St Peter & St Paul's Church

Festival Opener: Snowgoose (acoustic set) + Jayefel

Snowgoose Experience the timeless, harmony-rich folk-rock of Snowgoose live! Tonight they perform as an acoustic duo, bringing their enchanting indie charm to the Church. Featuring the spellbinding vocals of Anna Sheard and the beautiful guitar work of Jim McCulloch (Soup Dragons/BMX Bandits), and with a reputation for transforming venues into intimate, dream-like soundscapes, this promises to be a special night of evocative musical storytelling to open the inaugural Shepton Midsummer Fest.
