With a pronounced emphasis on provenance, Bude for Food announce home grown talent from Young Composer of the Year to add some spice to their food festival
As autumn rolls in, and harvest festivals abound; restaurateurs and local foodies fuelled by passion have organised a not-for-profit food festival with a difference. Unsatisfied with just bringing together masses of exceptional food and drink, the Bude for Food festival committee indulge their hedonistic side to bring an events program fuelled by freshly cut beats.
The evening of Saturday 20th September marks the second night of the Bude for Food festival and the marquee is set to be packed full as the venue for some seriously special live music to celebrate the big weekend.
Hailing from the depths of Cornwall, Freshly Squeezed are an eight piece funk fuelled behemoth with a penchant for filthy funk, jazzy breaks and a high-energy horn section. Famous for their outstanding musicianship; infectious, irrepressibly energetic performances; and filling the dance floors of England (and Cornwall!) with fun filled frenzy.
If their hip-swivelling basslines alone are not enough to make readers hungry for Bude’s brand new food fest, the festival are also proud to present the alter ego of Freshly Squeezed, whose debut performance will provide aural nourishment.
Introducing the almighty Antimatador
Vengeful vocals, tongue-twisting freestyle, heavy horns and a burning hot rhythm section, Antimatador will create something never heard before. Fusing hip-hop, funk, electronica, soul, rock and drum and bass, the South West based outfit deliver a nuclear explosion of high-energy vibes.
The double bill band are made up of some of Cornwall’s finest musicians who have played with the likes of Otis Redding, Madness, Beverley Knight and Joss Stone.
The band also features local ‘badcore horns’ boy Simon Dobson who has an array of awards under his belt including the prestigious ‘British Music Composer Of The Year’ (2012) bringing big band back for the modern era. Recently Dobson composed the score for the renovated iconic film The Battles of Coronel and Falkland Islands, which will be unveiled as part of the BFI's Gala Film Festival in October. He described the score as a "cinematic [work] inspired by the popular tradition of military brass, which takes the viewer on an exciting but respectful journey through the dramatic and dark events of the two battles with a suitably engaging and occasionally dissonant score."
