The Bestival Bugle
[NB: This is still 2006 info. 2007 info will be here soon...]
Well blow me, The Bestival Bugle is back! Having documented the marvellous mayhem of the 2005 Bestival, the self-proclaimed "Proud Purveyors of Tittle-Tattle, Hokum and Bluff" will again be burning the candle from both ends in a bid to provide on-the-ground info from this year's event.
Last year two and a half-thousand copies were snapped up each day, and were so highly prized they haven't even started turning up on eBay! This year the daily print run is 5,000, which it is hoped will be sufficient to sate the eager scrum around our marvellous paperboys.
Expect interviews, news, rumours and reviews, plus all the half-truths and damned lies that helped make the Bugle so indispensable in 2005.
- FREE daily news-sheet issued Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Bestival.
- includes a daily competition for loads of Sunday Best goodies, plus info on some exclusive signing sessions.
- 5,000 copies daily. Available Friday morning on entry to site, and from midday Friday, Saturday and Sunday at various points within the campsite and arena, including the Bollywood Bar, Sunday Best shop and the Tiny Tea Tent.
In the words of its esteemed editor Toby Collard..."Last year was a whirlwind of late nights, noodles, failed emails, cocktails and Howard Marks. Quite how it all came together so well I really don't know, but the terrible pun generator has been dusted off and we're ready to go again"
