Ventnor Fringe Festival: Top Quality Musicians Play Tonight

If you’re a fan of quality live music, there are two amazing acts performing tonight as part of the Ventnor Fringe Festival.

There are just a few tickets left to listen to the beautiful tones of Olivia Chaney, when she performs at the Bonchurch Old Church tonight from 7.30pm.

Olivia is a classically trained pianist whose pure musical talent led her to teach herself the guitar and the harmonium. This musical ability is combined with a raw creative energy which has helped her cultivate and nurture a beautifully original sound.


Taking place at the same time but in St Catherine’s Church is rising star, Marques Toliver.

Marques Toliver, described by chart-topper Adele as her “favourite new artist”, is a truly exciting new talent on the UK music scene who is starting to gain a committed band of followers and increasingly widespread recognition. Toliver is an incredibly dextrous and accomplished violinist and vocalist who synthesises elements of blues, folk and soul music whilst creating an incredibly fresh sound.

At 23 he’s already played with the likes of Bat for Lashes and Grizzly Bear, and has been drafted in as a session violinist for some premier indie bands. His striking originality and genuine creativity stand him in good stead for the future and he’s likely to become somewhat of a household name in the coming years.

Tickets for both events are available from the box office Routemaster Bus at Salisbury Gardens on Dudley Road, Ventnor. Or call 07532 416 496.
