More for Beach Break Live

Beach Break Live returns to its spiritual home of Cornwall this year and organisers will be ensuring that festival goers get to see all the area has to offer via local talent showcases and working closely with the local community. Beach Break Live will be championing a myriad of local musicians, including the reggae-funkatron sounds of Cornwalls' Backbeat Soundsystem, Devon bass-head Hidden Riddim and Newton Abbot's hotly tipped Alice Jemima who has already earned herself a strong following with plays on BBC Radio 1 and 6Music. Organisers have also set out to find the next big thing this year in the Battle to the Beach competition, which will give one lucky act the chance to perform on the first ever Fistral Beach Main Stage. Three finalists have already been picked, with Cumbria indie-rockers Missarioty, Hip Hop, Soul, Folk band Scott James & The Revolution and funk hip-hoppers Sounds Of Harlowe, who will all receive VIP passes to the festival to thrash it out in front of an industry judging panel.

With Newquay hosting this year's game-changing event, festival organisers are keen to give back to the surf-town and local community. Beach Break Live will be working with over 30 local businesses including the local council, Newquay BID and the town's clubs and pubs. 2013 will see an estimated 2 million pounds put back into the community via food, drink and accommodation which is all being provided by Newquay's businesses; even production staff have been sourced from Cornwall ensuring that not a penny is overlooked when giving back to the area. 

To get an idea of the scale of this years bash, Beach Break Live predicts that over 30,000 pasties will be eaten on-site, over 25,000 ice creams will be consumed and surfers will take to the waves a whopping 25,000 times!

Jane Hawkey, Fistral Beach Bar said: "Beach Break Live will be great for the town as it's happening within established premises, rather than out of town in a field. It's not just bars and clubs that will benefit either as people will be wanting a pasty, fish and chips, or a cup of coffee. We should welcome the festival with open arms."

Local Beach Breakers will be happy to hear that they can get half price tickets for the festival. Organisers are offering a 50% discount on Silver Tickets for anyone living in the Cornwall area – that's just £20 for the entire 4 days! Those with Sailors Card, Salt Card or Berties Card are also eligble for the discounted offer.
