Music Festivals, on average, generate 23,500 tonnes of waste which includes plastic bottles, food scraps, abandoned tents and clothing.
Bianca Fachel, Brazilian singer songwriter, is the person behind the idea of the festival. Artists from different parts of the World will perform their original songs and songs that they like via different ways, recorded videos, music video clips and live videos. This live Festival will be streamed direct from Birdland Music Studio little forest in Ireland. A retreat to nurture creativity, write, produce and record songs. The Studio was built with recycled materials, reused pallets, doors and windows and second hand furniture.
After releasing her single The Way Back Home, Bianca’s first online show Land of Dreams – A Journey to Inspiration Vol. 1 was a huge success drawing an audience from all over the world to come together in the delightful ambience of Birdland. The second show The timeless River – a wrinkle in time Vol. 2 was repeated successfully in 2021.
“Music in the Forest Hybrid Festival 2022 is a local event that generates a small, tight-knit live audience but also a broad online audience that combined can be around thousands of people. Coming from a Music festivals background, as an attendee and musician I always questioned how much rubbish and impact these festivals bring to the environment. We need to take action now, it is our problem. Our responsibility. Beyond that, there are fantastic add ons and activities following the event: Tree of Life Combo (each add-on ticket bought in Europe, USA, England and Ireland, we will send a tree cutting from one of our sponsors Gardens for Life), ticket giveaways, mysterious gifts and much more as a reward. I remember an old proverb: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”” Bianca Fachel, the director of the Festival says.
