On this weeks show we had, Cat Like Thief playing live in the studio and Suzie Metcalf - founder of Ravenstonedale Festival live on the phone. We also chatted to Better Left Alone about their new E.P, and we had a pre-recorded interview with Stephen from The Feud who told us that the band have been chosen to be played on all the Radio 1 shows for a week.
Cat Like Thief hail from Cumbria, they have been around for about two years and currently have an E.P available called "The Only Way".
The lads, Jordan, Phil and Paul told me of the difficulties of breaking out of your home county. "We are working hard to break through into neighbouring counties, we have played everywhere in Cumbria , but never outside!" says Jordan.
The lads tell me they are really keen on gigging all over the country, and would like venues and promoters to get in touch.
One thing they do find that helps, as Paul and Phil say, is the BBC Introducing shows "Its a great platform for bands, its a great experience". Aww, Thanks guys.
Suzie Metcalf founded The Ravenstonedale Festival four years ago, since then the festival has grown from strength to strength. This year the Festival based in Kirkby Lonsdale (Thats Cumbria), has doubled its capacity and with it gained extra stages and entertainments.
New for this year is a bigger, better main stage, a dance tent and a whole new stage. Suzie tells me there is also African drumming work shops, Graffiti artists and even a Bouncy castle and Bungee jump - i was sold on "Bouncy Castle".
The three day Festival, starting on the 15th June, will feature loads of local bands from around the North West and will also cater for those into their dance and drum n bass.
Tickets to the festival are on sale now here Ravenstonedale Festival.
