A FLINTSHIRE town is set to raise the roof with the return of a popular music festival this weekend.

Live on the Square, in Mold, is being held on Sunday, May 5, and the event is in high demand from music lovers.

The event, organised by volunteers Cllr Pete Dando and Jim Evans, with the help of Mold Town Council, will be held on the town's Daniel Owen Square from 12.30pm to 9.30pm, with a host of local bands and performers taking to the stage.

Cllr Dando said: "We are all looking forward to this year's Live on the Square and we have six amazing bands and solo singers throughout the day.

"Our line-up this year sees the return of a number of Live on the Square crowd favourites, including Mold's very own 50 Hertz, who this year are donating their fee to NEWSAR.

"Joining 50 Hertz is another popular Mold band making their third appearance on the Square, The Establishment, four local lads covering some of the most popular and favoured songs from different generations.

"Another Square favourite joining us again is Six Ton Dog; a four-piece covers band who played their first gig in 2008, covering mainly rock covers interspersed with their own versions of traditional Welsh songs. The Trigger Hounds are up next, having played at the Square a number of years back, a lively, dynamic and engaging rock covers band based in Cheshire.

"Making their first appearances on the Square are The Audio Drones, an independent rock n roll band, combining influences of punk, ska, emo, folk and pop music to create their sound. Add into the mix are some amazing local solo singers such as Amy Tasker, Mali Sigsworth and Graeme Hann!

"To end the evening another newbie to the Square, My Eleventh Toe, a four-piece covers band who pride themselves on delivering a show packed full of high energy and big powerful songs from the 80s to present day."
