originalmusicperformedlive;theycareaboutbringingthatmusicto the public,to educatethemaboutstyles& genres

This festival has been running since 2006 in Tunbridge Wells; it is a free-to-attend, not for profit, community event.
```

```
It started modestly as a very small event with a handful of acts on the bandstand in The Pantiles.

was the third year of involvement in this event and will continue in 2025.
