Anne Middleton, Secretary and Concerts Coordinator for Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival, said: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank every act for taking the time to apply and audition for our concerts.
Once again receiving so much interest proves that the Bridgwater carnival concerts are as popular as ever “The standard of the acts was exceptionally high, and this demonstrates just how much talent we have in Bridgwater and the local area.
The judges had a very difficult task in choosing which ones should go forward to the 12 night show later this year.
For those acts that didn’t make it through, we would love to see them back auditioning again next year.”
This year’s main carnival concerts sponsor is Howards Motor Group, with the auditions sponsored by Anderson and Wall, and the concert tickets sponsored by Somerset Car Sales.
