"Set in the beautiful South Shropshire Hills in an award winning Brew Pub. 14 or more bands over a night and a day all able to be accompanied by the joys of real ale brewed on the premises.

"Camping is available a short walk out of the town centre as are many B&Bs . Also there is another brewery / 4 real ale pubs and artisan shops and countryside to get lost in - oh yes and the music!"

This festival is being organised by the incredible Lancashire & Somerset label, otherwise known as Mr David Hand. Details will be forthcoming on their website soon, but in the meantime you can email hello@lancashireandsomerset.co.uk for more information. 

Mmmm... music, beautiful countryside, actual beer an the company of esteemed friends. Four of our most favourite things in life. Join us, why don't you?

A NEGATIVE NARRATIVE

We gone dun an ninterview innit. But this time, instead of having to read our drivel in print, the responses are all in photographs. So you can enjoy some random snaps instead. And have a look around a cracking website. If you look at it on your fancy dan smartphone, try hold your phone portrait for a jukebox of all the bands they've featured, or landscape to see the photos!

Put together by the mysterious and mercurial Mitch Gavell.

Also, thanks once again to the highly excellent BBC Radio 6Music DJ Gideon Coe for continuing to champion our music. He is a very, very nice man - and even played our good friends Kogumaza t'other day to boot! Now can we have a session?

TODAY IS THE DAY!

Our "Teapot" EP hits all three and a half of the remaining record shops on earth. If you live in or near Nottingham, may we recommend you buy a copy from the fabulous Music Exchange? If you don't, how about ordering yourself a copy direct from Hello Thor's site?

Guten tag!

HUGE thanks to everyone who came out to the Teapot EP launch party and made it such a special night. We had an incredible time and Eleanor Lee, Nordenfelt, Azores and Forever Sound were all absolutely brilliant. Thanks too to FourbeatWalk, Hello Thor and our dedicated army of DJs and cake-bakers for making it super-sensual.

Here's a little camera-recorded video from our set:
