They are a true up and coming band who are touring extensively and have a real musicality, so they will complement our young musicians perfectly.”

All the proceeds will go back into the B Sharp Big Mix pot ensuring this event can run again in the future”.
B Sharp has a well-earned reputation for running all year round, local, enterprising, music opportunities and events, with young people for young people. Their work is both exciting and important in a rural seaside community and organisers anticipate supporters will come from far and wide across Dorset and Devon and the South West”
