New for 2026 Festival: Dance music backing tracks must be uploaded before the Festival

Dance Music Backing Tracks

Dance music backing tracks must now be uploaded to the Festival before 1st April. It will no longer be possible to bring music to the class on the day (on a CD). To upload a music track, please click on “Upload Dance Music File” below and complete the form. Note that you must be logged in to a Google account in order to be able to upload the file. If you do not currently have a Google account, it is free and easy to set one up – click on the “Create Google Account” below.

Music Backing Tracks for Music Classes and Speech & Drama Classes

Certain classes in Music and Speech & Drama permit the use of backing tracks. In these cases, the music must be brought to the class on a mobile device such as a smart phone, a tablet or a laptop. It is important that the file is downloaded to the device beforehand, rather than being stored remotely on the internet, as the mobile data signal in the Town Hall is poor, and there is no public wi-fi facility there.

Note that the Dance Music Upload facility is not available for non-Dance classes.
