The Fringe Sessions are a series of intimate evening performances centred around 'McBuzzโ€™s Barn' - a handsome oak-framed building on the edge of the village of Salcombe Regis at Th

orn Park Golf Course a couple of miles along the coast from Sidmouth. The Sessions celebrate the very best in emerging acts, breaking artists and under-the-radar musicians - not just locally but from across the whole UK with occasional international touring artists. A fantastic mini festival of live music in an authentic setting. The music is an eclectic mix of many genres - and has included folk/roots, bluegrass, stomp, blues, acoustic, jazz fusion, world and indie rock/pop - plus everything in-between. It runs alongside (but independent of) the long-established Sidmouth Folk Festival held down in the town. Live music with 4 top-shelf acts each night from 7.00pm until late. On the middle Monday there is the popular Fringe Marquee Sessions - FREE to all - (artist donations encouraged!) It starts at 2.00pm with a selection of some of the most exciting musicians and bands from the region. A lovely relaxed environment to enjoy some great live music!. The venue is adjacent to the Sidmouth festival campsite - so there is camping and showers available right next door. There is a bar serving a range of excellent local beers and ciders plus delicious hot food with vege and vegan options. Lets make some more sweet summer memories! http://www.sidmouthfringe.co.uk
