Westport Sound is a 2 day festival of improvised, adventurous & new music taking place in the historic North Wiltshire market town of Malmesbury, 40 minutes from Bristol; it’s sited in the old western quarter of the town known as Westport, on the north bank of the River Avon overlooking the green expanse of Daniel’s Well.

Programme (with more to be announced):

137 / Bryn Wyrd / Dominic Lash & Heather Roche / Last Dream of the Morning / Milkweed / Pat Thomas / Shifa / Theo May's New Odd Unit

Westport Sound seeks to continue & evolve the adventurous & collaborative spirit of the music & vision of Keith Tippett with a programme that dissolves genre distinctions across jazz, classical, post-punk, traditional & electronic music. Last year's debut Westport Sound emerged into largely uncharted musical territories & possibilities for the town. Predominantly across two venues: a 50 capacity room - The Hayloft - above our hub, The Three Cups pub & in St Mary’s Hall, a 120 capacity town hall style church, a minute's walk from the pub. There will be fringe events, a record shop, food, good ale & warm company.

Malmesbury is a 40 minute drive from Bristol, 30 minutes from Stroud, 20 minutes from Chippenham train station that has regular London, Swindon & Bristol journeys.
