We explore the thoughts of artists and music sharing. In today's digital age, discovering new music has become more accessible than ever due to online platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, and download services such as Beatport. While traditional methods of exploring music, such as visiting record shops, have diminished in popularity, the process of musical exploration remains significant and enriching, especially when one encounters a standout track. For performing artists, the quest for fresh music is a continuous endeavor, often regarded as equally important as the performance itself. This raises an interesting question: is it appropriate for artists to keep the details of their music sources confidential? This topic invites further discussion from some of the South West DJs and producers on the nature of music discovery in the modern landscape.

What the organisers say

Little Orchard Festival takes place in the beautiful Cornish countryside at Healeys Cyder Farm in Penhallow (Truro) from 9 – 11 September.  It’s a great way to end the festival season with music from some of the UK’s best Brit Pop Bands headlining the bill.


This year the Little Orchard Cider and Music Festival will see 90’s indie favourites Feeder and Kula Shaker take to the main stage for this charming Cornish party with Silent Disco, Barn Dancing, Traditional Country Games, BBC Introducing Stage, Zen Den, camping and glamping, plus a huge range of delicious ciders for the grown-ups to enjoy from across the UK. 


The line-up also includes lots of local acts and emerging indie / alternative bands with the 1970’s chart topping cider farmers band The Wurzels on the main stage and some late-night shenanigans with some very funky Grannies to complete that South West festive, Summer experience!

Healeys mix apples and imagination to make delicious food and drink. Deep in the heart of the Cornish countryside, they’re a family-run farm that’s been lovingly making award-winning cyders, wines, spirits, juices, preserves, and sauces for nearly 40 years. Whether it’s getting to the core of great flavour or thinking outside the box, they know what it takes to make apples special and they love welcoming visitors to the farm to discover the Healeys charm themselves.
