vCRF 2020 Arena and Programme

Sunday

Bulletin Board

  • This FESTIVAL IS ONLY AVAILABLE HERE. IT IS NOT ON YOUTUBE. DO NOT BUY TICKETS OR PAY ANYONE TO WATCH IT ANYWHERE. There are scammers out there - tell your friends that! 

  • As far as we can tell, our new 'virtual private server' has resolved the access problems from the first run.

  • If you have problems, we have added a new separate Facebook Group where you can report them. We will be monitoring this from time to time. There is a BIG RED BUTTON below to g to it! Please give us as much detail as possible!

  • Check your download speed if you don't know it then use an appropriate quality level

  • Use the "Who else is playing" to see who is in the compilations (in quotes!)

  • Please go to the band merch/websites and help them by buying something!

  • If you want to help us cover the costs of running this event, please donate - button below!

Think of this as being in the CRF arena, with stages all around you... and this as your programme.

​

Just click the band name to read about them. Or read about next year's 'proper' CRF line-up here: 

vCRF20 is free for anyone to watch.... there is no entrance fee

​

... however, it has cost us something to make it happen and we've incurred losses with the aborted CRF20. If you would like to make a donation please do so using the button here. Anything you donate will be used to help us with CRF21.

​

Please also sign up to our newsletter so we can send you CRF21 news.

Every band has given their consent to use these videos, free of charge.

Please support them by buying their merchandise!

We've added a virtual 'Merchandise Table' for every band (where we can), visible during their set.

First, see who is playing, where and when

​

There is a full line-up below of bands who are playing a full 'set'. On the Amber stage these have been compiled by us using fan-shot high definition video. On the Topaz stage they are nearly all video shot by our professional film crew as shown on the screens beside the stage.

 

Tracks by 30+ more bands, including Cats In Space, Curved Air, Dare, Focus etc

​

Where we've only had one or two tracks in HD, we have built various compilation sets to showcase many other different bands. You'll find them hidden away in some made-up band names below (in quotes - all are anagrams of Cambridge Rock!). Spoiler alert! If you like surprises then ignore this... If you want to know who is included and when, click the link here...

​

Then click the amber or topaz buttons below to go to the stages - when they are due!

​

There are at least two servers for most options. If one seems too "busy" (i.e. your video won't run properly) then try a different server, and/or check your own internet download speed and if necessary try a slower speed. The trade-off is that picture quality may be affected.

​

If you are having problems...

​

Here are some useful links that we hope will answer your questions. Please check here before messaging us, preferably using the comments button here. Please tell us the band and the server - both are at the top of the screen, so we can monitor the situation. We'll check there from time to time and respond when we can - it may not be immediate!

​

Clicking F5 on your keyboard to refresh the screen may help sometimes.

​

If you are having a great time...

​

Tell us what you think using our main Facebook Group! Post some photos too!
