What an absolutely cracking launch to this year’s Caldmore Village Festival. The Bath Street Centre hosted our launch party to a ram-packed sell out crowd – next year we may have to sell ‘standing only’ tickets!!!

The evening kicked off with the traditional ‘loading of the plates’ buffest style followed by a fantastic performance by Caldmores own Bath Street Band. The rest of the evening continued onwards and upwards with further outstanding musical performances by Malik Raof and Malik Razak, Dean Janjua, and Snooty Bobs. With dancing from S and J Stars Dance school and stand up from Dave Shakespeare plus more ‘loading of the plates’ the evening proved to be a feast for the senses.

What a fantastic atmosphere – and a fantastic start to the year!

If you like what you see and would like to find out more or get involved in this years festival let us know by responding to this post and we will get back to you. Otherwise just subscribe to the blog for regular updates. Or why don’t you come along to the Caldmore Community Clean Up on Saturday 12th February for more information… Click Here!  (you get a scrummy lunch on the house)

The Balti Site restaurant, venue for the second ‘A Taste of Caldmore’ music and food event, has just reopened next door to its last place of trading on Caldmore Road. It is now called Balti Spice and is open from 5.30pm 6 days a week ,closed mondays(not bank holidays!

The Festival Events Committee is reorganising the second ‘A Taste of Caldmore’ event with a jazz ensemble playing sometime in March. This top notch band, from the organiser of the Upton-on-Severn Jazz Festival, will be playing in our newest local restaurant – back from the flood!

This is a larger venue and as the last ‘A Taste of Caldmore’ event was fully booked, yet postponed, we are expecting to sell this one out very quickly too.

Dates to be confirmed – Watch This Space!
