Beach Break Live Causes Waves in Dragons' Den
Last night saw Celia Norowzian (24) and Ian Forshew (25) win over not one but four of the notoriously tough Dragons in BBC2's brand new series of Dragons' Den.
In a thorough pitch the two young entrepreneurs presented their plans and projections for the UK's first student-only festival - Beach Break Live - and impressed the panel with their professional approach. Out of the four offers made to them on the show they chose to go with Peter Jones' deal.
Lured by the unique proposition of not only the UK's 1st Student festival, but also one of the only major festivals licensed to take place a short walk from a popular beach and by a realistic ethical stance, the pitch offered achievable targets with a socially responsible approach.
However, in a bold move, the dynamic duo has now decided to decline his offer. Recent accolades for 'Beach Break Live', which include a nomination for Best New Festival at The UK Festival Awards, have drawn the attention of the music industry and attracted a host of top industry partners offering support and partnerships; which Norowzian and Forshew felt to be the right alliances for their brand.

Desyn Masiello: ilikemusic because... It saved my life!
Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.
Alison Moyet: ilikemusic because... No one gets to choose mine for me.
Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
robbie: ilikemusic because... my friends say its cool
O'Bailey: ilikemusic because... I can live vicariously through a song, whether it's a screaming angry rock anthem or a silly kids song ("I'm a little yellow fish" anyone?) haha!
Hugo, The Maccabees: ilikemusic because... I just do. I’ve always liked music. It’s just my thing.
Taio Cruz: ilikemusic because... It’s my life and it’s the air that I breathe. It calms me when I’m feeling uptight and it’s there for me when I want to party if I want to listen to something up tempo, it’s just amazing in any situation. That’s why I like music!
