It’s with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our friend and talented local photographer, Edward Handley.

Edward was a constant presence at Lymelight; front of stage, camera in hand, capturing the acts as well as the energy of the crowd.

We invite you to join us in honouring Edward by sharing some of his work from this year’s event.

He brought the festival to life through his photography and serves as a reminder that Lymelight is much more than music, it’s about the community that comes together to celebrate and create memories.

Edward was an integral part of that community, and his absence will be deeply felt 💚

THANK YOU NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME! 🙌🙌 That.was

THANK YOU NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME! 🙌🙌

That.was.absolutely.epic! You danced in the sun, the rain and the thunder and we all a ruddy good time doing it! ☀️ 🍻

We always wanna go bigger and better year on year to create a free event that showcases the best of local music - and we think we did that this year?! More stages, more music, more people! 🙏

The biggest thank you to the Castle businesses who fund Lymelight Festival as part of @newcastlebid 😘, alongside our headline sponsors @keeleuniversity. Thanks to @ph_event_team, @leejbarber (king of lineups!), our presenters @by.emily.rose and @lfe_mc, @castleartisan as well all of our amazing venues who hosted venue takeovers and pop ups over the weekend.

This feels like the Oscars!

We have SO many amazing artists doing incredible bits and we love that we can bring all that together, give em a stage and shine a (Lyme)light on on what the Staffs music scene has to offer on local and national scale.

Lastly, YOU! If you were in-front of a stage or in a bar soaking up the Lymelight feels, thanks to you! You make all the hard work worth it 🫶

See ya next year?!
