SHOOT FESTIVAL 2017 | ARTISTS
Shoot 2017 introduced the Sound Stage which was packed with solo acoustic artists, rap, reggae and even a contemporary twist on Shakespeare's words. The Performance Programme also returned with a touch of comedy, a sprinkle of hot chocolate and a serenade of our very own Jen Davis (in coat hanger form). .
