Thanks to Suzanne and Alan for their take on what to look out for at the Isle of Wight festival. Ed
We’re pleased to see a good Island input into this year’s Isle of Wight Festival.
One of the local Newport schools is opening an old fashioned sweet shop and the Island churches are having their usual area for relaxation and tea.
Kashmir Cafe
For those who like a stronger drink Quay Arts have the Kashmir Cafe for a fifth year at the Isle of Wight Festival, which they promote as “a sanctuary from the mainstream, enriching your festival experience with original music performed by the finest established local acts and emerging artists from the Island and beyond.”
Kashmir Cafe will be housed in a beautiful authentic Indian tent and will be serving Isle of Wight real ales, you will be glad you found them.
Jake Morley on the Strongbow stage
Also for BBC fans the Strongbow stage, will feature ‘BBC Introducing 2012’ winners Citizen, and BBC 6 Music’s favourite guitar-picking master Jake Morley.
National radio support has come for Jake from Dermot O’Leary, Janice Long and Jo Whiley at Radio 2, Chris Hawkins and Tom Robinson at 6Music and more than 40 UK local radio stations.
A summer full of festivals precedes Jake’s first full UK tour that starts in mid-September.
