Guildean Gang

The boys have been together for a year and a half and have supported The
wombats, look see proof, lightspeed champion, boy kill boy, the
subways, good shoes etc in the last year.

Their debut single 'Swirls' came out in may and got into the indie
top 40 as well as the XFM main playlist and MTV2. The boys have also
played sold out gigs around the country, including the cambridge
junction and camden proud galleries (both over 800 capacity) and we have
strong interest from industry at the moment.

Vanilla Kick

Having recently had tracks from their latest CD/EP CORRIDORS featured on BBC Radio Norfolk and BBC Radio Suffolk Introducing, VANILLA KICK return to The Man on the Moon at the start of a busy summer of gigs for this Suffolk based, atmospheric rock band.

worriedaboutsatan
Sometimes known as Gavin Miller and Tom Raggsdale, play electronic music with heart and soul. Their sound is like that of a hazy, dopesick, threeway-duel between Underworld, Trent Moeller and Explosions in the Sky.

"Literally Jaw Dropping.... its hard to imagine a post rock/electronic hybrid that isn't just derivative of 65 days of static, but worriedaboutsatan delivers it in spades" Silent Ballet

"Gripping soundscapes...skewering explosions in the sky sentimentalism with synths and broken beats...breathtaking" Rock Sound

Cigars of the Pharoah
A new solo project of MK born Leeds resident Alex Myers, he hates Patrick Kielty. He focuses this deep rage through a variety of electronic devices; resulting quite surprisingly in heartfelt glitchcore punctuated at various intervals by vocals, acoustic guitar and tender synths.

Zealot of the Crushing Death sect, Chesterton's answer to Malefic and all round good time dude.

We are seven strong and seven years old. We like to make things, write things, play things & draw things.

We run our own record label called GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK B.R. (Bedroom Recordings), which is pretty much a vinyl only label (occasionally we do limited handmade cassettes too). We started the label to release our own music aswell as other stuff that we like & support. We're also just starting to put out a few independent books too, the first one being "Everything Is Better Under Covers" By Jaime (Tanaou), which is out in July and is a collection of short stories, poetry & other writings... There a few others on the way too.

We do most of our recordings in a studio in Umea, in the North of Sweden where our friend and practically our eighth member Magnus Lindberg (who also plays in the band Cult Of Luna) helps us put our music onto tape. We've made so many great friends and spent so much time there in the 5 years since we first started going there that the Umea snow feels just as much like home as Northampton does.

The only loose objective of Tanaou is to create some nice sounds, tell some stories, see some new places, spend time with our friends and make some new ones, but if by doing theses things we can make a few people think a little harder and dig a little deeper then that's very much cool by us!"

With its beautiful cathedral towering majestically above the surrounding countryside, the City of Ely lies in the heart of the Cambridgeshire Fens, famed for spectacular sunsets and the vast open sky. What better location for a weekend of the best in folk music and dance?
Each Ely Folk Festival is better than the last, with an impressive guest list and programme of workshops, concerts, displays, ceilidhs and children's entertainment. The musicians appearing at the Ely Folk Festival reflect the rich diversity of the modern music scene, with a mixture of established favourites and newer talent.
We will be spending more than ever on performers and are especially proud to remain a small, friendly festival. You can meet the artists 'unplugged'. You can take part in workshops, dances, sessions or perform in the Club Tent. And you can get really close to the main stage.
The Folk Festival is based on a single site which includes marquees, camping facilities, food stalls, trade stands, real-ale bar, real toilets, showers, children's entertainment... Ely city centre is accessible by shuttle bus (or 20 minutes' walk). We are in town for Morris displays and pub sessions during the daytime.
