All aboard for our next event! Loudhailer Seaside Special at Filey Folk Festival, Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd May 2 pm – 8 pm. A host of fantastic acoustic music, bar and candle lit tables, great vibes, bring a picnic. Free entry.
It will be bursting at the seams with live music in Filey during the first weekend of May. We’re delighted to be hosting a Loudhailer Seaside Special weekender as part of the festivities – at a brand new venue, the Masonic Hall, 27 Rutland Street, Filey, YO14 9JA (just down from The Belle Vue). Doors at 1pm, and we’ve got a brilliant line up, starting at 2 pm on both Sat and Sun 2nd and 3rd May and it’s all free entry. We’re opening the show at 2pm both days, it would be great if you would bring your friends and family and hang out for the afternoon. There will be cabaret style tables and you can bring a picnic (but not alcohol, there is a bar there). It’s a family friendly venue and we’re really looking forward to it!
