Cuckfield Music Festival 2025 begins 15th June
By David Spear, Chairman Cuckfield Music Festival
We are proud to present a wide range of music for all tastes and ages.
On 15th June, we begin with a workshop at Hurstpierpoint College for junior school children run by our Youth Ambassador, Becky Milford, and a Writing Rock Music tuition from Ian Archer, formerly of Snow Patrol.
There then follows some wonderful ‘free’ lunchtime concerts in Holy Trinity Church Cuckfield, featuring four hands on one piano, a bass clarinet, fusion guitar, piano and voice. Our evening concerts feature the community choir Singing Allsorts, Fred Woods Big Band, Ian Archer & Friends, and an Amy Winehouse tribute band.
Our evening Baroque Highlight on Thursday 19th June, features our very own Charles Humphries and friends with ‘Kontrabande’, performing ‘Villains & Heroes’.
Let the music begin! Please visit our website for further details about all of our concerts and venues www.cuckfieldmusicfest.co.uk
