Get to know your hosts!

CocteauFest is a fan-based event which was started back in 2003 by Leesa Beales & Michael Borum. It's an annual gathering of Cocteau Twins fans from around the globe who get together (in a different city each year) to meet, greet, eat & dance to CT music all night long! Sometimes there are even live bands doing CT cover songs at the event! The former members of Cocteau Twins make no commitment to perform. This is not a live concert event. The former band members do, however, sponsor the event annually.

Leesa Beales owns and operates a variety of Cocteau Twins websites including: cocteautwins.org, cocteautwinsforums.com, simonraymonde.com, cocteaufest.com, elizabethfraser.com, and is a contributor to cocteautwins.com. She has been a long-time fan of the band and collector of Cocteau Twins ephemera. Leesa also wrote a track (and directed the video for) "Muscle and Want", a track on Simon Raymonde's solo album "Blame Someone Else."

Michael Borum owns and operates the official Cocteau Twins website cocteautwins.com and is a contributor to cocteaufest.com.
