Summer News 2024 - A great weekend at Haslemere Fringe Festival 2024 painting 6 ukuleles and 3 guitars to be signed by the headline bands. I meet the headline musicians with the musical instruments for theur signatures. We then held a draw and silent auction with all the funds donated for the festival music charities which support new bands,to play along side headline bands. I happily returned as Artist in Residence as volenteer artist, helping to fundraise through art and music . Painting live at the festival with colourful abstract and floral artwork adding to my interpretation with my paintbrush - I met  bands such as Blue,Tau Pau, Tash, Space Fishermen, Callum Beattie,  Haircut 100, Rebecca Ferguson, Daniel Bedingfield , the comedians and many more! Giving the public a chance to purchase one of the colourful and awesome handpainted guitars , donated by local music business and signed by the headline bands performing each day PLUS during the weekend I painted an additional 6 new ukuleles for a live draw  tickets to win a new ukulele Raising money for the Fringe Festival music charity which helps them continue to add new and upcoming musicians to perform at the festival.Run by a collaboration of amazing locals , local businesses, and sponsors giving up their time to bring you the most fantastic music and creative weekend
