    In the main, t's a festival for new and/or unsigned bands so chances are you will not know many bands. This is part of the fun though. It's a cracking festival.

    I missed Pond. Double gutting as I arrived at the The Globe pub 45 mins before they were due on around the back of the pub. I decided to grab some food and a beer before heading around the tradesman's entrance with time to spare. But, they had changed their slot and were on whilst I was...

    I agree with this and I have been to all bar the first. It is growing a developing nicely and every year more venues are embracing the festival and holding their own events and hosting their own stages; there was even a launderette with a stage and a programme of artists. The buzz around the...

    The NME stage typically has indie. I think it will be in Horatios at the end of the pier again this year. But don't spend all day there, there's tons of other great stuff on. The programme states the genre of each band along with a brief description so check this as well. You might not get in...
