10 years of The D.H Lawrence Music Festival completed!

Music in 14 eastwood venues, with 150+ acts travelling around the town, and who knows how many punters! ... you were all amazing and made this easily our biggest festival yet.

From acts saying it was their favorite gig to date, to venues telling us it was the busiest theyve been in 12 years, we're really proud that we can provide this event to the people of eastwood each year.

Just a few thank yous as always.

- a huge thank you to all the hosts at each venue who work a very busy and long day
- thank you to all the acts that come to perform
- thank you to all the landlords and landladys for their wonderful venues
- thank you to our sponsors who make the festival possible Watsons Estate Agents, Broxtowe Borough Council, The Old Nottinghamians' Society and The D.h. Lawrence Society
- thank you Laurence Crow for his amazing artwork
- Thank you to our wonderful charity BlindEye who were out and about all day spreading the word and running their charity raffle
- And finally thank you to everyone that came out to fill the venues and check out these incredible musicians ... the event wouldn't have grown to what it is now without you

Now its time to relax and think about next year.

Tell us ... who did you enjoy watching the most?

With just two days to go we would like to again highlight our charity for this years festival, BlindEye

Their volunteers will be out and about all day to speak about the work they do, and they will be set up at The Old Wine Vaults running a tombola and raffle with some amazing prizes to win.

Be sure to visit them and chat to the team on the day, grab some tickets from them at the OWV Base and if you can scan the code on our posters and leaflets around the town which lead to their website, where you can donate, find info on the charity and what prizes they have to win on the raffle.

Blindeye are an incredible local charity who work with people living on the streets of Nottingham, offering them someone to speak to and the crucial things they need, from food ro clothes.
