Nozstock The Hidden Valley | 10 stages - 350 acts - 1 big family. 💖
18th - 21st July 2024 🎪
Independent, eclectic, family friendly and host to some bass thumpin' rave sheds. Nozstock caters for festival goers of all types, from the veteran festival aficionado through to those newly affected by the festival bug. It has evolved from a gathering of 50 friends into an intimate musical odyssey joining the dots between pop, ska, folk, funk, soul, indie, drum’n’bass, psytrance, house and a whole lot more. It is now firmly established as one of the country’s leading boutique festivals. 

The Orchard Stage is set at the foot of a natural arena on the side of the gently sloping valley. Alongside the farmhouse is the Garden Stage, which provides a more eclectic lineup, turning electronic by sundown whilst a converted cowshed, the Cubicles, pushes out sub-thumping bass and dubstep through to the early hours.

The festival is truly home-grown and hand-made – quite literally in fact, with a small army of grass roots supporters helping to create the wonderfully themed environment each summer. Nozstock is the quintessentially British festival – a little bit eccentric, a lot of fun, full of wonder, enchantment… and a touch of magic.
 
"A rural slice of English eccentricity" - Russell Howard

“Nozstock is the best festival of its size in the UK” - Phill Jupitus and The Blockheads

Having carved a distinct niche marrying psychedelic blues and symphonic harmonies, Tail Feather have a strongly rooted reputation for delivering head spinning shows and captivating melodies.

Described as bringing together “nostalgia and soul” by The 405, Tail Feather’s cool West Coast attitude and timeless feel has earned them supports with the likes of Blossoms, White Denim, Wolf Alice and Fun Lovin’ Criminals amongst others.

The release of their new 4 Track EP ‘Mother Nature’ (out 7th October) is undeniably their strongest and most concentrated effort to date. Followed by a full UK Headline Tour, 2016 is set to be a breakthrough year for one of the most exciting new bands out there.

"Our favourite new band." ­ Music Week

"Tail Feather take things into altogether more sultry territory, with their bourbon­soaked blues rock bringing to mind the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Lynyrd Skynyrd.'' Kerrang

"Take the Allman Brothers, put Ray Manzarek on keyboards and layer the whole gumbo with CSN&Y style vocals; then play psychedelic tinged West Coast Rock." 247

"Thumping, catchy, and sun­glazed ­ Tail Feather bring nostalgia and soul together for a 70s indebted experience." ­ The 405

"The screeching guitars and rolling melody smell of leather, sheepskin, beards and matured bourbon.” ­ Art Rocker, Single of the Week

This is the Soundcloud page for Holly McIntosh, the Bristol-based Bass player.

Brought up in a musical household, Holly began playing bass guitar at the age of eleven, and by the age of fifteen was playing in a number of different musical settings. By the time she began studying music at Anglia Ruskin University in 2005, she had already gained a good deal of experience in a number of different environments - recording, live gigs playing originals and covers, plus performing at functions and as part of an orchestra for musical theatre productions.

Her personal style incorporates a wide range of elements soaked up from some of her favourite music. She has a knack for creating bouncy, slinky lines that recall the classic work of James Jamerson and Willie Weeks (both key influences), whilst also enjoying the cerebral, growly energy of progressive rock players such as Chris Squire and Hugh Hopper. There's also a few wild cards in this already commendable set of influences, including Tina Weymouth, Sting, Rick Danko and Colin Moulding (to name but a few...).

Her pet preferences aside, Holly is a well-rounded, open-minded and versatile musician, who is comfortable playing in a whole range of styles. Equally at home in the studio as she is on stage, she possesses a keen ear, impressive chops, but most of all, a sensitive and enthusiastic approach to any project that she happens to be involved in. Adaptable and always eager to learn new things, Holly is a wholly reliable team player with a highly professional, positive attitude.
