“Tom organised two successful test events last year which made it clear the desire for live music in Mansfield.”
The promoters said they are keen to support grassroots and touring artists, ensuring they are rewarded properly for their work.
Gary said patrons get good value pricing to ensure the success of this project, with tickets starting from only £6 to see three bands.
