Love @FirstTimersFest and all that they do!

I went to the bass workshop & festival last year & it was brilliant.

If you're nervous about learning to play an instrument, this is the best place to start trying 💜

All info about 2023's edition of the fest up on @getinherears now!

[Get In Her Ears @getinherears]

Overwhelmed by the amazing bands, volunteers, and crowd at First Timers Fest yesterday! We cant wait to see our lil seedling bands grow and bloom 🌸

Great to do something non-🌹 related once in a blue moon (I believe that's still allowed 👀) at the @FirstTimersFest watching my v.talented friend Sophie on the drums (for the 1st time!) with band Tiny Jean Pocket! They all did a switcheroo to the guitar & sang -multitalented!!👏

[Kate Crudgington @kate_crudge]

Thank you @FirstTimersFest for existing & for the best Sunday afternoon spent watching bands perform live together for the first time 🖤

Everyone was CUTE and PUNK af.

Dear Diary,

Today we released tickets to First Timers Fest. We haven't been able to put it on for a few years and, well, we have fifteen brand new bands playing and we're excited.

Yours, FTF team xoxo

First Timers band @breakuphaircut are releasing new music tomorrow and we couldn't be more excited!

[Reckless Yes @TheRecklessYes]

Today feels like a good day to play lots of @breakuphaircut 👀

We adore their debut EP (released through the much missed Hell Hath No Fury) & totally fell for Why Can't I Be Cool Enough To Move To Berlin? Anyone else love this?
