Originally planned to take place over two hours, the time slot has been extended as more musicians keen to showcase their talents have been signing up but there may still be space for anyone who fancies getting up on stage to perform.

Music festival director Ian Wells, who will be performing as well as acting as compére for the afternoon, said: “It feels great to be back at Busker’s Corner to allow local new talent to shine and we’re hoping to see a good crowd to encourage our musicians and of course, enjoy an afternoon of great music - and it’s all free.

"“Anyone wanting to perform can either contact me or just turn up on the day, and we’ll do our best to make sure everyone gets a chance to perform.”

Retired civil servant and folk fan Mr Wells, 69, said as well as providing entertainment, the object of the event was to encourage people who had never performed in public to take the plunge.

"There shouldn't be an expectation from the audience to see perfection," he said. "We're all about encouraging new people.

"We had a young girl playing the ukulele last year, she had the most beautiful voice. If we'd said we were only accepting experienced people, we would never have heard her."
