After a few weeks rest and recuperation for all the crew, it has been decided that we simply cannot resist seeing all your smiling faces again in 2011. We are just awaiting a written confirmation or two from various managers and agents regarding some of the acts that we have lined up for next year. We are hopeful that we will have everything completed by Christmas but in the event that the holiday period causes some unforeseen delays we are pretty sure that we should be ready to go in early January with a full announcement of venue, dates (and no it’s not the same weekend as last year!!) and full line up.
It has not been decided yet if we will run a three day (Friday, Saturday and Sunday ) Firefest. We are all well aware that a three day show incurs a lot of extra expense (extra tickets, accommodation costs etc.) and at this point in time we are leaning strongly towards a return to a Friday and Saturday only, but that’s not to say we cannot be persuaded to extend that . We have a LOT of bands keen to play the show , so there is certainly no problem in running a 3 day , but our primary consideration as always is affordability for those attending. As you are no doubt aware we do this every year without any major commercial sponsorship, so if anybody interested in sponsoring any part of the show would like to step up we would be delighted to hear from you.
We’re not going to give the game away with regard to who is or who is not playing at this point in time, only to say that 2011 will be a year for a lot of ‘firsts’ ... in fact we looked at the potential line up earlier tonight and went WOW! As soon as we have the line up completed and fully confirmed we will announce it through the usual channels.
A brief update regarding the live DVDS and CDs recorded at Firefest 2010. Mixing is currently taking place on all the recorded material, and hopefully we should have the first recordings available in late January or early Feburary. The first planned release will be live album of Jimi Jamison’s stunning performance that had many (including some of the more seasoned journalists) raving it was “the best ever performance at any Firefest”. That alone is some compliment considering the amount of great performances we have seen over the years! As with all Firefest releases, numbers are strictly limited and we will have a pre-order facility available shortly so you can be SURE of grabbing yourself a copy of this MUST HAVE album. Details of how and where to pre order will be posted on www.thefirefest.com, Firefest Official on Facebook and www.rocktopia.co.uk . If you fancy treating yourself then here’s the perfect present for yourself .
More news as soon as we have it, in the meantime, wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a rocking 2011
Kieran, Bruce and the gang.
