Now the dust has settled...


And... breath out.
September

What a crazy couple of months we've had here, apologies for the delay in the latest blog! Since Cowes (which incidentally we have just secured another 5 years on) Tiesto, Field Day and Red Bull X Fighters we went headfirst into the Tower of London's very own music festival: Tower Festival, situated in the moat (yes) of the Tower of London. A strange location you may think - but was treuly breathtaking to run a 10 day event in somewhere so gr
and and unique. Apart from a lot of carrying stock up and down stairs, it was a huge success - highlights being Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Nigel Kennedy and Womad. We ran the main bar and VIP lounge hosted by Continental Airways for the duration of the 10 day event.
Bestival

Whilst this was all going on, we ran all the bars at little event on the Isle of Wigh
t called Bestival. (!) It was our 6th year to deliver a total of fifteen bars on site, including the popular flag-ship cocktail bars The Black Dahlia and Pink Flamingo. Other bars included the Wonderland Inn with huge furry animals sitting on the bar, the Village Pub serving Bestiv-Ale, space-aged bars for Red Bull and Jim Beam and 90metres of bar to service the newly located main stage, among nine others to service the 45,000 ticket holders.


"It was a fantastic year for us at Bestival. It was so good to see such a great turnout and people enjoying themselves in the good weather despite the current climate. I think being on an island helps people to really escape – we certainly didn’t see people holding themselves back at the bars!"


Many thanks to all the team at Bestival - a challenging, but thoroughly enjoyable week. We are already formulating the master plan Bestival's 7th birthday in 2010
