MEET THE TEAM
Stage Manager - Otis
From being the Time Out youth stage in the 2010s, to providing slots for youth bands in 2022 & 2023, this stage has a long history of providing opportunities for upcoming acts as well as laying the foundations for youth involvement at KMF. This year, we are proud to welcome the most exciting acts from the southwest, as well as some unearthed talents from our very own backyard.
Our good friends at Bristol Water are sponsoring the Abbey Stage. Here all bands will be supporting Bristol Waters #EveryDripEveryDrop Campaign. Si Wilkes, Bristol Water’s Community Engagement Lead said “We’re proud to be returning to the Keynsham Music Festival with our Water Bar this year, and even more delighted to be sponsoring the Abbey Stage.”
“Our Water Bar will help keep festival goers hydrated, and support the festival’s aim to reduce the use of single use plastics, minimising environmental harm. We’ll also be talking to people about water usage and what we can all do to protect this precious resource.”
The Abbey Stage has served as an introduction to many new faces at KMF, including Seb Bailey & James McPhee. This year the stage is managed by Otis Knight.
"As a local growing up in Bath, these events have shaped me as a person, influencing my goals and aspirations. It's a passion and a pleasure of mine to help bring these experiences to life.
I am thrilled to be representing Keynsham Music Festival as the Manager for The Abbey stage this year. It's an honour to be on this journey with such a talented and diverse team, not to mention the fantastic eclectic lineup of acts we have in store for all of you. With brilliant bands like 'Young Martyrs' and 'Adult Leisure' The Abbey stage is going to have some unforgettable energy!
From new bands to well-known artists, this year's festival is not one to miss!
A massive thank you to our friends and sponsor at Bristol Water for making events like this possible in today's economy. And keeping us all hydrated of course!”
