Grapefest – Sheffield Music Extravaganza

• 7th Jul 2004

Sheffield, musically, is currently enjoying one of its healthiest periods for years and one of the best ways of gauging the strength of the scene at its grassroots level is the bi-annual Grapesfest. Twenty bands and solo artists battle it out over two days against the twin charms of extreme sunshine (possibly) and a Bar B Q manned by the thinking fellow's Oliver Reed, Tufty. At just £3 a day it's an comprehensive and cheap glimpse of Sheffield live music with rock, pop, indie, ska, metal, chilled beats and Sheffield's own eccentric style of singer/ songwriter all represented over the two days.
