In 1991 two individuals decided that there simply weren't enough venues in the town for young people to play music. An impromptu stage was erected on the promenade and local bands were invited along to play for free to whoever happened to be around at the time. That first year attracted an audience of about 150 people and their reaction was so positive that it was decided to repeat the exercise the following year.
Year on year the Festival grew attracting, quite literally, thousands of people over the two or three days. And, they weren't all simply just music lovers but a complete representation of the whole local community who looked on it as their annual excuse to get together on the seafront and have a great time.
Each year, Rox try to make the event better than before and attract bands and artists from all over the world. The combination of professional and amateur artists produces a fantastic off-stage ambience for all the performers who are able to mix and relax, and indeed, learn from each others skills and experiences.
Now, the Rox Music & Arts Organisation see the Festival as the celebration of everything that we do culminating in one massive party for the town which brings together families, the young, the 'not so young' and our multi-cultural society for a weekend of music, art, sound and colour.
hey we were wondering if you could please reply to our rox band sign up we enlisted some time ago and a man called robin said he would pass on the details but we have not heard anything since, thanks.
