OUR MISSION

Local & Live Music trustees Jason Dormon, Peter Taylor, Paul Dunton and Nigel Bent

The Local & Live festival has long championed local, grassroots music, often giving musicians the opportunity to perform to their biggest crowd of the year in Calverley Grounds.

But in an area as culturally vibrant as Tunbridge Wells, we believe there’s more work to be done in supporting our music and arts community. 

That’s why, in 2019, Local & Live founder Paul Dunton joined forces with likeminded members of the community to form Local & Live Music – a registered charity with an official mission to promote the music we all love. 

Aims and objectives

Now, Local & Live Music is led by a board of trustees compromising Paul Dunton, Jason Dormon, Peter Taylor, Nigel Bent and Barney Jameson. 

Collectively, their role is to fulfil the charity’s aims and objectives, as follows:

“To promote public appreciation of and education in the arts and music by delivering a free to attend community festival, to include the performance of live original music and spoken word and other music-related educational events and opportunities.”

Local And Live Music is a Charity (CIO)  No. 1182100.  Registered in England and Wales.
