Looe's Making Waves Music Festival





With September just around the corner Looe is preparing for one of its biggest events this year, a musical extravaganza, and it promises to be an exciting experience and something to remember for anyone who will be in Looe at the time.

The festival is set for 23rd , 24th and 25th September and there will be 3 soundstages;
on West Looe Quay will be a marquee with a Cornish traditional feel, The Rose Garden Marquee, East Looe with an easy listening ambiance, and the beach and seafront with an al fresco rock, pop, punk vibe.

During the day music will be concentrated on the 3 soundstages then local pubs, restaurants and cafes will take over in the evening to maximise the benefits to the local economy.

Headlining will be from the Jam, The Blockheads and Ade Edmondson (of Young Ones, Bottom and Dance for Comic Relief fame) and the Bad Shepherds, plus 40 other local bands, dancers and performers.

Also on these 3 days there will also be a host of workshops, street entertainment and dance performances and the weekend starts with a procession from East Looe to West Looe where everyone is invited to ‘make some noise’ to welcome a giant pasty being paraded around the streets. This is going to be a big pasty!

I am sure all the children and adults are going to want to join in with making some noise on that day and we have a range of musical instruments to help from a lovely metal drum complete with a carrying strap, to tambourines and whistles.

So if you are intending to be here for any of these days I hope you enjoy the music as it is sure to be truly brilliant and Looe will be filled with fun so do join in.
