We hope you're all enjoying the gorgeous summer weather (and keeping cool).
Now we're heading fast towards August, can you believe there's less than 9 weeks to go until Suckley Festival?! 🎉
Over the coming weeks, we'll be introducing you to some of the fantastic musicians you can enjoy on September 19th. You can get to know them a little better with our 'Meet the Musician' spotlight.
First up are Bright Side of the Spoon who we're delighted to have back with us again this year.
Over to Chris, who kindly shared these fun insights:
Q: If your band had a soundtrack for a perfect summer's day, what would be the first song on it?
A: Probably Sunny Afternoon by the Kinks.
Q: What's the most memorable thing that's ever happened to you at a gig?
A: We did a gig for a military event, secretly learned their "song", then got an amazing reaction to it when we performed it, quite emotional.
Q: If you could share the stage with any artist, past or present, who would it be?
A: Personally, Freddie Mercury, probably some old school rockers, like AC/DC for Dave and Pattie; not sure about our drummer, he has a wide range of tastes.
Q: What can festival-goers expect when they come to see Bright Side of the Spoon at Suckley this year?
A: Hopefully an entertaining hour, a wide range of songs from different genres, and leave you with a smile on your faces.
Q: Complete the sentence: "The best thing about playing live is..."
A: ...seeing the audience having fun.
