Shuttle Shuffle Festival

Shuttle Shuffle Festival

25-26 August, SORM Studios, Little Germany

“This year’s festival is going to be Bradford’s biggest party’!” said Tim Wilson, festival director.

And with thirty plus bands, three stages, music workshops every other hour, samba lessons, an outside area with craft stalls and interactive events, food and a children’s area, this weekend is going to rock.

Tattie Lexie and Tony Levy, both local singer songwriters, will be compering the various stages, adding personal humour as the festival proceeds.

“What we have found is that artists are wanting to come to Bradford to play the Shuttle Shuffle,” said Tim.

“We’re bloody well chuffed to bits to have The Seamonsters playing at this year’s festival. Hailing from Sheffield, and just off the back of playing The Isle Of Wight Festival, the all-girl six-piece will be playing in Bradford for the first time. Having numerous other UK festivals confirmed, such as Tramlines in July, they are excited to spread their indie glitter at Shuttle Shuffle and make some noise,” he said.

The line-up for this year’s festival is as

much about emerging talent as it is about established performers.

“You’ll see an eclectic mix of talent including an african drum workshop, graffiti artists, a DJ workshop, and performances by young adults with learning disabilities.”

“We have Bradford Punk legends The Negatives, the city’s first punk rock group. Formed in the summer of 1978, this hometown gig will be celebrating their 40th year as a band”, said Tim.

This year Shuttle Shuffle’s home is SORM Studios, located in Little Germany, Bradford. SORM works in the community, involving young people, as well as adults with learning disabilities, creating real work experience opportunities & social inclusion.

The festival offers involvement not only to the musicians and artists performing but also by encouraging everyone who attends to join in.

The festival is supporting The White Ribbon Campaign which aims to end male violence against women and create safer music events.
