“Waldstock Festival UK”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Waldstock is an annual charity music festival held in the grounds of the Fighting Cocks Public House, Wendens Ambo, Essex.^[1] Waldstock is organised entirely by volunteers, many of them musicians themselves, and the bands who appear give their time totally free of charge.

Founding

The idea for Waldstock began after a previous event at the venue, organised by an independent third-party, was not given license to go ahead by the council in May 2010. A small committee of local musicians and music fans put the event together in just five weeks, and it was held on 19 and 20 June 2010.

The first festival received an excellent response from local people, as the local press reported; "Hundreds of music lovers attended the two day Waldstock charity music festival...they were treated to some of the finest bands in the area, including Dennis Stratton & Tommy Dunn, Supercasino, Another Storm, Aliceband, This Way Up, and The Wrinklies." ^[2]

Fundraising

Waldstock's primary aim apart from promoting local music and arts, is to raise money for local charitable causes.

In 2011 the principle charitable beneficiary was the emergency first response team, "MEDICS".^[3]

Waldstock also supported two other local, smaller, charitable causes in 2011.^[4]^[5]{{fails verification|date=August 2018}}

In 2010, the event raised £2500, donating £2000 to Carver Barracks’ Injured Soldiers’ Fund, and guitars (worth £500) to Uttlesford Youth Music Project, based at Fairycroft centre, Saffron Walden.^[6]{{dead link|date=December 2018}}{{fails verification|date=August 2018}}

Bands

Waldstock relies on the input and performances of local and regional bands who give their time and music freely. In 2011 the festival had a lineup of over 25 bands, including: Zocalo, Guardians of Andromeda, Ivan & The Wolves,^[7]{{fails verification|date=August 2018}} She Makes War,^[8]{{fails verification|date=August 2018}} The Pins,^[9]{{fails verification|date=August 2018}} The Strangerhood,^[10]{{fails verification|date=August 2018}} AlicebanD, and Gema Hadridge.
