We're really excited to let you all know that we're taking part in this year's Meltdown Festival.

A bandstand will be built inside the Royal Festival Hall in the Southbank Centre as part of the Meltdown Festival. Meltdown is curated this year by Richard Thompson who is a fan of Bandstand Busking and asked us to get involved.

We were pretty pleased to hear that we'd be able to put together the lineup for two Sunday's in June - the 13th and the 20th. Richard did ask us to mix in a bit of variety in to our lineups - and we took this as an exciting opportunity to bring something a bit different to the bandstand busking stage alongside some of the best examples of our usual folksy leanings.

All this fantastic music (and bit of spoken word) is free so be sure to keep those Sundays' clear.

I hope you are all as excited as we are. It's going to be great.
