Aldridge Children's festival

People in Aldridge often say " We need more things for family and children in Aldridge", well you now have the latest scoop, hot off the press for a brand new series of events, right here in Aldridge.

An Aldridge based Corporate Entertainment Consultant, whose usual artist bookings for clients, range from Stephen Fry to Boris Johnson MP is trying to bring entertainment home to Aldridge, with the creation of 'Aldridge Children's Festival - A Series of Unmissable Events'.


Julie Homfray, who co-runs Cohesion Ltd with Sarah Morrissey from their Aldridge and Lichfield offices, has for some time wanted to see more events take place in the village. She plans to hold a series of five initial shows at Aldridge's Community Centre, on Sunday afternoons from the end of February.

"The first season of shows will be focused on children's entertainment: A Girls Aloud Tribute and Pirate Show for the Primary School children, an under 18s version of the popular indie-rock band 'Green Day', a Nursery Rhyme show for the younger children and a Family Magic show all feature in the programme. Julie say's " I'm having great feedback from parents, kids and teenagers, who really welcome these types of events".

Girls R Aloud are a fantastic tribute - " my 7 year old daughter Jodie and her friends are ecstatic at the thought of going to a real concert just for Aldridge children". Green Bay, the Green Day tribute have a good Midlands following.
"This is a new type of event for Cohesion. We normally work on Award Ceremonies and Corporate dinners - but if this first run of events is a success, I'd be willing to put together more seasons. I've plans for a Senior Season too - with acts ranging from Frank Sinatra tributes to Jazz and Speakers - but I'm keen to hear from all age-groups to see what would be of interest".
