Not on a stage this year? How about taking a spot at The Hoppers Busk Stop down in West Street? Just fill in the form below, and if we can squeeze you in we’ll come back with a time to attend.

PLEASE NOTE: This is literally what it says – a busking platform. There will be a curator there to manage the area, and platform for you to stand on. Amplified music is welcomed and we hope to have a four way available to provide charge for amps, although we are assuming you’ll bring your own buskers PA or simply play unplugged in the true tradition of hopping families who made their own entertainment. Paper and comb, acoustic guitar, plug in some keys and sing-along or give us a rousing chorus accompanied by accordion, we’ll welcome applications from all (we even had someone making instruments out of vegetables at one point in the past evidently).
