We’d just like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to every single person who bought a ticket online or on the door, bought CDs, or made donations at ApTap Fest 2026.

It looks like we’ve raised more than £1400 for BARKS - Banbury Animal Rescue & Kindness Service, which is absolutely fantastic!
Massive thanks as well to everyone working behind the scenes who helped make the whole weekend run like clockwork.

Thank you to all the bands and musicians who performed and donated tracks for the “Another Music in a Different Kitten” CD & download compilation album.

We still have a few copies left, along with previous compilation CDs from past events — “Pet Soundz Volume 2” and “Punk at the Tap.”
To help push the fundraising total even further, we’ve put together a limited edition bundle offer — pay for 2 CDs and get a 3rd FREE.
