Cuckfield MusicFest

12-20 June 2021

Our second festival takes place from 17th – 20th June 2021. In view of anti-covid restrictions this year’s Festival will be smaller and shorter than originally intended, and will now comprise six events over the four days. The performers will be either soloists or trios, and audience seating will be in accordance with the regulations required at the time. We remain indebted to Katie Derham who has kindly agreed to continue as our Patron.

Promotional Event 26th March 2021 at 19:30

In the unique climate of restrictions we’ve all suffered this past year sponsorship has been in short supply. So on 26th March there will be an online fund-raising opportunity to help guarantee the return of the Music Festival in June.

Pavlos Carvalho and Rebetiki Serenata with Andrea Antoniou will give us an evening of beautiful soul searching melodies – the foot-tapping, finger-clicking rhythms and nostalgia of Greek Rebetiko. This unmissable performance will be free of charge, but with the opportunity to donate to the cost of staging the Festival in June.
You can book tickets from 8th March either direct from www.ticketsource.co.uk/cuckfieldmusicfest or through our website – www.cuckfieldmusicfest.co.uk – where a link to Ticket Source will be provided.
Just to repeat: tickets are free but there will be an invitation to donate. Whether or not you take up the invitation, a day or two before the event Ticket Source will email you details of how to join.

Cuckfield Music Festival 17th – 20th June 2021

All the plans for a full-scale Music Festival were torpedoed by covid 19 and its offspring. Instead there will be six events over four days mainly involving performers who are, or have been, Cuckfield residents. They will appear as soloists, duos or trios, and we anticipate that some form of social-distancing audiences will still be in force.

Thursday 17th June – Lunchtime recital: The Joe Giddy Trio

17th June – Evening: Open Mic session

Friday 18th June – Lunchtime recital: Paul Gregory, probably with Howard Blake present

18th June – Evening: Jazz and Blues: Julia Roberts & Michael Hinton

Saturday 19th June – Dominic Ferris, by popular demand. (As social-distancing will limit the number of tickets available, Dominic has offered to give two different performances on the same day.)

Sunday 20th June – An Afternoon at the Opera with Jane Haughton, Amanda Buckland and Rebecca Milford
