2 WELCOME Welcome to the second M-Fest! After the success of last year we are delighted to once again be bringing live music back to Midsomer Norton as part of the town s traditional July celebrations! Once again we have two outdoor stages - the Main Stage in the lower Higher Street and the Acoustic Stage in the Hollies Garden - and both are packed with a range of fantastic local talent covering the best of rock, pop, reggae, ska, country, folk and more! We were overwhelmed with the support for this event last year with revellers celebrating the town s musical talent in glorious sunshine. Everyone involved hopes that the weather will be just as generous with us this year! We are also delighted that many of our local pubs in the High Street have programmed complementary activities and live music in the evening after the outdoor stages have finished. Last year s event would not have been possible without The Wunderbar, which sadly left the town shortly after, but we hope that through this event its spirit will continue! Thank you to our supporters and sponsors, whose logos you will see around the event throughout the afternoon, especially to Midsomer Norton Town Council whose core grant funding makes M-Fest possible. We hope you have a great day. All details in this programme were correct in May when we went to print - however things may change! Please check or MFestMSN or ask one of our marshals on the day for updated timings and listings as well as news on some of our sponsors.
