West Buckland Festival

Sorry we have been a bit quiet this month but…We have been working hard on this year’s West Buckland Festival – it is going to be bigger and better than last year, with a contract signed with a ‘real’ International Star from the late 1970’s.

We have had interest from unsigned bands to play (see comment ). We haven’t got plans to extend the festival this year but if there is interest then maybe it is something the committee might consider  for next time. Please leave a comment either here or on the festival website if you have an opinion.

The text below is taken from The North Devon Journal.

“But as well as the bands, I produced and wrote for This Window, an avant-garde ‘cassette culture’ outfit.”

Now studying for a degree in music at Bristol University, Jake is still involved with The Window and gets regular airplay in Eastern Europe as well as appearing in a couple of Russian music magazines. Read more…

Jake Bright, who plays bass with Dastards, started his music career long before taking up the double bass at West Buckland School. Read more…

A pragmatic Jake said: “Composition is the avenue I want to go down, but if the band kicks off then that will definitely be the main focus of my career for the foreseeable future.” Read more…
