All aboard the Buskers’ Bus!

 

Tramlines 2011 is just around the corner and this year, people can travel around the ever expanding festival site in style - serenaded by some of Festival’s hottest bands.

 

After a resounding success last year, the Buskers' Bus is back. As with all things Tramlines, this year the Buskers’ Bus is bigger and better.

 

Two double decker buses will take revellers around the festival, stopping at key venue destinations, all of course, for free.

 

Lee Mullin, Buskers’ Bus Manager said : “Last year the Bromheads curated Buskers' Bus was the highlight of many people's weekend, travelling round the city whilst being entertained by Sheffield's biggest artists. The Buskers’ Bus connects the peripheral venues with the city centre, making sure festival goers can take in the whole Tramlines site. This year we’ve pulled out all the stops. Two double deckers, national artists as well as home grown talent, secret sets, sing-alongs and much, much more.”

 

'The Milestone Blues and Ale Bus' starts at the Devonshire Cat on Wellington Street en route to Kelham Island. The route will feature bands like Pete David and the Payroll Union, Low Duo and Risky Heroes.

 

'The Steelworks-VOICE Buskers' Bus' will cover Broomhill, Hunters Bar and the Train Station and includes Elephant Keys, Mothers Ruin, and Skint and Demoralised.

 

Both buses run a 20-minute circuit starting at the Devonshire Cat 11am-10pm Saturday and Sunday. The routes have been sponsored by The Milestone, Steelworks Studios and VOICE.

 

As with last year, there will be plenty of surprise guests and treats, with David Bowie and Beatles sing-along buses and big headline bands yet to be announced.

 

Last year bus passengers were treated to surprise performances from the likes of Dinosaur Pile Up and The Everly Pregnant Brothers. This year some big national acts have already confirmed that they will perform on the Buskers’ Bus at some point over the weekend. Revellers will have to hope they are on the right service to catch their intimate performances in what will be a once in a lifetime experience.

 

For times and updates look out on Bromheads Facebook page and follow the hashtag #buskersbus on Twitter.

RepoMen will be making two, very different, appearences at Tramlines Festival in Sheffield this weekend. They are both on Sunday 24th July.

 

The first is an acoustic set on the Busker’s Bus. We’re departing from outside of the Devonshire Cat pub in town at 1pm on the The Milestone Blues and Ale bus. The bus follows the following loop: Devonshire Cat/Trippets/Wig And Pen/The Shakespeare/Cads Blues Stage/Gardeners Rest/The Milestone/Kelham Island/West St/Bath Hotel/Devonshire Cat. Hop(!) on this bus between 1-2pm and you’ll catch us busking away. More info here:

Then it’s on to the main event at The Frog and Parrot on Division Street at 3pm for the full electric set as part of the Stevlor-curated “Fourth Reich of Rock’n’Roll”.

 

Hope you can join us for one if not two of our appearences. It’s all free!

 

We’ll have copies of our greatest hits album “Ocassional Sensations” to sell, priced at £7.99.
