Music and Street Theatre Over the three days of the Festival there will be a variety of entertainment from music to street theatre to entertain you while relaxing within the beautiful surrounds of Montpellier Gardens.

Just a few of the groups who will be on hand are listed below.

Festival After Work Live music from local bands and delicious regional food, real ales, cider and champagne will make this Cheltenham’s most unique night out. Join friends, family and work colleagues for a relaxing night under the stars. There’ll be a hog roast from Glamorgan Vale, the Wessex Pantry will be serving up game pies, Rogan Josh will be offering some of the best Chicken Bhuna, why not wash this down with wine from Chile or the English vineyards of Three Choirs and Lulham Court. One night won’t be enough, enjoy the festival during the day and join us on Friday and Saturday evenings until 7pm for the best night going.

Friday 19th June Minor Swing Taking you on a journey through Jazz, playing hot club swing, Bebop or the mellow tones of cool Blues & Bossa, this compelling duo will captivate you with their unique sound. www.minorswing.info

Anything Goes Jazz, Blues, Dance, Swing. The band was a hit at the 2008 Festival with great music and excellent vocals by Linda Morris with a repertoire of songs that will have you dancing.

Saturday 20th June Professor Nohair and the Wiglifters The Professor is a sensational fast fingered, hot Boogie Woogie piano player, so if you like hot fingered Boogie Woogie and you like your jazz to swing then join Professor Nohair and the Wiglifters for a barnstorming afternoon you will never forget! www.profnohair.com

Silver Campervan If ever there was a local Gloucestershire act whose music epitomised a warm summer evening it’s Silver Campervan. Acoustic Indie/ Folk three piece. Sweet harmonies, fiddly guitar,

sensitive lyrics and Amy Gardner’s beautiful vocals pretty much sums up these guys (an gal).

A highlight at last year’s festival this is a local band not to be missed. www.longtrainride.co.uk

Street Theatre Lady Christobel and Her Butler Britain’s most rejected aristocrat, Lady Christobel bubbles her way from pillar to post, hobnobbing with her public.

A derelict dowager, her appearance and joie de vivre create astonishment and mirth. Enduring these less-thanroyal walkabouts is her trusty butler, a dilapidated, lugubrious old retainer whose cutting asides undermine Lady Christobel’s fond fancies.

Sunday 21st June The Cosmic Sausages With a repertoire of hundreds of songs, melodies and theme tunes, taking their audience on a madcap musical tour of the world, meeting up with James Bond, Serge Gainsbourg, the Mafia, deranged cowboys, faith-healers, Cossacks and overacting pop-stars along the way.

Appearing first as a gentle folk band and armed only with acoustic instruments, close harmonies and a shared vision of the surreal, the Cosmic Sausages ambush their audience with a sustained barrage of pop classics, mixing theatre, circus, slapstick, competitions, crowd participation and insane walkabouts

Street Theatre Fairly Fresh Fish Co See the prawns dancing and the Octopus come to life whilst witnessing stirrings in the jellied eel jar and a worrying seafood smoothie…

The Waiters Mesdames et Messieurs, the waiters are here to serve you.

They are trained to the highest standard to wait on you and make you feel special. Nothing is too much trouble. A click of the fingers and they will be there, at once. They have all the ingredients for that special occasion.
