The Newstead Live Music Festival
THE last weekend of January has always been a time to look forward to with the running of the Newstead Live Music Festival. It is a four-day event of folk, roots, Americana and Celtic live music performances, as well as workshops, open mic sessions, spoken word performances and has been a popular fixture in Newstead since 2007.
The 2020 festival took place as usual and, unlike many other music events, was fortunate to have gotten in before the COVID crisis took hold. Unfortunately on August 1, in a climate of uncertainty, it was decided to cancel next year's event.
