A Greener Festival to release new double CD
'Festival Harvest' to be released on 1 June
04 May 2010
‘Festival Harvest’ will be released as a limited edition double CD and will carry the IG (Industry Green) mark,
the award from cross music industry climate change initiative Julies Bicycle which identifies a product as committed to reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. It will also be available to download.
The album, manufactured and produced by Disc
Manufacturing Services, will dispense with the plastic jewel case and will be sold only in 100% card sleeves and as a download.
Featured bands include the recently crowned Glastonbury Festival Emerging Talent Competition winners Ellen
And The Escapades, UK Festival Awards critic nominees Yearner Babies, the outstanding four piece
all women group of songsters from Plymouth The Orkid, the brilliant and innovative urban act from London
Lykez, Doncaster’s hot new talent The Beaus along with outstanding contributions from
Mayhew and A Band Called Quinn, both from Scotland.
A Greener Festival co-founder Ben Challis who compiled the album
said “Working with six of the top music festivals and two regional music initiatives really unearthed some magical
talent. It is an added bonus for us that they all have agreed to support green festivals and the fight against climate change.”
Asked about the bands on the album, producer Luke Westbury said “We asked everyone
to put forward their top tips – in any genre – and it was interesting to see that some of the acts like Lincoln’s
Changing Horses, Kent’s Tom Williams And The Boat and Leeds based Tiger Shadow were tipped by two or more different
festivals. Regional music groups Music South West and Doncaster Music Week both put forward some fantastic choices and
the festivals’ choices, including Glastonbury, T-in-the-Park and City Showcase, really helped us to cover the length
and breadth of Britain in our search for the best new talent. Many of the acts will be playing live at Festivals across the
Britain this year.”
The double album features 28 acts – representing the 28 week UK festival season
that runs from the 5th March (Cwlym Celtaidd, Porthcawl) to the 19th September
(Alchemy Festival, Lincolnshire).
‘Festival Harvest’ will be officially launched
at the Great Escape festival and music convention in Brighton on the 14 May
before it is released on 1 June.
