If any local musicians are interested in performing on the second stage they should contact the festival office on (0113) 3368619.

In addition to this the festival would like as many local musicians as possible to join in the final procession.

Festival director, Dave Evans, said: "We are planning a lantern procession which will involve hundreds of local school children who will perform music, dance and display the lanterns they have created.

"It would be really great if any local musicians who are coming to the event would like to join the procession. We are looking particularly for woodwind, brass and string players."
