Coming up fast!

ONE WEEK TO GO!!!!

Time to introduce the 5th and final band that will be playing this year.

JollyRoger
Cornish sea-punk folk band JollyRoger fall somewhere between the sound of The Dropkick Murphys and Levellers. Inspired by the sea and growing up in the pirate haven of Penzance, they use nautical metaphors and pirate history to speak out about mental health issues and also the better things in life, like drinking beer. JollyRoger explodes with energy on stage and are an eclectic mix of shanty vibes, humour, and Celtic punk.

Interesting article, worth a read and a ponder. Running any event has got a lot more expensive over the last few years but let's face it everything has food, rent, fuel you name it. One of the major costs is labour, festivals require a whole load of hard working people and not just for the 3 days when the bands are playing. We would support greater assistance from the Arts Council or other sources ( like a levy on stadium tickets) to keep festivals afloat. Festivals are a vital part in 'priming the pump' of the UK's music industry which is a major export and income generator for UK PLC.

Much of the focus has been on the struggles of small music venues, but boutique festivals are also facing huge threats.

This is an excellent community based and funded event to be involved in. So much going on in Dartmouth during the festival. Probably worth going just for the ice cream shop!

We love it.

These will sell out very quickly. Great bands and great beer.

Today is the day! Tickets go on sale for the 2024 Duloe Ale & Cider Festival at 5pm. For all the event info and to buy tickets go to the following link:

https://buytickets.at/duloealeciderfestival/1336306

Here's a bit of info whilst you wait for 5pm:
Entrance fee - £12 general admission. £2.50 for under 18's. You can purchase up to four tickets per booking. There is a transaction fee of £1.50 per booking.
Thanks to the very generous sponsorship of Cornish Orchards your entrance fee includes a glass and your first 'Cornish half'.
Event capacity is 800. Families and happy dogs are welcome.

We have an excellent line-up of music to entertain you - Vince Lee and the Big Combo, The Duskies, Ross Tucker, The Jolly Roger and Bow River. And a surprise guest or two!

We have been asked why the event is not free, as some others are. As a non-profit group, run by volunteers, we simply couldn't afford to put it on - 2023 running costs were just under £15,000.
Our main aims are to raise money to support local good causes and charities, as well as having a great time, and we rely on our brilliant sponsors to help offset costs. Last year the sponsorship enabled us to donate over £5000, which we are very proud of. We believe it is an excellent day out, and thank you for your continued support.

Here's to the 7th, we look forward to welcoming you at Duloe Recreation Ground.

Nice to know a bit of history behind some of the events we are involved in.

Get your tickets, if there are any left it is going to be great!

What’s the history behind Alstock?

Alstock Music Festival started in 2007 following the passing of Cornish Music Legend Al Hodge in July 2006.

Al’s son, Luke, along with a few of Al’s closest friends organised a one day music event to celebrate his life. The festival was held at Priory Park, Bodmin with all proceeds going to Al’s favourite charity, the RNLI.

This one off Music event was something Bodmin had never experienced before and was a huge success. Over a thousand people attended with bands, stage, PA, lighting and security all giving their time for free not only because it was a charitable event but for the fact Al was loved by so many people.

This festival had been such a success that Alstock Music Festival was now established and has become an annual event held on the last weekend in July.

17 years later and the festival has gone from strength to strength. Over 50 thousand pounds has been raised for both national and local charities and fittingly the Al Hodge Music Award along with £750 is presented to a winning student every year for recognition of their ability, effort and achievements.

Alstock has been used as a stepping stone for many young bands to establish themselves on the music scene as Al (a music teacher in later life) had a passion for encouraging young musicians to express themselves.

A 12hr festival with 2 stages allows many varied performances throughout the day with the likes of Good Old Fashioned Lover Boys / Riviera Dogs / Firekind & Imperial Leisure performing this year.

Alstock 2024 is being held on Saturday July 27th at Priory Park, Bodmin and it promises to be yet another amazing day / night with all profits going to local charities.

The Alstock Friday Tribute night (26th July) has already sold out and sees Lee Quinney as Elton John & Take a Chance on Us - Abba - playing inside the large marquee and the talented Bodmin College group B-Vokes opening up the evening performing a 30 minute slot starting at 7:30pm.

This marks the start of the Alstock festival weekend and has always been a fantastic night with an incredible atmosphere.....This year will be no different!

Alstock started out as a one off festival but has now grown to a well established musical event unique in the fact that all profits are given away to charity and run by an Alstock Team of friends that give up all their time for free because of the passion they have for this unique festival.
