Once again the GYC are donning their shades packing their tent and preparing to smile all weeked long at the Best Boutique Festival in Europe! We will be covering the whole weekend from our special GYC tent in the idyllic Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight. Just like last year, if any of you lovely GYC girls and gals are heading over to the Garden Isle for the weekend get in touch and lets have a party! The festival this year is bigger and better than any previous Bestival with all the usual entertainment and some exotic twists. Tickets are sadly all sold out but we urge you to keep an eye on the bestival website over the coming weeks for details of next year's festival. So keep an eye on the GYC for exclusive photos and a full review of the whole weekend.
Bestival is an award winning 3 day boutique music festival set at Robin Hill - a beautiful leafy country park (a veritable Garden of Eden!) near Downend and Newport in the heart of the Isle of Wight.
The wonderful world of Bestival was born out of ten fun years of pioneering music events and record releases from Rob da Bank's Sunday Best empire. The BBC Radio 1 leftfield DJ had a dream to one day create his vision of how the modern day festival should be. Along with Creative Director and wife Josie da Bank and co founders / partners John and Ziggy from Get Involved that dream is now fulfilled. On a mission to change the face of independent festival culture, the fearless foursome are bringing some magic to the shores of the Solent and spreading the love worldwide.
It's Rob and Josie da Bank's creative vision that sets Bestival apart. Whilst the massive musical brain of Rob ensures the Bestival line-up is the most eclectic you'll ever experience, it's Josie's creative wand that casts its magic over Bestival land. From the most original boutique campsite experience, to the Bollywood Cocktail Bar, fancy dress en mass and even a Hidden Disco, it's this uniqueness that makes Bestival a wondrous world of discovery and adventure that will inspire peace, love and dancing not only in September but all year round... Haven't got your ticket for Bestival 2008, then do not worry as you can pitch a tent in your back garden lie back and listen to the latest release from Rob da Bank on Sunday Best, A-Z Bestival 2008! Here at GYC HQ we got our hands on a copy of the album ahead of its launch this Monday, 1st September and have been escaping to the best end of summer party here in the UK! “This new Bestival compilation is just the mental jukebox that exists in my head - some of my favourite ever records from Carl Craig, Human League and Aphex Twin balanced out with people I’ve been supporting like Micachu, Black Kids and Zombie Zombie. And the best bit is they’re all playing at our big crazy party!” The album perfectly takes you through the highs of the whole Bestival weekend, perfectly mixed and brilliantly produced to ensure that it is one hell of a soundtrack. It's hard not to close your eyes and imagine being stood in a field on a sunny day listening to the best live music surrounded by Bestival goers dressed in their Sunday Best. With an eclectic range of music from artists such as Aphex Twin, Human League and Foals as well as many others, this double CD really does deliver the goods!
Released on September 1st, A-Z Bestival 2008 is a must buy even if we do say so ourselves!
