The Burbage Community Arts Festival came to the Hinckley Act - featuring a panoply of musicians playing a wide variety of musical styles.

We asked the musicians to describe their range and style. Jazz? Blues? Rock? Trad? Classical? R&B? Gospel? “Yes,” they said, “All that.”

Some of the highlights included:-

• The launch of 2 x new CDs by Bob Tibbetts.
• A special appearance by Kirsten May the singer and instrumentalist.
• A guest appearance by singer songwriter Paula ann Driver.
• Well-known local instrumentalist Nigel Beck.
