Strawberry fair.



http://www.strawberry-fair.org.uk/
Strawberry fair is normally held in June on the mid summer common, and many people always turn up, it is local to Cambridge but people from everywhere always turn up to take part in the party.
Strawberry fair normally has local bands playing or bands that arn't very famous and unsigned.
They also have many tents, beer tents, reggae tents, dance tents, gig tents.
Its also famous for being a arts fair with many stalls, from braiding hair to selling mushroom hats to legal high stalls.
The target audience is normally anyone of any age that's into music and having a good time. You always get mothers with there with there children to 40 year olds with there beer.
You normally see the "hippys" with dread locks and hand knitted cardigans.
The festival is normally funded by the local conical, however i has been cancelled this year, so they will try there hardiest to keep it gong for next year.
Strawberry's fair aim is to create a sense of creative unity, they want the festival to be a happy safe place to be.
They want there entertainment to be exciting and different with everything colourful and imaginative.
http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/Glastonbury is held every June on the 23rd to the 27th.
it is held just outside a Glastonbury town on a massive farm called worthy farm, which a mostly a cow farm. It stared in the 1970's and was only a pound to get in, with free milk. The festival is run by Michael Eavis, and his daughter.



Every year Glastonbury havee a diffident line-up of music, it would be nearly impossible to list them all on here.
They have loads of small stages that will have comedian's and small singing artists they even have poem slams in the smaller tents.
The two main stages are the pyramid stage and the other stage, which is where the bigger more famous acts and bands will preform, mostly bands though.
They also have a stage for the acoustic music and dance stages.
Some of the main people and bands playing at Glastonbury 2010 are, Dizzee Rascal, Jack Johnson, Hot chip. La roux, Kate Nash and so on.
The target audience now days it much bigger then what is was when it started out in 1970, it was Micheal's idea to hold the event because of his inspiration from other festivals. IT was held the day after Jimi Hendrix died and only 1,500 people attended, back the it would of been hippys that would have been in to music simpler to Jimi Hendrix, the crowd would have been much smaller and tight knitted.
As the festival grew and got in to the 2 thousands, 100, 000 people attended. The festival was getting big by now. The audience started to change and music got much more wider, they had bands such as chemical brothers and David bowie.
By 2009 the festival was massive, 134, 000 people attended and 6,000 Sunday passes. Of course Glastonbury has caravan camping and and camping sites. By the 2 thousands they became more f a culture festival and i artist festival, they have Fields for green peace where everyone lives in tepees and they show you them carving wood and living natural. The areas are all very different and appeal to a wide range of people. By now people form around the world attend Glastonbury because of how famous it is. The artists and bands got much bigger and any kind of people will go for the experience

Risk assessment.
Its important to do a risk assessment if we are going outside the college for our performance because if this arnt carried out the college could get sued.
We need to do a register to make sure that none is missing from the group.
We are preforming in Cambridge city center with big drums, o we need to make sure that these are drove there in blacks van instead of carrying them.
When we are using the big drums we need to make sure that they are put on safely to insure that there is no injuries.
Dress rehersal.

The dress rehersal went really well, yesterday we wore them while we did our samba production, We wore are masks and our tshirts that we made.
The outfits i thought were really good :) Everyone felt really comftable, And i think they were really succesful, the boys liked the masks and so did all he girls.
If we could change anything we would get bigger masks for the boys cos there to small.
I think we would also print more on the outfits, if we had more time we would have printed much neater.

The other week we looked at mask prices because we want to wear masks to do our samba proformance, we found cheap full masks, for 60p, but for the girls we want half masks which cost alot more, the cheapist ones we found were £1.20 and for 13 it comes to 24 pound, and we only have a buget of 50 pound, the boys only came to 18 pound, with there being 6 boys.
So we only have 18 pounds left.

Cambridge research report.
The two groups create a sense of band identity by wearing the same logos on there jumpers, they all look like there part of the band.
The different band member interact with each other by having a band leader, the leader makes different jesters to show who should do what.
The band encourages the audience to get involved by waving there arms in the air and dancing around they keep the mood cheery and it makes the audience want to dance.
The bands arrange them selves on stage by staying close together. In the first video the big drums go to the back however the second one they are at the front.
The first video is filmed outside so the lighting is obviously natural, there performance is outside and they haven't used many props however they have got very funky consumes, they have dressed how they want to and because they have done it outside it makes the walkers by interested and want to stop and look.
The second video is filmed on a stage inside, so the lighting is dimmed however they have lights shining down on the people preforming, they have pretty much dressed in there normal clothes and are not wearing jumpers or t-shirts to show who they are.

I will tell them about how my campaign is to make people to realise that music can change the world. and that it brings us closer together.
My tactics are to bring danny and make him play which will attract attention.
