The feedback from the 2025 festival has been phenomenal. All the venues had more (and happier) people than usual. Special thanks to the Seagate Hotel for putting on Song Box buskers as this was something different and created a great atmosphere for the festival.

The festival organisers (Russ, Louise, Adrian, Toby and Nick) would like to thank all the venues for putting on events and, especially, everyone who attended the events and helped make the festival truly special. Thank you!

And thanks too to all the musicians who played and sang their hearts out.
