Finfest 2015 – Important information

 

Glamping

 

We are pleased to announce that thanks to a very generous and kind offer from Glampit.com based in Yorkshire to waiver transport and mattress costs we are now able to offer bell tents for up to 4 people at Finfest 2015 for £120 including mattresses (£100.00 refundable security deposit required).

Tents would be pitched on Friday 11thSeptember so anyone wishing to join us for a few drinks and bit of music on the night before the main event is welcome.

5 are already booked so if anyone would like to take up this offer please e-maildave.vanham@polypipe.com asap

 

Silent Disco

 

The silent disco will only commence once the headline act has finished. However, as several headphones have gone missing in previous years we have decided to introduce a £5 fee payable when they are issued and this will be refunded provided they are returned in good condition

 

Prize Draw –

 

The winners of the prize draw for people who purchased tickets before midnight on 3rd August will be announced on Sunday morning 6th September, good luck to all those involved.

 

General Information

 

There will be a designated car parking area for people who are not camping. People who are camping can park their vehicle within the camping area but for safety reasons unless there is an emergency it must not be moved until daylight on Sunday morning.

 

The event is held in a field alongside a working farm so no dogs are permitted on site and we would appreciate your help in keeping the site free from litter, particularly glass bottles. Bin bags and a skip will be provided for disposal of waste. Please wear sensible footwear and warm clothing for when the sun disappears, and bring a torch.

 

Toilets facilities will be provided on site including one for disabled use.

 

Two mobile caterers will be on site and should cover most dietary requirements including gluten free & vegetarian

 

There will be an awesome cash bar, providing an eclectic mix of drinks, spirit & cocktails and whilst people are welcome to bring there own alcohol to site we would prefer that to be kept in the camping area as the bar helps support our contribution to the charity.

 

Finally

 

Finfest is now in its third year so please keep pushing those ticket sales and promoting the event as this will enable us to continue to support this fantastic charity. We are there to celebrate Fin’s life in the style the great man would approve of so in the words of Bill & Ted ‘be excellent to each other, and party on dudes !’

Okay everything's starting to come together now!

We have the amazing Beerbuz booked which is like Campervan which transforms into a bar! But not only that Budweiser are subsidising the bar so it will be cheaper than pub prices and half the profits go back into Finfest!! Epic!

For those wanting driving we have Pop up Joe's mobile Coffee bar, having sampled some of his coffee I can highly recommend it!

And the merchandise is starting to come through, so far I have taken delivery of; Guitar Picks, Badges and I'm waiting for keyrings and iron on patches! Wowzer!

The lineup is close to being nailed down, stage times almost there .... who's ready to RRAAAAWWWWKKKK! x

Oh and the Finfest Wristbands are here, how cool????

Okay so they are coming thick and fast now, I have just confirmed a couple of really awesome chilled out bands to give the lineup some diversity.

We have the excellent local band Radio Charmers - I have seen these guys play live and they are really good.  Check out some of their youtube video's. 

We also have the mighty CTRL C who do some truly epic mashup covers.   Check out their recent sofa session on youtube http://youtu.be/4tDrpvoAkQs

Both are going to bring a nice laid back vibe to the line up with some super
cool covers, really looking forward to seeing them both!

Confirmed today ... Stagefright are back on the bill!

I'm delighted that Stagefright - the band who rocked Fin's wake, are back on the Finfest line up.  I know they will rock Finfest!  Really looking forward to seeing them live again.

Also ..... drumroll ........ Greg - the miniman has also now been confirmed for Finfest.  Check out his website www.theminiman.co.uk for all of you that knew Fin you will know how big a booking this is for the festival. 

I also think he bears a striking similarity to Fin?? What do you think?

Added to the already awesome looking lineup are:

- Brains for Breakfast
- Women
- Arkhamists

Its shaping up now.... got a few more tricks left up my sleeve, still holding out for a killer headliner!!

The landowners lives on the farm in the adjacent field to the one that is hosting Finfest so it's only fair that whilst on their land, we live by their rules.

1. No Drugs
2. No Violence
3. Don't venture onto the Farm - stay on the four acre site
4. Don't disturb or interfere with the animals
5. No amplified music after 22:45 hours
6. Leave the site as you find it.

The Finfest website has now surpassed 2,500 hits!! How cool is that??
