ALL is set for two nights of fantastic music to suit all tastes at the 2016 Iron Acton Music in the Meadows.

Performing on a professional “Glastonbury” type stage with state of the art sound system, the musicians will deliver a top quality musical experience for the audience.

On Friday, July 1, the fourth Mash in the Meadows has four outstanding local bands. Several have played at Glastonbury and toured throughout Europe and one has even played at Buckingham Palace.

Elles Bailey and her band open the Mash. Elles has been dubbed the Blues Princess and her unique “gravelly” voice delivers a range of blues and soul numbers.

Flash Harry are back by popular demand to play their energetic portfolio of Cajun and Balkan blues, folk and rock.

Mad Apple Circus (three of their members grew up in Iron Acton) will play their original blend of horn-fuelled styles, built on Ska/Hip-Hop/Jazz and Latin grooves – nothing but the good stuff.

Gee Baby I Love You offer genuine soul, raw funk and blues with professional, exhilarating showmanship. Exciting to watch and bound to get everyone dancing, they headline the evening.

The Proms in the Meadows is on Saturday, July 2. Now into its 12th year, don your posh frocks, bring your tapas and click your heels along to the wonderful music from the Bristol Millennium Orchestra and other local performers. This year the theme is Spanish but the evening will end with the classic “Last Night at the Proms” so remember your Union Jacks.

The event features The Bristol Millennium Orchestra and soloists from the Royal College of Music, Junior Fascinating Rhythm, The Iron Acton Community Choir, The Kathryn Hurley Dance Academy, Fabulous Flamenco and prizes for Best Spanish Hat!!

Spokesman, Richard Hunter said “People who have attended previous concerts have been so impressed at how a small village can put on such a professional event. The secret is quality of the performers and the enthusiasm and the skills of the Acton Aid members who volunteer their services to make the event such a success. Many people get together a group of their friends to hold a party within a party. If you have not already bought tickets and you want to attend, I urge people to buy now while they are still available.”
