completing the form doesn't guarantee a slot.

Please remember that access to mains electricity isn't possible at the Bandstand, but a small amp and chairs are available nearby. The Bandstand is a gorgeous venue in The Groves, and has been well suited in recent years to live music but also works well for small scale theatre, poetry, dance and visual art.

Thanks in advance and look out for May and June listings in the coming few days, too!
