Pre Coverage Festibelly

O Children
What are you looking forward to most at Festibelly?
Being in Hampshire for the first time and seeing The Big Pink again. I've only ever seen them once and it was a pretty impressive show.

How is Festibelly different to any other festival this summer?
I've never been but from what I've been told it's one of the smaller up and coming festivals. The way I see it this means I get to see bands and hang out without feeling too crowded. This is a good thing.


Will you be checking out any artists, if so who?
The Big Pink, King Charles and Sombrero Sound System. I've never heard the latter but if it goes down the way I think it will it will be amazing.

Is there anything special you have planned for your performance?
Come down and you will see.



Man Like Me
What are you looking forward to most at Festibelly?
Being situated in one place and not having to mission it around like the bigger festivals

How is Festibelly different to any other festival this summer?
It's right by the sea so when it all comes to an end you can get over it with a come down trip to the isle of Wight


Will you be checking out any artists, if so who?
Brassroots!!!


Is there anything special you have planned for your performance?
No I usually work that out 5 minutes before the show




My Tiger My Timing
What are you looking forward to most at Festibelly?

We're looking forward to getting happily drunk on a nice sunny day in the English countryside. And playing obviously.

How is Festibelly different to any other festival this summer?

It's on a really nice scale - the gap between established bands and newer bands isn't too big and it feels like the line-up has been carefully thought through so it works as a whole rather than just being shoved together.


Will you be checking out any artists, if so who?
Always like to see O. Children and Man Like Me.


Is there anything special you have planned for your performance?
We'll be playing some songs from our new album, we're still recording it so this will be the first time anyone has heard them.




Lulu and The Lampshades

What are you looking forward to most at Festibelly?
I've never been before so I don't know what to expect. I like the fact that it's small, those are my favourite, and I've heard nothing but good things. Plus it's in a forest, perfect.

How is Festibelly different to any other festival this summer?
Can I answer after?


Will you be checking out any artists, if so who?
Johnny Flynn and Man Like Me are long time favourites, I'm looking forward to O’Children too.


Is there anything special you have planned for your performance?
We were recently listed as five feisty females so perhaps we'll put Dan in a wig and grow a new member.
