Rachel Day, Live Events Manager, said:
“There is such a huge wealth of creative talent on this little Island, and we’ve had the privilege of working with inspirational music makers throughout the year at our regular showcase nights, Acoustic Originals, and our first indoor music festival, Kashmir Fringe. Kashmir Café at the Isle of Wight Festival is the jewel in our crown and we look forward to it all year! This year our line-up includes some Kashmir favourites, a few new faces and our usual mix of amazing Isle of Wight acts and up and coming talent from further afield – as well as activities with professional artists in our relaxing garden and, as day turns to night, beautiful projections from the imagination of talented film-maker, Paul Windridge. If you’re planning to attend the festival this year, pop into Kashmir Café, sample our ale, listen to some great live music and soak up the atmosphere – you’ll be glad you did.”
Robert Miles, Quay Arts Artistic Director commented:
“We really appreciate this fantastic opportunity to showcase Isle of Wight excellence. Quay Arts is such an asset to the Isle of Wight and Kashmir Café provides the perfect platform to bring to a wider audience a taste of our diverse offer. This year I think we’ve really excelled ourselves, offering the great music and hospitality for which we’ve become renowned, adding to the mix creative film projections and high profile interactive arts. And thanks to our incredible team of Kashmir volunteers, the money we raise from our beautiful real ale bar is invested in the charity to continue our activity throughout the year.”
Keep up to date with the latest line-up announcements on Quay Arts’ website. The Isle of Wight Festival is at Seaclose Park in Newport on the 12th to 15th June 2014 and Kashmir Café can be found in the arboretum between the Main Arena and the Big Top.
