The Show So Far

Following a bizarre incident in which the entire village of Tallington was engulfed in a freak tidal wave of dung, we are pleased to announce a new venue, a new programme, and a new trophy to play for at our annual Summer Fayre.
This year the event will take place at Lumb Farm, near Ripley in Derbyshire. Dates are confirmed as August 15th – 17th, so stick them in your diary and get in touch! Tickets are now on sale at a measly £15, under 18's are free. Get in touch via the P.O. Box address, see us at gigs, or buy them here with Paypal - you don't have to sign up for an account you can just use your card:

They will still be available on the day I'm sure.

Mr Henry Lawrence is interested in hearing from anyone who would like to join him in a ‘fellow travellers’ performance. Anyone who is planning on going anyway and would like to perform can propose some material on the website, and other interested parties can then learn it at home and turn up and join in. Sounds like a recipe for the bizarre. The link is here to Fellow Travellers

Many thanks once more to all those artistsgiving up their time. It is very much appreciated. If anyone is willing to help with the door, sound or general carrying we'll be very glad to hear from you.

Acts are confirmed as follows:

FRIDAY
7.00 - 7.30
Expect dark and brooding songs, with humour and compassion.
7.40 - 8.10
A one man mission to prove that acoustic doesn't have to mean 'boring hippy shit'
8.25 - 8.55
Electro punk folk shambles from veteran ashes favourites.
9.05 - 9.35
In need of validation? This is your man.
9.45 - 9.55
Not to be missed - apparently think a female Wob with extra punk thrown in...
10.25 - 10.55
Hazel O'Connor was wrong. He didn't do all that stuff on the eighth day; He actually made Chris Butler instead.
11.15 - 12.00
More bounce than Tigger.
SATURDAY
11.00 - 11.30
A mild-mannered cousin to understated poets of everyday Englishness, he writes winsome and charming songs.
11.45 - 12.15
The Spirit of '77, with original songs on topics ranging from the political to the personal, as well as throwing in a few songs from their heroes.
12.30 - 1.00
Prepare for them to enrapture you by their magnificence. They may destroy you, but only in order to save you.
1.15 - 2.00
Motivational poems for cats and for people, and if you're lucky perhaps even one of her story-books for children. But I suspect you knew that already.
2.00 - 5.00
THE BLYTH POWER ASHES
Come one, come all, and enjoy Jessi Adams in defeat. Players of all ages, abilities and species welcome.
5.00 - 5.30
Their guitarist goes out with the Ballerina Boy, don't you know.
5.45 - 6.15
Family entertainment for all you dysfunctional families. Splendid stuff.
6.30 - 7.00
Beware of the Soft Fruit.
7.15 - 7.45
Grumpy, skint, and qualified for feck all. Mr Cooper seizes control of the mic and relegates TDL to where a drummer should be.
8.00 - 8.40
Giving sorrow a bad name...
9.00 - 9.40
A sophisticated and dedicated bunch, but watch out for Osama.
10.00 - 10.40
Jessi Adams and his punk fellows create music, mayhem and madness all their own. Not a mention of a big nose.
11.00 - 12.00
What folk music did next. (We really need some new quotes...)
SUNDAY
11.00 - 11.40
Anything can happen in the next 40 minutes.
12.00 - 12.40
They don't mean to put down the shiny happy people.
1.00 - 1.40
Gothtastic Yorkshire folk.
2.00 - 3.00
Will the legacy of sweat and boredom left in the desert by the Templar Knights be rekindled in the Kevlar helmets and SA80s of the modern armies bound for Baghdad? You may just find out here today.
