In the dance tent, the Grammy nominated Zero 7 and collaborator of Dub/Electro/Drum with Islamic/world grooves, Celt Islam will play DJ sets with all things folk, comedy and cabaret, QueerinSpace in the Bet Lynch tent will be home to rising soul star 18 year old singer songwriter Jasmine Kennedy, the duo behind one of Mojo’s Top 10 Albums of the Year 2010 O'Hooley & Tidow and acoustic soul from Extracurricular’s Ruby & Noah.

You can even bring the kids as it has always been important to organisers Sean and Karen Birdsall, and their family, that children have as much to do and enjoy as the adults. A separate camping area this year allows families to relax when it comes to bedtime knowing they won’t be woken by late night stragglers and there is a growing programme of events and workshops for toddlers and teenagers.
