The FunkyEnd also provides a home to a diverse selection of cutting edge dance music from up and coming DJ's.
GuilFest 2006 is to feature a Silent Disco' for the first time. A Silent Disco?! The Silent Disco will make enough noise to wake the dead but not the neighbours! Other late night activities include The Jelly Tree Video Lounge where you can chill-out and watch an eclectic selection of video art, short films and animation, and a late night sing along to all your favourite songs in the all new ACM Acoustic Lounge.
GuilFest is delighted that the Academy of Contemporary Music is to continue its commitment new talent and is to host the all new Acoustic Lounge where up and coming singer songwriters can get up and dazzle audiences with their compositions.
So raise your glasses and drink at toast to music, fun, and friendship at GuilFest 2006.
