This just forces me to express my undying love to all you musicians out there.. Who made you all so god damn giving! Thank you.... Once again. This could not have been done without your help. Much appreciation to everyone mentioned in this post.
The line up of acoustic acts is fab.. All perfected performers who are well known locally, many of them have them have been grown afar though, and have found base here during university. So it wont all be rehearsed in a Gloucestershire accent. 'oh arhh!'
Do you all know Joe Summers? He's fab. Plays all over Cheltenham and during his sets you never see a frown in the room. Well, unless hes playing his sad songs. Then we all frown for effect. Ruth Bewsey's voice can be descibed as angelic, and Im very happy to be putting a female act in the line up!! (Come on girls surely more of you can sing!!) Shes wonderful. Alike Joe she plays all over. They both perform in Slaks, the Bongo bar at Subtone and in the Swan. Look them up. They always puts on a good show and know how to get a crowd going..
There will also be live sets from John Madden (who has been an asset to my festival organising team, thank you John :) and Tom Mitchell, Christian Walsh, Adam de Silva, Richard Partington and Xenia on the ucalalie, this is a small guitar (not a banjo!)
In the VIP room, there will only be background music... For those of us who may need a break. In the VIP room.. Thanks to Anna (freelance press officer and creative writing lecturer) There will be some performance poets and poetry readings. Something a little different I hope. Always brilliant to listen to a well written poem. This will also be a little more chilled out.
