We’ve had tremendous support over the past few months, and we thank everybody who’s bought tickets and shown their love for our small festival. We know it’s been a tough summer for a lot of festivals, and what’s important for us is that we take this step in 2011, so we can look at coming back in 2012 even more triumphantly. Thanks to everybody involved with the festival, and we hope to see you all next year.
All the best, team Firefly

For those of you who haven’t joined us at Firefly before… here’s something special just for you. An introduction to the tucked-away world of Firefly made by Tim O’Leary, Sophie Powell, Moira Lam and Zach Ellams of 4AM Shorts. Love from all of us at the festival.
Acclaimed English songwriter and voice of articulate, noughties youth Sam Duckworth aka Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly is now confirmed to play the sophomore year of Firefly Festival, joined by acts including Morning Parade, The Anomalies, Kyla La Grange and the Ivor Novello nominated Patch Williams, they will perform beside a host of local artists, festival favorites and as yet announced DJ’s.
Get Cape’s debut album, The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager, is best described as an indie/rock fusion that made the top albums of 2006 lists of both Q and NME magazines, led by the sing-a-long angst tracks ‘War Of The Worlds’, ‘I Spy’ and the album’s title “Part 2” track. In October 2006, he performed as part of the BBC Electric Proms before going on to tour Britian’s, and some of the worlds, biggest festivals including Oxygen, Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds Festivals and SXSW, as well as earning an NME Award nomination for Best Solo Artist.
Held in the small forest clearing behind Elton Hall, near the town of Ludlow, Firefly is now established as a glorious small festival in its own right while proudly maintaining the original intimacy of those early, humble campfires, with enchanting woods, valleys and a natural amphitheater. Firefly takes great pride in hosting a sophisticated weekend of wonderment and frivolity, with both the expected and very unexpected!
Tickets are available now from www.fireflyfestival.co.uk at £55.00 for an adult weekend camping ticket, ages 14+.
