Alongside all of the spectacular music events you’ll find detailed in the GAP Festival programme, there are also “fringe” music events popping up in local venues.
From jazz and folk, to acoustic and pop music. Individual performers to full-pieced bands. Local groups to semi-professional musicians. These FREE non-ticketed performances will give you the chance to sit back and soak up the Festival atmosphere with a drink in hand.
