Popular Mold music festival to return for May Bank Holiday – Leader Live

A POPULAR Flintshire music festival is set to return next month.
Live on the Square, organised by volunteers Cllr Pete Dando and Jim Evans with the help of Mold Town Council, will be held on the town’s Daniel Owen Square on Sunday, May 4, from 12.30pm to 9.30pm, with a host of local bands and performers taking to the stage.
Cllr Dando said: „We are all looking forward to this year’s Live on the Square and have six amazing bands and solo singers throughout the day.
„Our lineup this year sees the return of Live on the Square crowd favourites Fletch – the ultimate party band bringing high-energy and feel-good vibes to every event, plus newcomers to the event including, Kasp, who will be playing a variety of classic anthems.

„The C90’s is a band who try to choose interesting songs to whilst picking songs that people remember, but not the songs you’d initially think!
„Also joining the line-up are The TTB, a five-piece originally formed in the 1980s when they were at high school in Mold. Twenty on Black are a high-energy rock duo from North Wales, featuring Tron Marshall on drums and Gav Rasmussen on guitar and vocals, and completing the band line up are PTM Music are a Chester/North Wales-based rock and metal covers band, covering everything from The Beatles to Metallica, with three guitarists they don’t shy away from those big Iron Maiden harmonies or layered Foo Fighters riffs and melodies.“

Cllr Dando added: „In addition to the bands there will be solo performances from 14-year-old Brody Xander who has been playing guitar from an early age and, after taking up singing, won the Mold Carnival Time2Shine talent competition last year.
„Next up is David Murray, lead singer of My Eleventh Toe. David will be doing a stripped back and intimate setting of acoustic songs. Final performer is 17-year-old solo artist Joe Butler, a trained classical pianist who taught himself to play guitar when he turned 13, and now he teaches over 250 children for Europe’s biggest music school!“

Jane said: „Live on the square is one of the most talked about events in the town and there’s always a fantastic atmosphere. This will be our seventh year and this year looks no different, so make sure you get your tickets if you want to join us on the square as each year we have had to turn people away as they did not have a ticket, so we cannot stress enough that without a ticket you are not guaranteed entry.“
Food and drink will be available to purchase at the event but due to licensing restrictions, no alcohol can be taken into the event. Full terms and conditions can be found on Live on the Square Facebook or you can request a copy by emailing events@moldtowncouncil.org.uk
