A look back at all the stars from Festivals Past..

Here you can take a look back at some of the top artists who featured at each festival - a fabulous star-cast from our wonderful world of organs and keyboards. You can also download example programmes for three events each year during 2010 - 2011 and 2012. If you haven't joined us before this should show you what a spectacular "cram-packed-full" weeks entertainment programme we provide at every single event. With a main theatre programme running from 9.30am-11.30pm, and a late night bar running even later - in addition you will find a full "dealers diary" of events held in the many exhibitions rooms that are part of the event. No other festival comes close to offering such a comprehensive range on concerts, teach-ins, seminars, dancing, late night jams, afternoon informal shows, morning chat's dealers diary events and much more. If you have joined us before, this section is also a chance to take trip down memory lane. We also provide a simple list of artists names for the earlier events going right back to the Caister events.

CAISTER OCTOBER EXTRAVAGANZA
1st- 8th October 2004 SOLD OUT

We are pleased to report that  the Caister October festival was a complete sell out with a great time had by  pretty much all! We always try & offer unmatchable value & ensure some of the world's very best artist's are part of the bill. This year in addition to bubbly Bill Horn (& his famous American masterclass!) who flew in especially for us, we also welcomed two other very rare international artists in Robert Barta (playing Bohm) & Mark Whale (on Wersi) who both received a standing ovation from Cavalcadians.

The list of best of“good ol Brits”. that joined us is too long to list (as usual it was like a who’s who of the best & most entertaining) & they also excelled themselves including impromptu duets with Rosalie Birchmore’s late night at the Bull & Bush being one of many fun “jam nights” seeing her joined by Jean Martyn & Steve Lowdell to mention just two! In the main Theatre we were also treated to some unexpected additions to the polished evening concerts with great duets from Brian Sharp & Paul Carmen, Andrew Nix & Chris Powell & Keyklix plus Peter Hayward for a last night trio. All this was captured on the two giant projector screens bringing Cavalcadians closer to the action! How we can top this for the 20th anniversary celebrations next year is hard to say, but we are now working to ensure we do exactly that

Who you missed!
