Welcome to the 18th Wymondham Music Festival

Wymondham International Busking Day

Come and busk in the medieval Norfolk town of Wymondham on Saturday 25 May in glorious sunshine, surrounded by a symphony of real ale pubs. The event is hosted by Johnny Steinberg and the jazz legend Ian Hireson. Please ring 01953 333500 or email Johnny Steinberg  for further information. Musicians should check in first at the marquee in the Market Place on the day, from 10:00.

The nearest airport is Norwich International Airport.  Taxis are available from there.

Update 22 May - a note from Johnny Steinberg:

“Sunshine ordered for Saturday. Beer in place at the Green Dragon / Feathers / Cross Keys / Queens Head / Heart. God is in his heaven and all the angels have guitars.

PS Anybody playing the following songs will disappear in a vat of boiling oil:

And anybody playing songs by the following artists will be elevated to special status and given a prime pitch:

So, we’re in for a great day’s entertainment.  Come and enjoy the fun!
