"We are so excited to be hosting this festival" says Bob Harris, "it's an opportunity to give many new artists the chance to play in front of people who are as passionate about music as I am. I am very grateful to be immersed in music for a living. This is something I do not take lightly. My hope is that this festival becomes one big extension of the warmth and happiness I feel every time I sit in the studio and listen to a live session."
The festival is being organised in association with Goose Live Events on a site which offers facilities for both campers and day visitors, including permanent onsite shower and toilet facilities, and woodland clearings. "We are very lucky to be using this site" says Miles Myerscough-Harris, Under The Apple Tree’s Creative Director, "Its setting fully compliments the whole ethos of Under The Apple Tree and we have the benefit of working with an established team to help get the festival off to a good start."
Campsites will open at 2pm on Friday 27th May for weekend ticket holders and remain open until 12pm on Monday 30th May allowing all festival goers to take advantage of a leisurely departure.
The audience can take in performances from major artists in the 5,000 capacity main stage marquee, or head to the smaller on site pub – ‘The Tree Stump Inn’ - to enjoy pints of Whispering Bob ale and acoustic performances supported by AMA-UK.
UTAT Roots will also host a special songwriters' 'In-The-Round' stage, curated by Chris Difford where audiences can experience the techniques behind penning songs from some of the world’s greatest writers.
Chef Nigel Barden (as heard on the Simon Mayo show) will be providing his own artisan menu of meals and snacks for all festival-goers.
