Our big idea for 2023 was to start working towards a two day event, pay our artists a fair rate and meet the ever increasing costs of the festival infrastructure whilst keeping ticket prices at a bargain rate. We achieved most of that but decided the two day notion was a step too far for this year so instead, we are introducing a stand alone evening ticket for a special end of festival show. 

Some of our featured festival artists have agreed to do a special BFF fundraiser show in the Spring so your support for this years show will help us to:

• Introduce an extended evening show featuring Frazer Morgan, the Sheri Kershaw Trio, The Wilswood Buoys and Red Velvet
• Underwrite our Spring Fundraiser show with The Doghouse Collective, Peter & Jane and Fara Affifi
• Keep our prices affordable for families and folks feeling the pinch
• Beef up our marketing strategy
• Support our featured artists with realistic fees and expenses

It was your support that helped us to survice and thrive in 2023 - now its time to invest in a sustainable future for our wonderful annual gathering.
