Water and Music Festivals in 2010

I think anyone living near Waterlooville knows about the 2010 Waterlooville Music Festival, because of all the banners around town, so won't need reminding. However those that live some distance away might not know, so if you don't know, you will once you have read this.

The festival is from 12th June to 20th June.
More details on the Music Festival web site.

Also next month there is the Hampshire Water Festival over at Staunton Park. It's a 'green fair' that is very light green and the councillors don't like calling it 'environmental' because apparently it will frighten Mr and Mrs Carbon away!

But anyway Friends of the Earth will be there, as will other less 'active' organisations, such as Portsmouth Water, who will be flooding the area soon to make a reservoir.

The Water Festival is on 24th and 25th July.

Waterlooville Music Festival 2009

This is one of the better things that is happening around Waterlooville these days. Organised by the good folk at St Georges church, the Waterlooville Music Festival is becoming a significant event of the yearly calender. This year it is in its 4th season and some bands, musicians etc. are now seeing it as an event that they must perform at.

The great thing about the festival is some of the events are free, including music on the streets. I remember last year on one of the festival days, there were brass bands where ever you went in Waterlooville.

I can recommend The Band of the Hampshire Constabulary this year, they produce some good 'sounds'. It's not all brass bands though! Last year I sat in on a free lunch time performance by an East European pianist.

Dates: 13th to 21st june.
