WATCHET Music Festival organisers are delighted that the event has been nominated for national awards.
It is in three categories of The UK Festival Awards 2012 – best small festival, best family festival and for the grass roots festival award.
Mark Bale, chairman of Watchet LIVE, which organises the event, said: “We are really pleased. We didn’t set out to be nominated for awards when we started it, we just did it to bring a festival to West Somerset, but to get this recognition is fantastic.”
Voting is taking place at www.festivalawards.com/vote until October 31.
The awards will be presented at The Roundhouse in London on December 3.
Early bird tickets for next year’s festival, which Dreadzone are booked to
headline are on sale at www.watchetfestival.co.uk
