By way of an intro, KENFEST (www.kenfest.co.uk) is a festival that takes place May bank holiday each year. It's in its 5th year in 2026. It's a community driven event that raises funds for a number of local charities such as Myton Hospice and Warwickshire Hearts, as well as Kenilworth Rugby Club.

Each year the KENFEST team organise a "Kenfest Calling" - a number of live heats and judges choice focussing on local live singer/songwriters and bands. This year the quality of the entrants was amazing, making judging extremely hard. 

The event that this article features is the final for Kenfest Calling. There will be 5 entrants performing live at the HMV Empire in Coventry where the judges will whittle down to a winner who will earn a slot at the main KENFEST festival in May. 

Those performing will be Cat Mead, The Social, Relize, Kizzylimbs and Beebee Bassey

Tickets will be available on the door on the night

The more the merrier to support these fantastic performers - please attend if you can !

Videos are available on the KENFEST Facebook page from all the heats and the judges choice.
