We're excited to announce a fantastic new addition to this year's Sidlesham Fete: live music featuring a mixture of young talented local singers and musicians!
Music has always been a big part of the fete and we are delighted that the Chichester City Band will be back again this year to join us playing from 2-4pm. Following this we have a great lineup of performances from local young musicians/singers from folk and acoustic sets our local artists are ready to showcase their skills and entertain you. Bring your family and friends, and join us in celebrating the rich musical talent within our community.
Our new live music section came about as we wanted to provide an opportunity for visitors to stay a bit longer and enjoy a relaxed evening with family and friends but also we wanted to provide young local singers and musicians a stage where they had an opportunity to showcase their talents. We hope that you and your family & friends will enjoy the live music on the day.
Line-Up Our line-up for the event will include the following a mix of singer/songwriters and two young bands. There will be a mix of their own work and covers of songs that we know you will enjoy.
'No Idea' Are a young band made up of 15-17 year olds formed through Ovation Music. They will sing and play a number of songs including some of their own and some you will know.
Alyxx Alyxx is a local singer/songwriter from Selsey. ALyxx has been singing and songwriting for the past few years and is looking forward to singing some of her own songs alongwith some covers and also playing her guitar at the Fete.
Nola Morgan Nola is a local young singer/songwriter and will be singing a mixture of her own songs combined with some that we are sure you will know. Nola has been singing and songwriting for a while now and is delighted to attend the fete to share her songs with everyone.
Sadie Horler Sadie performs with warmth and authenticity, captivating her audience with her engaging but unaffected presence. Her heartfelt lyrics are inspired by events and people around her with every song telling a compelling story you do not want to miss. Sadie started her musical journey by busking at age 14, her hard work and dedication has established herself as a firm favourite on the South West music scene. She studied at the University of Brighton in 2019 and was delighted to win the first 'She Shore' competition at the award winning venue Ropetackle in West Sussex. During her relatively short musical career Sadie has performed at a multitude of festivals such as Boardmasters, Wonderfields, Beautiful Days, and will be performing at Victorious in August. We are sure you will thoroughly enjoy listening to Sadie.
Rude Eyes The Rude Eyes are a young band formed at Bishop Luffa School. They are a great up and coming local band that play a combination of their own songs plus covers that will get everyone singing and dancing.
