Watchet Live Music Festival

Plug In were at Watchet Live Music Festival in 2010, which is held yearly over the August Bank holiday weekend from the Friday to Sunday.

Set in the amazing views of the west somerset coast line and beyond, with the mainstage backing out over the sea - there aren't many more places you'd rather be on a sunny August bank holiday, sat in a field, watching a band, with a cider in your hand with the sun beaming down onto you. Bliss. It's a really family friendly festival with on site camping, 2 stages, open mic tent, Something Else Tea Tent, food court, workshops, real ale and cider bar and onsite parking - it really is a nice place to be for the weekend.

The music starts on both stages Friday evening & continues through till Sunday night, with the music stopping at 11pm each night - acts vary from tribute artists to up and coming bands and much more like The Beat, The Wurzels, My Winehouse, The Bad Shepherds - there's some real talent to be seen.

In 2010 there were some awesome acts to be seen across the whole weekend aswell as some more unusal shows there was street dancing shows and workshops, aerobics, cabaret, drumming workshop, circus skills and regular childrens entertainment & much more!

Plug In were asked to film the festival and produce a 2010 highlights film - so here it is.
