first timers fest
First Timers was started by Bryony Beynon in Summer 2013, inspired by similar
initiatives in North America, like Not Enough Fest in New Orleans and Portland,
and First Times the Charm in Philadelphia. The first FT took place in Nov 2013
in London and over twenty new bands incl. Big Joanie, Queerocious Primetime and
‘Kin Shot formed through it. The first night took place in a squatted venue in
Hackney, the second night at Powerlunches (RIP.)
