please show your support

Tis gonna be kinda awesome

I think I'll be down for this one.

a lot of people from within Cov's music community have donated their services generously free of charge to avoid this having an admission price

our aim is to expand the local element of Godiva Festival

personally i think it ties in nicely with Godiva, this on the Friday, Whatever Stage on the Saturday

there is a bar of course

We've kindly been given what we asked for and it's a great opportunity to cement this new addition to the Godiva festival for future years. It needs to support of the whole community so get involved! If you've not been in B2 yet it's probably one of the best venues in the city and with the PA that's going in there it's gonna sound immense.

glad to hear this is happening & giving more local bands a chance to be apart of it. great line-up too. am more likely to attend this than the fest itself tbh!

cheers mate, thats the idea dude!

please come along

Just curious but what does this go against on the Friday at Godiva? Google seems like too far away right now.

the 80's night so the christians, kid creole, abc etc

That's ok then, if it was against Ash I was going to declare you suck my fat one. As this is not the case I'll be there.

haha sound!

you seriously think Mofo would have worked through a free Ash festival slot in his own backyard?

Yes, he's a mug like that.

it seems you know him well

We now have our presence on the main Godiva Festival web site, with artist bio's, event timings and links to music

ERRRR !

this is full steam ahead now, fair play to CV One who have had to pull a number of strings with the powers that be to ensure the outdoor bit goes ahead.

really looking forward to it, some awesome bands who i have only just been turned on to.

if you haven't spread the love already please do so, a succesful event this year will open many doors for many local bands at next years Godiva Festival

F.A.O. Reubens Cane

If England are playing in the Quarter Finals that day, you will need another bass player

heh, thats not the kind of public backing we had in mind mate

yup, unfortunately the date is the date and obviously the way the footie pans outs will no doubt affect numbers during 7:30 - 9:15 (not everyone likes football so we still envisage a crowd during the match) and also why we had a few initial issues with the authorities with the outdoor bit in a city centre etc which CV One have since resolved.

but England will propbably screw up and finish the group 2nd or not reach the qtr's at all....

the whole thing gets moved indoors only at 9:15pm (final whistle) at which stage the capacity is set at 280 people

good work with this rig - will def put in an appearance

cheers man


bring a crew, free gig, ace bands, beer and hopefully sunshine x

two weeks tomorrow!

obviously no clash with the England match now for the Quarters so absolutely no need to miss this Fringe event.

a great couple of weekends of local music for July with about 60 local bands performing on local stages across two weekends....

This is the down side of winning the Godiva unsigned thing. I fear if England do get to the quarters then the crowd may be seriously diminished. . . . I can't even be sure the whole band will be there. . . our stage time is 2:30pm, we have a 30min slot, kick off at 3pm. I'm sure they wont mind if we cut our set short by 5mins so we can get to a tv.

You'll be fine Dan. I'm sure they'll whack a tele backstage!

I hope so, I'm pretty sure I haven't earned the right to throw a diva tantrum.
