The New Succesful Music Festival For Devon- Bicton Fest 2014 & The Big Gig

The purpose of the Big Gig is to provide a huge party for John Govier who for the past 21 years has supported emergent and established musicians from the South West on his radio show for BBC Radio Devon. John has now retired from Radio and is now becoming an ambassador for South West Music.
The Festival is an opportunity for bands and artists who John has supported, to say a big thank you to him. Proceeds from the Festival are going to be reinvested in the local music business. Tickets will go towards supporting some of the South West?s brightest talent, so come along to the Big Gig and join in with this unique party celebrating the best of the South West music scene.

I Love this opportunity to showcase the amazing talents right at out doorstep, and to essentially give back to the supporting music industry and John Govier!
