RICHMOND Live, billed as the fastest-growing free live music event in the UK, is held on Friday and Saturday.

The sixth annual event features more than 30 bands and solo performers on two stages.

On Friday, a Live and Loud workshop will be held, for musicians aged five to 18, to create a band in a day at the Black Sheep Inn.

Free brochures, with the full programme, are available free throughout the town.

A bucket collection will be taken on both days of the event towards costs. There is a licensed bar and food is available, from 11am to 11pm.
