Fun Filled Fleurfest 2014


CSM’s sister company Abingdon Freight Forwarding Agency (AFFA) are proud to have sponsored the Fleurfest Music Festival which took place at the weekend.  Affa were delighted to offer logistics support and also provided staging for the event.

Fleurfest, held at the Fleur de Lys, East Hagbourne Oxfordshire, was host to many live bands in a celebration of live music combined with a real ale festival.  The annual family festival not only draws class live bands and entertainers it also supports the best local cover bands too.


Headliners included the Krissy Matthews Blues Band, who supplied their smooth blues rock style, the bands popularity is growing increasingly through Europe and from their performance on Friday it was clear to see why.  The heavier sound of Mick Quinn’s db Band were a hit with Saturday’s crowd, while the beautiful soulful set by Lilian Boutte summed up the amazing array of music which ensured that there was music for all tastes.

Another highlight of this year’s event saw a dance off between a troop of Morris men and belly dancers, energetic performances by both, no official winner, but we think the belly dances were ahead by a wiggle!

Duchess played an enchanting set and there were plenty of smiles for Tumbledown Dick, the barn dance band.

Fleurfest 2014 was a resounding success, a big thank you to all organisers for a job well done, and we are already looking forward to next year!
