Feast of great music for Brecon Fringe
Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue . . . there’s a wonderfully varied line-up at The George Hotel during the Brecon Jazz Festival.
The hotel is staging a significant ‘Fringe’ programme during the three-day festival which starts on August 12.
The programme is being presented by the owners of The George Hotel, the award-winning Evan-Evans brewery of Llandeilo.
Headlining on Saturday, August 13, will be the legendary Mike Harries Root Doctors.
The veteran Welsh musician is 78 years young and is living proof that music is always the best medicine.
Saturday also sees the spotlight fall on Li Harding (above), whose powerful, gospel-tinged vocal style wins over crowds wherever she performs. She will perform with The Gary (Amigos) Phillips Trio.
Last up on Saturday will be one of the Rhondda Valley’s favourite sons, Morty (Gareth Mortimer of Racing Cars fame), who will take the stage with The Frantics.
The weekend programme has been assembled by music promoter David Brockwell.
“The 2011 Fringe programme includes something for all music lovers over the course of the weekend,” Mr Brockwell said.
“The George has a wonderful line-up this year with a strong emphasis on Welsh favourites and rising stars with Steely Scam (UK Steely Dan tribute band), Gypsy Jazz guitar sensation Remi Harris and 10-piece party showstoppers She Tasted Good among the 17 weekend acts, with further events continuing on Monday and Tuesday.
“It’s also a fabulous venue in its own right, slap bang in the middle of the town, with indoor and outdoor stages, so it will be at the centre of the action
“The best bit of it all is that The George and many fringe events are free, running alongside a terrific Brecon Jazz Festival programme. If you love music, then come to beautiful Brecon!”
