Fordstock Festival 2008 last updated : Wed 30th Apr 08
Fordstock is a small, friendly, one-day music festival held in a field, on the edge of the village of Harbertonford (between Totnes and Kingsbridge in South Devon) generating money for local community projects.
Expect music from 2pm till late, there are two stages: the Main Stage and the J & C Stage. Most of the performances are sourced from local talent and include blues (harmonica), rock, reggae, punk, pop, indie and trance.
This year's line-up includes Hey Molly, Illegitimate Sons of the King, Bert Miller and the Animal Folk, Strange Red Earth, Nicky Swann, Benny "Guitar" Carr and the Hot Rats, Toxic Waste Monkey, Willie and the Bandits, The Dharma Bums, Josie Lloyd, Matthew Board, Memo, The Alia Band, Jon Eliot, The Humanitarians, George Birch, Totnes School of Rock, DJ Katalyst, DJ Rogue , The Blagwhitey , DJ Camo , DJ Fact, DJ Outrage, DJ Pure-d and the MCs Delight, Steve-E-B, and MC Rhythmic.
There is often theatre and dance; always food (including home-made cakes and vegetarian options), a full bar, and stalls. This event attracts over 2000 visitors and the organisers now expect a similar turnout each year. The event usually opens from 1.30pm. IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
Parking takes time as access is not straightforward on narrow Devon roads in this small village. People are advised to try to share cars and be patient, or better still, use the organised transport service (including a shuttle bus running from the Rotherfold in Totnes from 10pm - 1am).
No dogs. No alcohol is allowed to be brought in as there is a bar on site.
