Worcester Music Forum

There were so many bands we could of included. AWWBLOT, Warmoth, Weak 13, Fusion, Bruno Gallone, Lou Richardson, Anna Rice, The Arquettes .... the list could go on, but we had to choose just 10. so here they are

 

(1)Blue Radio Were Not just Sauce
This song was written by Blue Radio as a tribute to The Worcester Music Scene. A terrific group of musicians and wonderful songwriters all passionate about the supporting local music.

(2) Will Dance For Chocolate I Dont Wanna
These guys were the first band on the Friday night, and provided a fantastic start to the first ever Worcester Music Festival.

(3)Flo Rowland Warning
Flo may of played more gigs at the Worcester Music Festival than any other performer. From the Friday Session stage at the Marrs Bar, to the acoustic sessions at The Swan With Two Nicks to her own open air acoustic show at the Firefly. Flo deserves to be a huge success.

(4)Da Vinci Sarah
A couple of weeks before the festival, The Five Ways Hotel changed ownership without anyone telling us so we had to move four bands to the Eagle Vaults. But when that pub suddenly closed down a day before the festival we had to quickly relocate Fusion, Zanders Of Severn, Danse Macabre and Da Vinci back to The Five Ways Hotel. Everyone involved with that gig did a great job and all four bands played a blinding set, not least the headliners Da Vinci, who were also joined by Claire Boswell for a guest performance.

(5)Neil Iverson & The Misers Lord, Shuffle My Feet
A truely great band who played an amazing set at Keystones on the Sunday. This track also kicks off the Now Thats What I Call Sauce Worcester Music Festival compilation CD.

(6)The Brazilians A Girl Like You
The Brazilians played two gigs in as many hours on the opening night of the festival, both live on air as part of the Friday Session and later on at The Firefly on the iDLE Hands gig.Great local band who play dont seem to play enough live gigs.

(7)The Abbot Of Unreason Ring Out The Changes
As well as donating this track to the Now Thats What I Call Sauce! Worcester Music Festival Compilation CD Gary Tolley was a key member of the Worcester festival team, organizing gigs, running Pas, raising money for charity and also playing a couple of sets as the Abbot.

(8)Ten Fifty I Know When Youre Lying
Ten Fifty played a storming set at the Pheasant on the Saturday night of the Festival last August.     

(9) Angelcynn Rochdale Coconut Dance
Angelcynn played on the Saturday and Sunday of the Festival at the TudorHouseMuseum and each day played to a full house, proving that folk music is alive and well in Worcester!     

(10) Jamie Knight & The Acoustic Tree Stay Right
Jamie is one of Worcestershires most accomplished singer/songwriters and he performed on the BBC Hereford and Worcester Friday Session on the Opening Night of the Festival.
