A freewheeling instrumental four piece; Starlings weave soulful melody and dynamic improvisation around their powerhouse Funk, Latin and dance grooves
As part of our ongoing commitment to accessibility and community, the festival is proud to offer free public access to live music throughout the weekend, from Friday 22 to Monday 25 May.
Set adjacent to the Blackmore Gardens Main Stage, the Love Local Stage is a vibrant hub of creativity and community spirit.
The Love Local Stage is only possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters, patrons and community.
During the festival, we invite everyone enjoying the performances to consider making a donation — however big or small. Every contribution directly supports the continuation of free, accessible live music in Sidmouth.
To deliver this programme, the festival must raise approximately £25,000 to cover artist fees and production costs. Our friendly festival volunteers will be on hand throughout the weekend to accept donations by cash or card.
