It gets said many times, but it is true, we are very lucky to live in New Milton! We enjoy easy access to the amazing New Forest National Park and marvel at the outstanding beauty of our coastline. An added bonus to living in New Milton is enjoying live music performances on a summer’s afternoon on the Recreation Ground. Considered to be one of life’s little pleasures in New Milton!
This summer, residents and visitors were treated to musical performances provided by local bands, The Wise Guys, Total Madness and Groovemeister. All three performances were fantastic, with the community coming together to dance and socialise, making the most of the summer ambience.
Attending each event, New Milton Town Mayor, Cllr Alvin Reid, said he was delighted to walk round and meet so many people on the Recreation Ground enjoying the performances and was looking forward to more music events next year.
New Milton Town Council have a small budget to host these free to attend music afternoons and were delighted to receive donations from local organisations – New Milton Residents Association, Innovus UK, Bethel House Care Home, Keffen Plant Hire and New Milton Freemasons. This support is greatly appreciated as it goes towards the performance fees, helping to provide quality live music and sound system.
To help plan gigs for next year, we would like your feedback on this year’s programme of music – what did you like and any suggestions for future performances. Please complete the survey here Summer Afternoons of Live Music – Google Forms https://forms.gle/GsGoVqaS5Ljf1XTm8
