Frida really is a star of the future and a definite one-to-watch. Having been writing her own material since the tender age of 12, Barnsley born Frida has spent the last year working with Steve and Toby from WentFest – with assistance from Eliot Kennedy - on recording and producing her debut album.
Set for release in 2025, it features an eclectic mix of songs that range from upbeat pop and dance to acoustic rock and haunting ballads – all delivered by Frida’s unique story-telling vocals.
Another fantastic star of the future, we are thrilled to welcome Tom Masters to WentFest in 2025. Fresh from recently supporting BRIT Award winner Tom Walker, Tom is an incredible songwriter, singer and musician.
Our New Music Stage has always been proud to support new, local talent and Tom Masters is definitely someone you’ll be hearing much more from in years to come.
