Historic Old Town Hall’s Great Hall Launches Live Music with Inaugural 7 Hills Spring Festival on 21st March
Trowbridge, Wiltshire – Following an extensive and transformative refurbishment, the historic Old Town Hall will open its doors to host the inaugural 7 Hills Spring Festival on 21 March, marking a significant new chapter in the cultural life of the region.
Conceived as a celebration of world-class songwriting and contemporary creative excellence, the festival brings together an exceptional line-up of internationally acclaimed artists alongside compelling emerging voices, all set within the newly revitalised Old Town Hall.
Headlining the evening are The Delines, widely regarded as one of the most evocative and accomplished bands of their generation. Renowned for their cinematic soul, lush arrangements and profoundly humane storytelling, The Delines have been praised by critics as “one of the finest Americana acts working today,” with performances described as “exquisite, elegant and utterly transportive.” Their appearance at the 7 Hills Spring Festival offers a rare opportunity to experience a band consistently hailed among the very best songwriters and performers on either side of the Atlantic.
They are joined by Our Man in the Field, whose transatlantic Americana and increasingly celebrated live performances have captivated audiences across Europe; the distinguished American singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur, known for his poetic intensity; multiple AMA UK Award winner Hannah White, recognised as one of Britain’s most profound contemporary songwriters; Matt Owens & The DVP, delivering a dynamic blend of modern folk and rock with richly crafted lyricism; and Courting Ghosts, whose growing reputation signals a bold and distinctive emerging voice within the Americana scene.
The festival’s excellent and expansive programme continues with performances from Concrete Prairie, blending folk and Americana with a distinctive edge; Fly Yeti Fly, offering hauntingly beautiful folk; Aqaba, showcasing highly original indie sounds; legendary songwriter Leander Morales, delivering a masterclass in songcraft; Thieves, combining exceptional musicianship, rich harmonies and humour; Bluebeard and the Desperate Hours, Dave Turner’s anthemic pop-rock project known for its irresistible hooks and lyrical warmth; Chris Greenhalgh, wonderful bath based singer-songwriter; and Biff Country, bringing their Nashville-inspired sound to the heart of Trowbridge.
Showcasing newly enhanced performance spaces, sensitive architectural restoration and a revitalised artistic vision, the renewed Old Town Hall stands as a major cultural milestone. The 7 Hills Spring Festival will not only celebrate the building’s transformation but also signal a bold new era for Trowbridge’s cultural landscape.
