THE Romsey Festival of Youth Music programme will be delivered to households across Romsey next week as the event approaches.

This year's festival spans two weeks, starting on June 22, and includes a variety of events and music including around 100 young pianists playing in a Pianothon, steel bands, jazz and choral concerts.

One of the festival directors said: "Last year's festival was a huge success and a great celebration of the talented young musicians in Romsey and the surrounding area.

"I am delighted with this year's programme and hope that everyone will find something to enjoy."
