Exmoor Music

Watchet has three resident brass bands in the town who regularly play at functions, events and competitions. They are The Watchet British Legion Band, Watchet Town Band and The Salvation Army Band. Concerts are held in every season all across the region . Folk music is strong at various pubs from the Ship at Porlock Weir to the Top George at Combe Martin And of course you're liable to come across the West Somerset morris dancers outside a country pub, or buskers on the pavement, or a juggler on the seafront, just about anywhere you go...

Lynton & Lynmouth Music Festival - few festivals can boast such a breathtakingly scenic backdrop as this unspoilt corner of North Devon. Picture an expansive green beside the sea, the sun shining down while an afternoon of music unfolds... The majestic Countisbury cliffs create a natural amphitheatre to produce pristine sound, and the shops, pubs and cafes of Lynmouth are just a stroll away. Meanwhile, Lynton gigs take place outdoors in the Old Village and the lavish Victorian town hall. www.llama.org.uk
