You Know We Said There Was No SherstonFest in 2015…. Well…..

….. well there isn’t (boooo) BUT…. we have great news (hooray!!)

Your SFHQ team are joining forces with the folks who bring you Malmesbury Acoustic Sessions, Malmesbury Rocks Nights, Malmesbury Comedy Nights and even bits of FieldView Festival and WOMAD to bring you ….. (*fanfare* )…..The Boondocks Festival 2015 – BUT ONLY IF  you let us know you want it…. and sharpish!!  Read on to find out how!!

Boondocks

Watch the video to find out more…..

What is Boondocks?  Well it’s gonna be a lot like SherstonFest, with a dollop of Malmesbury Acoustic, a sliver or 2 of Malmesbury Rocks, a hint of FieldView and just the essence of WOMAD (well we are hoping to borrow their flags again anyway 🙂 )  – so that’s cool, chilled, family friendly, fantastic music, great food, local beers and ciders… the whole SherstonFest she-bang… just well,  “more”..

When is Boondocks?  17th and 18th of July 2015.

Where is Boondocks? On the Foxley road out of Malmesbury, just opposite Foxley Nurseries.  So the good folks of Sherston can be there in about 15 mins on their bikes down some quiet country lanes and the good folks of Malmesbury can walk from town in 10 to 15 mins (but you can also drive and camp right on the site)

How Can YOU Make Sure It Actually Happens? Its going to be a bit bigger than SherstonFest (but still “Boutique”) so we are running a “Kickstarter” funding campaign, mainly to see if people are up for it  – so if you go and “pledge” £30 on kickstarter when it looks like we have enough pledges to put it on (about 30 grand *gulp* ) your 30 quid will magically have bought you a (cheap) full weekend ticket including camping… simples!!

So to make it happen just go here and do the do  – you put up 30 quid, we put in 9 months of blood, sweat and tears and lo….  Boondocks is born!

BUT you only have a month to do this (you have to put a time limit on Kickstarters) … so if by the beginning of December there isn’t enough pledged to make it happen…. then sadly it won’t …  🙁

How excited are we…. ?  Hope you are too!!

Big BIG Love from SFHQ

PS…. Why “Boondocks”…..  well we are kinda gently tacking the Micky out of ourselves 🙂  As the oxford dictionary has it…..

Rough or isolated country:this place is out in the boondocks, you’ll never get here by bus

 

mmmm … actually we might put a shuttle bus on 🙂

 

That’s All Folks…….

stage shotAll over for another year … waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy to many people to say thank you to for making it happen right now – but you know who you are and will get your rewards in heaven, if not the pub!!

Sun, cider great music, great friends…. take me now  my life is complete !!

Post your pics on FB and tag away….. millions already here  we’ll do ours once we have finished lugging stuff out of the field

allThere is no SherstonFest in 2015…..  but stay tuned for other interesting announcements…..  mmmmmmm   – ’till then

Big BIG love from all at SFHQ

 

Full Programme Of Stuff Published…. Including England- Italy Match Report…!

This is what’s crack-a-lakin’….  gonna be huge…  full details of what’s happening over the weekend are below.

Also note that the football kicks off at 11pm on Sat (cunningly just as the music ends… if you tip Sepp Blatter a fiver and he’ll do whatever you want)  – but in case you CBA here is the match report…

“The first hour is dull as ditch-water.  On 60 mins Italy toe-poke a streaky winner in… we then spend 30 mins lobbing in 40 yard diagonal crosses wondering why our midget strikers can’t get on the end of them.  The boys are gutted but Roy is not panicking and we are still taking it one game at a time.”

So no rush… have another cider…
