The highly anticipated Fulltone Festival was brought to Devizes over the weekend, with the magic of opera winning people's hearts over in the town.

The Fulltone Orchestra, a 65-piece orchestra, were the headline act, with the focus of inspiring people to love opera and orchestral music.

The family-friendly music festival took place for the third time this year after promising to be bigger and better than ever, with two full days of back-to-back music, performed by the Fulltone Orchestra, conducted by Anthony Brown.

And it seems that the festival did not disappoint.

Special guest artists performed on stage include the formidable voice of Gareth Dafydd Morris and BBC Radio presenter James Threlfall.

Hundreds of people were able to make the most of the event, and there was something for everyone over the weekend.

A rendition of Mr Brightside was even performed by Will Foulstone on the piano, giving the Killers a run for their money.

 

 It was a jam-packed weekend, with a "classical concert", and a "movies concert" taking place on Saturday afternoon, as well as a "90s smash hits" concert in the evening. 

Festival-goers got to hear and see their favourite tunes, possibly as they never had before, with songs like Reach, Bitter Sweet Symphony and A Little Respect all being played. 

On Sunday, the FTO Big Band played in the afternoon, followed by opera on the Green, and to finish it all off, there were was a final section called "Disco 70's Inferno" which went into the evening. 

The event's managing director, Anthony Brown noted in the festival programme: "Why do we do this weekend? 

"Because we want to bring incredible and massive orchestral music, of all genres to our amazing town. 

"There's nothing else like it and we're really hoping that it's here to stay and become a part of the fabric of what makes Devizes such a vibrant place to live."

Anthony gave a special events team, backstage team, their "army" of volunteers, those who helped keep the event in the public eye, Lavington School and his wife, Jemma Brown- whom he has been married to for 10 years, noting that the event would never have happened without her.
