Day Tickets

A big thankyou to everyone who has purchased a ticket online!

On-line tickets sales have now stopped to allow us time to process the e tickets. Weekend tickets with camping will be available on the gate priced £50 (£20 teens) and day tickets available on Sat 5th Sun 6th at £20 (£10 teens).

Remember, all who bought online should have their receipt or email from paypal as we are not mailing tickets this year to save on costs.

This year we will be selling embryonic egg tickets for Cosmic Puffin 6 at the festival (even younger than early bird tickets!) for £30.

Love from all at Cosmic Puffin – Have a Great festival!

One in every 9 babies in the UK is born either premature or sick. That’s over 80,000 babies every year with one being admitted to special care every six minutes.

BLISS

The vital care that babies receive after birth can have a profound impact on the rest of their lives. For families struggling to cope, this will be one of the most difficult, emotional and stressful times of their lives.

Bliss is the UK charity working to provide the best possible care and support for all premature and sick babies and their families.

We believe that:

• Babies should have the same rights as anyone else

• The voices of babies and families must be heard

• Driving quality and innovation in the NHS that will deliver improved care for premature and sick babies and their families

• We achieve more by working together with individuals and organisations

• We must always be able to demonstrate the difference we make to the lives of babies and their families

Today we have something unique from Rusty Puffin. When he is not busy organising the traders and some of the band contacts for the Puffin site, he is a talented Chainsaw Carver.

As Rusty says: “It all started when I met Nicky; she started carving about 3 years ago, working from the side of the road carving Mushrooms and then moving on to garden shows. When we met she showed me how to use a chainsaw to carve mushrooms from some of the logs I was using for firewood. I took to using the chainsaw for carving straight away and really enjoyed it.”

Rusty Puffin

Rusty has been working on a totally unique carved Puffin, which he is auctioning in aid of the Cosmic Puffin supported charities, BLISS and National Autism.

Here is the Puffin in progress: Since the Cosmo the Puffin has gone up for auction on the Cosmic Puffin Official Facebook Page, the bids have so far reached £90.

We KNOW he is going to be taken home for more than this!

Interested bidders, contact the facebook page or contact through the website.

Flying White Dots

Flying White Dots is a guy called Bryan who has some sixteen years DJing experience and started to make bootleg mashups in 2005 and branched out into cosmic disco re edits in 2010.

After being taught a few tricks by Eric Kleptone, Flying White Dots started to experiment in 2006 with mixing MOR vocals with psychedelic music of various forms. Six months later, the finished article, an album called Staring At The Sky, was released and created a massive buzz in the underground scene. With such unlikely combinations such as Carole King with the Flaming Lips and Nathan Fake with the Rolling Stones and lots of sound effects to boot, this was something entirely different from anything else that was happening at the time.

Flying White Dots

Having made Eddy Temple Morris’s Bombs of the Year in 2006, 2007 saw Bryan get his first airplay on Radio One, thanks to Rob da Bank, who later described Flying White Dots as his favourite bootleg mashup type band. The follow up album Into The Great Unknown followed in October that year and it was agreed by many that this was better than the first one, with much attention given to Walking On Clouds, a recreation of the Orb’s Little Fluffy Clouds, and Your Poetry, a track that blended the vocal of Elton John’s Your Song over a beautiful downtempo track by Squarepusher.

2008 saw Flying White Dots warm up for the Orb with a spectacular audio visual extravaganza and this was followed later in the year with 3D, the third album, which was darker, deeper and more textured than the previous two. This was followed in 2009 with an appearance on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square for Anthony Gormley’s OneAndOther project and the fourth album CMYK, probably the happiest album he had made to date.

After playing an extremely well received uptempo set of cosmic disco, electro, techno and rock at Brighton’s Concorde 2 for Halloween 2009, Bryan suffered a major setback in November 2009 with a horrific hand injury in Cambodia which left him unable to fully bend his middle finger.

That didn’t stop him though. A triumphant set in the Wishing Tree on Sunday night at Bestival 2010 saw a hedonistic crowd grooving, smiling, swaying their arms and singing along at the top of their voices to every word of his unique interpretations of Your Song, Rocketman, You’re So Vain and Hotel California.

As well as doing the mashup thing, Bryan likes to play uptempo sets of disco in all its forms with lots of spoken word samples and sound effects. He always turns up on time with a laptop full of wicked tunes and dances and smiles behind the controls. He has the DJ bug like never before and nothing is going to stop him

Greetings to our Japanese Puffin! / 私たちの日本のツノメドリにご挨拶！

Girao Imaizumi is essentially a rapper but not like anything you’ve heard before. His free and very unusual style will appeal to anyone with an ear for the unconventional and he’s coming all the way from Japan just to play Cosmic Puffin so if you speak Japanese you’ll get an extra bonus.
