  • Munkyfest was an independent, NPOV, DIY music festival held in Cheshire, England. The festival grew from a small private party to a nationally-known event held on a farm. The festival hosted a range of bands, from local unsigned artists, to better-known bands, including Hot Club De Paris, and even bands from outside the UK, such as Persil. The festival was acclaimed by members of music scenes around the UK, and on occasion the mainstream press. There were eight Munkyfest events, held annually from 1999-2006, the last ever Munkyfest was held on 5 August 2006. Each festival took place over one day, with overnight camping. Munkyfest was conceptually quite different from the majority of music festivals, owing to its origins as a private party. The events were all organised by a small group of friends, who worked on a voluntary basis. The DIY ethic extended to the construction of the stage, the choice of bands as well as the strictly not for profit organisation. Since the organisers were entirely independent, and not aiming to make a profit unlike larger festivals, they were able to chose whichever bands they wanted to play. This led to a wide reputation amongst underground music scenes throughout the country.
