The Main Stage
* This is when a few of us from innocent get together to wow you with our drumming. We've been practicing for weeks, so it would be nice if you clapped at the end.
The Dj Tent
We tend to have some very clever DJs in our dance tent too. We're not really sure what happened last year as we couldn't get anywhere near it, but we hope that everyone had fun. Lots more DJs will be coming along this year- including that nice Rob Wilder from Hed Kandi.

The Puppini sisters recently performed for the grande dame of British fashion, Vivienne Westwood, on the bar of the Café Royal, and are fast gaining a reputation as the quirkiest of Jazz acts.
