FESTIVAL favourites The Cuban Brothers are to top the bill for the Friday night of the New Forest’s Festibelly.

Born of the loins of 1970s Havana, nurtured on a diet of soulful, sexy tunes and inspired by Cuban historical fact and mythology, their fresh approach to live entertainment whips up a frenzy at every gig.

Their performances combine music, riotous comedy and sensational dancing.

Reggae DJ icon David Rodigan is joined on the dub-themed Saturday afternoon by Bristol collective Jus Now and ’Belly favourites Reggae Roast.

Troubadours The weekend will see performances by the hotly tipped Femme and Mighty Oaks and welcomes back raucous folk troubadours Skinny Lister, electronic-soul trio Dems and beatbox champion Reeps One.

Other names to watch out for include Amber Run, Mausi, Wild Smiles, Ginger & The Ghost, Laurel, The Death Of Pop and Lexy & The Kill.

The creme de la creme of untapped south coast talent, who featured over Festibelly’s series of ‘local’ shows during April and May, include The Plastic Dots, The Golden Age, Luke Ferre, Damn Beats and Princess Slayer.

Closing the festival main stage on Saturday night, Hudson Taylor follow in the steps of Festibelly’s previous breakthrough acts, including Bastille, Willie Moon, Ghostpoet and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, to name but a few.

This promises to be one of the last chances to catch this band in an intimate festival setting.

Following the main stage both nights, the Silent Disco will see Kengo (The Cuban Brothers), Late Night Tales DJs, Cat Lovers DJs and winners of Amazing Radio’s DJ competition playing until early morning.

Now in its sixth year, Festibelly has established itself as one of the UK’s most charming, intimate and grassroots festivals.

It takes place at Undershore in Lymington on July 11 and 12.
