Music from the Sublime to the Ridiculous

Lizzy Parks

We are thrilled that Lizzy Parks will be performing at the 2008 festival. Her musical style blends the female singer-songwriter tradition going back to Carole King and Joni Mitchell, with influences from the cutting edge of Björk to the soaring jazz melodies of Ella Fitzgerald.

She performs regularly on the London jazz circuit and last summer played festivals across Europe, from Glastonbury to Athens.


Incontinentals

The Incontinentals are also Glastonbury veterans but provide a very different kind of entertainment. They describe themselves as "The maddest band in the world" and promise an unforgettable set.

They play a mix of folk, blues, jazz, rock and Irish reggae in a style that is reminiscent of Spike Jones, Bonzo Dog, and Monty Python. Mandolin, banjo, guitars and trombone are supported by washboard and a motley collection of recycled kitchen, garden and toilet objects. Their 'wardrobe' is something to behold.

See the music page for our full lineup.

Real Ale from Local Prize Winner

Severn Vale

Steve McDonald, owner of The Severn Vale Brewing Company based in nearby Cam, has agreed to supply a range of real ales and sponsorship for this year’s festival. Their Severn Sins dark stout recently beat 342 other real ales to be voted national champion in the Society of Independent Brewers National Beer Competition.

You can sample their beer at the Old Spot in Dursley, which was recently named as National Pub of the Year by the Campaign for Real Ale.
