There was wonderful music throughout the village last night. Today, you can get straight into the swing of Festival Sunday from 10.00am with the Textile Art Exhibition & Didgeridoo Competition at Audlem Mill Canal & Needlework Shop on the Wharf.
By 11.00am it could well be time for a coffee with Acoustic elevenses at the Coffee Lounge – Simon Kempston entertains and top acoustic artists pop in.
Another musical highlight is at 2.00pm with Jazz Dawgs at the Bridge Inn. Adrian Ingram is one of the world's most respected jazz guitar players. He is joined this weekend by his Jazz Dawgs, Ian Wroe and Pete Wraith. They play melodic swing, the sort of Jazz that won't spook the horses.
Blues Alley at 2.30pm and one of Audlem's favourite musicians, Jim Kirkpatrick is centre stage, or rather road!
3.00pm brings on The Dunwell Brothers Band at the Lord Combermere. These guys were at Triumph Live in 2010 where they supported Mumford & Sons. Anyone that's seen them has just been 'Oh My God!' They're mind boggling! The quality of the songs, the quality of the playing, the quality of the vocals, the harmonies.
3.30pm and it's USB's at the Bridge Inn with their unique brand of surf rock and likely to be a big favourite.
4.00pm has Simon Kempston at the Lord Combermere Iinside stage – an Edinburgh based singer-songwriter performing original, traditional and contemporary folk-blues-celtic influenced songs and material. It's his first Audlem Festival.
At 4.30pm it's another big favourite, the reads at the Lord Combermere. They've just finished recording their debut album 'Stories from the Border' with top producer Jim Spencer. the reads are looking forward to sharing their sounds once again with some familiar faces on their annual pilgrimage to Audlem!
Also at 5.00pm, Akiva, a four piece from Bedfordshire playing electro indie originals interspersed with a few covers of indie dancefloor fillers, are on at the Bridge Inn.
At 5.30, Simon Kempston returns to the Lord Combermere (inside) for the second half of his set to be followed at 6.00pm by local favourites Blue Cafe. Alg Halliwell and Val Warner are back with a new Blue Cafe line up including Mike Waldron on bass, Sevi G on percussion and Ian Haughey on guitar, with some of Blue Cafe's classic tracks and a few new ones from the band.
And after all that, there's a full evening of music in the pubs and St James' Church to look forward to!
