Unlike most music festivals, we don't employ professionals to entertain us, rather we have the opportunity to create our own entertainment (not compulsory!). Pretty much anyone who wants to get on stage can do so at some point over the weekend. Bring an act or a poem prepared as a group or solo and fill a short slot, or devise something with others at the festival.A great way of getting involved and meeting people is to put your name into the pot to be part of a band for the blind date concert. It's also fine to enjoy the music from the comfort of the audience.
The choir, beginners' jam and evening play-arounds are open to everyone.
You are welcome to arrive from 12pm on Friday, 29th May, and you need to leave by 2pm Monday, 1st of June.
If you want to arrange to stay longer, please arrange this directly with Gunns Bush : 027 6880 945 [email protected]
This year's theme - "A New World Somewhere"
You can use this theme to inspire song choices and conversations, and also as a dress-up theme for our Sunday night dinner - think optimism, hippies, explorers, space travel, utopia, other lands, fantasy-land etc etc
