Wind, rain...and music! 

Frequently inSwindon gig entertains wet shoppers

 

May Bank holiday usually means one thing in Swindon - an extra day to spend avoiding the rain!

 

But there was no stopping locals in the town centre on Sunday, who fought the wet and windy conditions to watch four local bands perform.

 

Quaking Swindon!: The Shudders

 

Buswell, The Shudders, Acoustic Taxi and The Paddocks were all brought to the centre as part of Frequently inSwindon - an initiative 

which showcases the work of local musicians on the first weekend of every month.

 

Helping to support the town's thriving music scene, the gigs offer bands the chance to play to crowds who wouldn't normally experience their music.

 

Now in its third month, the gig has found a new home at Wharf Green - in front of Swindon's brand new Big Screen.
