Live music featuring these fabulous local artists
11:00 Ellie Galvin
Ellie is a fabulous, warm, stylish singer-songwriter from Lichfield. When she's not performing an acoustic set of originals and famously downbeat covers of famously upbeat songs, Ellie also writes original music for theatre productions.
12:30 Cloudy Galvez
Imagine if KT Tunstall, Tom Misch and Kacey Musgraves collaborated, and you’d come up with something like Cloudy’s music. Country pop, infused with Neo Soul and Latin rhythms inspired by her Colombian heritage.
14:00 Jessie Desai
Jessie brings a blend of folk and pop to her original songs, featuring foot-tapping melodies, rhythmical guitar playing and sweet vocals. She’ll be playing a delightfully summery mix of original songs and creative covers spanning decades.
15:30 The Lichfield Ukelele Massive
An eclectic group of entertainers who play classic, much loved songs quite fast. As far as they are concerned, there’s literally no song that can’t be cheered up by a bunch of middle aged geezers playing and singing loudly and joyfully. You might want to sing along with this one!
Food and Drink
