ORGANISERS just before the event promises this event would be "the best ever" and boy oh boy it was! The 2015 Formby Live Music Festival , has been going now for 7 years and was held over Friday, 26 June to Sunday, 28 June 2015. Formby has been facing a downhill struggle, as of late, to bring in trade, but events like this will considerably help to ease the issues faced by the Village's traders. Taking part and managing in the very successful event were both the Cafe D'Art and Woodwards, along with the soon to open The Hop and Horn, and the services of local music charity, The MerseyCats.Com. The event for the very first time had a live music stage on Chapel Lane, as well as an open air stage at the Formby Pool. It also had BBQ's, steam train rides, and a fun fair, plus another new stage, located outside The Hop and Horn, on Chapel Lane. This was a fantastic event for young and old alike, with bands like The Farm mixing with other acts, like the Linda Campbell Band, Maria Way and Rigsby's Cat. Of course the Merseycats also took part. If the music was not your taste, and with a large variety of styles on offer, it was hard not to be, children and adults alike, could get their faces painted, thanks to Chloe Cristina. These are a few photographs we snapped at what was a fantastic event. We are just sorry we did not have time to see all 3 days worth of activities. Keep an eye on the Festival's website for next year's event and also, if you have a band, to find out how to apply to play at it. It will be hard to beat this year's event, thanks to the warm weather and fantastic performances, but we are positive 2016 will be bigger and better still! Well done to all who took part and to all the volunteers.   Please remember that we will be adding some more photos from this event to next weeks issue as well!
