Beatroots Returns This Saturday 28th of April 2012



Fellow Green Backyardians and newcomers this Saturday marks the second 2012 instalment of Beatroots.  The local music festival that everybody loves embarks on another day of fun, arts, music and hopefully sun.

This time we see the absence of founders Renny and Sophie Antonelli, so the management team are on ‘strict’ orders to make the day a success.  The best we can hope for is all of you lovely people turning up with friends and enjoying some local talent with dynamic sounds.
There is literally music for all ears with the likes of I Want a Treehouse tearing up the gardens grunge rock style, DJ Urb on the decks, reggae beats from Tallaweh, Piper playing funk and cool melodies and Andy Hughes the multi-instrumentalist.
Other activities include face painting, a raffle, children’s activities, a craft fair and much more.  Expect handmade home ware, jewellery & clothes, tiny tigers and teeny butterflies with the occasional spiderman and loads of prizes to be won.
Fresh food and beverages will be served all day, including savoury and sweet snacks and meals.

Donations aren’t compulsory, but whatever you give you get back with a great spring festival, all proceedings go to The Green Backyard helping to fund the project and assist with new developments.

Beatroots in April

April brings with it another festival instalment of Beatroots.  Local art, music and people coming together to enjoy the elements and the sounds.

After the debut 2012 March festival success, the management team are happy to announce the second instalment on the 28th of April.
The unusual warm March weather provided plenty of sunshine and good tunes from local musicians for those that attended the first festival.

Over £250 was made from the last event, which went towards the developments on the site.  We are interested in hearing from musicians that would like to play and share the good times, contact Sophie or Dom on info@thegreenbackyard.com, please attach a demo or web link too.
This date also marks the first Antonelli-less Beatroots, placing it in the hands of the management team, expect a few exhausted volunteers at the end of the day.
Food and soft drinks will be available on site, plus there will also be face painting, crafts and stalls plus more to come.
