Hello, I'm just sending out a reminder that due to the nature of the festival site, this event does have limited capacity ... we will be selling only 2000 adult tickets - buy soon to avoid disapointment. Tickets purchased at the gate (if still available) will be more expensive.
So grab your tickets in advance from our website -
Backbeating Sounds presents: “Gypsy, Klezmer & Balkan Beats” featuring…
SHEELANAGIG Supported by the Backbeating Soundsystem
Friday 22 August 10pm-3am The Brasserie of the Royal Pier, Aberystwyth
“A massive hit on the festival scene who practically burst the marquee at the Trowbridge Festival this year” Venue Magazine "Here’s fun music that also makes for great listening - if you can stop yourself from dancing! Brilliant!" Wheaton Aston Festival “High energy and incredible musicality. Worth checking out.” The Living Tradition “Sheelanagig made several dazzling appearences. Each time their set drew more people in, spellbound them with beautiful arrangements then hit the accelerator.” Larmer Tree Festival “Dancefloor mayhem, and an atmosphere that was more party than concert. I can't wait to see them in action again.” Totnes Times “Sheelanagig delighted the audience with their barnstorming fusion of jazz, folk and world music.” The Morning Star
(There is an additional booking fee for the online bookings added by ticketweb & wegottickets. No additional fee for the tickets purchased by Andy's Records & Cafe Society; the booking fee is covered by the organisers).

Still open for bands!!! One of Wales’ biggest and newest events, encompassing 2 days, 4 stages, 60 bands, and the capacity for 3000 people! The festival is for charity, with proceeds going partly to help projects in the local community and partly to help young musicians in the area, with advertising, their equipment, etc. The ethos is very much that it is run like a community, so people helping each other out rather to help cut down the exchange of cash. We aim to work with ethical companies, aim to actively promote both welsh music, and environmental issues and solutions. Check it out at www. thesquarefestival. com And get in touch for further details. admin@backbeating.co.uk or theraffle@googlemail.com
