Oh, those Girls In Green Shoes have done it again and got involved with something that looks awesome. Girls In Green Shoes are some incredibly nice girls who do the band booking and artist liaison for the Blissfields Festival as well as writing many many live reviews (I completely recommend reading their blog on MySpace by the way). I think they’re lovely because after I posted about Blissfields being cancelled, they sent me an email saying they’d been following the blog and thanking me for my support. Aren’t they nice?

Anyway.

They’re now involved with Winchester Live Festival, a week long event in Winchester, Hampshire this October. Running from the 13th – 19th October it’s yet another chance to catch some of the best talent in Winchester and the surrounding area. It’s also going to involve some other brilliant acts such as Mumford & Sons, Peggy Sue, Art Brut and Emmy the Great. And you thought that festival season was ending…hah.

I’ve already bought my ticket for Emmy on the 14th, I’m keeping an eye on the Thursday as I support anything and everything Blissfields-based and I’m torn about what to do on the Saturday, do I go to The Tower or The Vault?

If you happen to live in Hampshire or any of the neighbouring counties I can’t recommend this enough.

You can buy tickets for any of the events here.
