LOOSE TEA TENT

 

No matter what instrument you play: Piano, Banjo or Beatbox the 24 hour Loose Tea tent has it all… all the time… all down to YOU!  So whether you’re a crooner or cellist… poet, break dance or pole dance… come and share anything you like, any time you like or just enjoy a slice of Battenberg or a cup of Lady Grey tea at our café.

Everyday between 3.30 – 6 both am and pm Miss Pink invites you and a fiddling vicar (watch out choir boys) to join her top table for high tea.  This groovy granny doesn’t just know how to make tea, she can spin tunes too… on her gramophone player, and the Fiddling Vicar’s a dab hand at well, fiddling… so come along and bring something to the tea party… like a musical instrument, silly sketch, an oversized teatime offering or your juiciest useless fact which could even win you a jammy treat in the ‘Tarts for Trivia’ competition…

 

Other eclectics, you can expect to enjoy are live night time glass blowing demonstrations, cabaret acts, impromptu piano recitals, interactive graffiti painting, karaoke and poetry. 

 

Loose Tea postcards will be on sale as will super-sized biscuit cushions and some divine & delicious teatime offerings at the cafe.

 

Contact Katherine Hudson on 07941 370241 to book your slot on the stage!

 

 

Bestival 2007 Demo Entry

 

This year Bestival have created a new system that will allow us to listen to all of your great unsigned music and to check out your DJing / VJing skills to see if any of it might bring something extra special to Bestival 2007.

This will be the only way we accept demo submissions this year so please don't send us any CDs.

Bands / Singers: Click here to download the Demo Entry Form for Bands / Singers. Please read the instructions carefully and then fill in the information requested and email back to demos@bestival.net along with an mp3 of your best track.

DJs / VJs: Click here to download the Demo Entry Form for DJs / VJs. Please read the instructions carefully and then fill in the information requested and email back to demos@bestival.net along with a link to a streamed 20 minute DJ / VJ mix.

The reason we have set up this process is because we receive 100s of demos every year and we wanted to ensure we gave them all an equal chance.  However, we will not be able to respond to every applicant individually or provide any feedback. If we believe your music is right for Bestival 2007 we will contact you.
