A competition for Island bands to play at the forthcoming Ribfest event in May is hotting up.
If you haven’t heard of Ribfest, it is the new one-night music event taking place as part of Ribex, the three day boat show Cowes.
Ribfest is being headlined by British folk hottie, Seth Lakeman, who we hear is planning to do some serious sightseeing around the Island when he’s here in May.
