A huge thank you to everyone who performed, volunteered, donated and came along to support TabsFest 2026 at The Big Sheep, Bideford. Your energy, generosity and spirit made it such a special event and raised funds for Tabitha’s Smile. Headlining our debut year were the incredible Majesty, A Tribute to Queen, supported by Nick Parker & The False Alarms, The Kahunas, Yazzy and Fool Custardy, Mislaid Grenade, Nick Parker and Chivenor Military Ladies Choir.
“What an absolute honour for be part of Tabsfest yesterday, a festival & charity created for something so so close to my heart. … To the band, Tabitha’s family & everyone who showed up, thank-you for such a wonderful celebration of Tabitha’s life…for those of you following, Tabitha was a dear friend of mine & sadly lost her battle with cancer so young.. whilst Tabitha was alive I encouraged her to write a song with me, as I find songwriting so therapeutic & really helps me to get my emotions out… that’s how ‘Sparkle’ was created & what a honour to perform it live yesterday with Ali & the band (who are all sooooo unbelievably talented). Tabs would have bloody loved it. We did that for her!”

We were thrilled with how well the first Tabsfest was received, and we’ll be back in 2027. Save the date for Saturday May 8th… tickets available soon!
