- Many stalls with all different types of goods [clothes, art, hand crafted and jewelry]
The target audience can range from very young people to a lot older 'hippys', families and friends enjoy the day and night event. Different types of music such as indie/rock to reggae. The stalls have all sorts of things and all different genres.
It is funded by the local council how ever this year they pulled out and the event is not on, so this year they are asking for donations to help the festival be there next year.
Strawberry Fair is a free volunteer run community music, entertainments, arts and crafts fair.
Across the Fair, Strawberry Essence aims to make the site an altogether nicer, happier, more colourful place through static and more imaginative décor, and wandering entertainment.
So they basically want to give the area some big vibe and an exciting event.

kettles yard
It was created between 1958 and 1973 and was the home of Jim and Helen Ede.
From the website :
In the 1920s and 30s Jim had been a curator at the Tate Gallery in London. Thanks to his friendships with artists and other like-minded people, over the years he gathered a remarkable collection, including paintings by Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood, David Jones and Joan Miro, as well as sculptures by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Constantin Brancusi, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
At Kettle's Yard Jim carefully positioned these artworks alongside furniture, glass, ceramics and natural objects, with the aim of creating a harmonic whole. His vision was of a place that should not be
"an art gallery or museum, nor ... simply a collection of works of art reflecting my taste or the taste of a given period. It is, rather, a continuing way of life from these last fifty years, in which stray objects, stones, glass, pictures, sculpture, in light and in space, have been used to make manifest the underlying stability."
Kettle's Yard was originally conceived with students in mind. Jim kept 'open house' every afternoon of term, personally guiding visitors around his home. In 1966 he gave the house and its contents to the University of Cambridge. In 1970, three years before the Edes retired to Edinburgh, the house was extended, and an exhibition gallery added.
Today each afternoon (apart from Mondays) visitors can ring the bell and ask to look around.

Everything made at our workshop and studio is unique, meaning it will be only for you. Each and every piece of jewellery is crafted by hand using only recycled raw materials. This simple, natural process means that each piece is closely connected to its maker and the little individual marks and subtle movements of tools that are sometimes visible are what make our pieces so special.
At The Hairy Growler we specialise in the unique, the ‘one off’, the exclusive, and so, we love to carry out commissioned work. Do you have a lovely little design fluttering in your mind? Or, would you like us to adapt one of our own designs, to make it well and truly ‘you’? Whatever it may be, we will work closely with you, ensuring you’ll see the unique parts of yourself, in your finished piece. Prices for commissioned work obviously depend on design and materials, but if you reference the work within these pages, you’ll get a relevant indication of cost.verything made at our workshop and studio is unique, meaning it will be only for you.

orange sheet
arco iris samba
Their costumes are very colourful and bold, colours as bright red. Each top has a lprint of the groups logo. The preformance is a lot more lively and dancey, more exciting. I think they create a sense of band identity with there mix of people but all. They are all very up beat and smiles and dancing a long to one another to interact, they have a leader to with a whistle to get everyone together. They invole people by being right in the centre of some where busy and making it very up beat and likeable. They arrange themselves by grouping instermuents together and similar sounds.
the Thudbox - Bal a
Their wearing what ever they fancy wearing, quite dull colours so they dont stand out. They are a lot smaller group. They have a lot more relax approach to their performance. They create their band with their laid back, mellow approach. They just seem to smile and remember when to just start when interracting with one another. They smile and idrect looks towards people to feel like they are involed. They dont have to much of an order on stage. The lights are good as they highlight the people well with out being to powerful.

homework
I chose this video as I like the natural feel of a random band playing in the streets with friends and family. I think the preforamance is very goood and there is great feel from the men playing.
They have no costume, they are dressed in everyday which gives it more of an natural, fun feel. It has been filmed on a street in Philadelphia in Rittenhouse Square, the information on the video is:
Our Villanova/University of Arts Class takes it to the streets of Philadelphia in Rittenhouse Square. Led by Lee Higgins of England, we learned how to rock it out Brazillian style! What you see is our Samba Reggae, with an interlude into Samba Reggaeton! The beginning got cut off, doh! Still, it's great! Led by the fabulous Tim Thompson. Instruments - Repinique, Surdo, Caixa, Samba Whistle. Enjoy!
I think my expreince with samba is slightly like the video as it was natural just like the class,

Email for campaign
I am planning to send an email to the company 'Stagecoach' and 'Wippet' who are two big bus companys
Campaign
My campaign on facebook had 507 people join and a lot join who were not on my friends list and who agreed with the campaign, how ever I didnt have much success with the petition on at the bus stops, I only got 11 people to sign. I think the facebook group works more as it is when people can easily join with out having to stop doin their bussiness and facebook is when people are joining and talking.

Reflection from campaign day
How did your plan change and why?
It started off well how ever because of the weather there were getting less and less students being on the buses and coming off the buses in town which made it hard to get them to talk to.
How succesful was your campaign day?
It was not as succesful as I 1st wanted it to be, I was disspointed in the amount of signings.
What would you do differently?
I would of stayed in college and gone to the refrectory or bus stop out side college as there was most problem more students there then I thought there would be in town.
Next week I am going to get an online petition for my facebook group so it is easier to get to and people from all over the place can sign up.
