The family friendly Seeds Music Festival, run by Chester community radio station Flipside, returns to Alexander’s in Rufus Court for the third year running on Sunday, July 31

The event offers a mix of music, art, dance and poetry that promotes and celebrates local live performance and community radio.

Seeds is a semi-acoustic festival where the bands will be playing a mix of alt-folk, folk-rock, Americana and country blues. The DJs will be playing a sunshine soundtrack to complement the bands playing.

There will be two live music stages showcasing the cream of the music scene from Chester and the surrounding areas.
