Boxstock 2013 - The 5th Anniversary!

Posted by Roosterman on January 8, 2013 at 1:48pm

Yes really - the 5th Boxstock! Quite a feat when you consider what we do is very much still a niche hobby, despite Macca and everyone else jumping on the bandwagon!

This year will see Boxstock going back to its roots. A simple one day event aimed at catching up with freinds, enjoying and playing some homegrown music and sharing a few thoughts and ideas - what could be better than that?

The date: Saturday 26th October 2013

The Venue: The Musician, 42 Crafton Street West,  Leicester, LE1 2DE.

The daytime sessions will be free to all, with open mic sessions, trade stands, demos etc and workshops.

The evening gig promises to be a real treat and we already have 3 superb artists booked for your pleasure.

Firstly, after a storming debut at last years Boxstock open mic session, the legend that is VINYLHED,

from Hastings Old Town, we have the twangtastic KING SIZE SLIM, and from the USA (where else?) we bring you multi-instrumentalist JUSTIN JOHNSON - what a line up!

More info to follow.

Hope to see YOU there this year
