Gid Fest 2022

Gid Fest was a brand-new event that Tom Collins wanted to take forward, it was something he always mentioned and wanted to do, as Jord loved his music.

We have had successful nights at The Legion in previous years with the Rock for Giddo events, so we weren’t sure how it was going to go with other things clashing on the day, such as the FA Cup final. However, we had a fantastic day raising money for our charity at Flint Mountain Hotel with lots of great stalls, entertainment for children and of course; live music with a DJ inside to finish. The weather was stunning and couldn’t have landed on a better day.

Sean Seery took the forefront of not only compere but also a sound engineer whilst providing his own PA system for us all on the terrace. He also performed solo and with his band! We had other brilliant live acts such as Dominique Atkins, Lydia & Jack, Tom Collins, Nik Lloyd, Tom Gambino and a band in Violet’s Leap to round it off.

It’s always great to see a huge push of support from the local community our fundraising events which seem to go from strength to strength each year. It was safe to say we had a magnificent turn out and this will be in though for future events.
