Summers End Festival - Lydney,UK, Oct 2009 - Progressive Rock Music Forum

We are delighted to announce that this year’s edition of the Festival will take place on October 9 / 10 /11 at Lydney Town Hall, Gloucestershire, UK.

Festival founder Huw Lloyd Jones says:
“Lydney Town Hall was almost universally praised as a venue last year, so we are delighted to be back.”

Co-organiser Stephen Lambe talks about the potential line up for 2009:

“After the response to last years Festival, the pressure is on to match it, but we are sure we can do it. We have some great ideas, and if even a few of them come off, it should be an amazing weekend.”

We are also delighted to announce the first two bands booked for the Festival:

Parallel or 90 Degrees have announced that after a long hiatus they have reformed for a brand new album “Jitters” and some live dates. This follows the success of their Double CD retrospective “A Can of Worms” released last year. The band presents a harder edged, more contemporary sound than Andy Tillison’s other project, the Tangent, who made a triumphant headline appearance last year. We are delighted to say that the band will have a prominent slot at this years Festival.

We are also thrilled to welcome the brilliant Godsticks to one of the weekend’s opening slots. Based in South Wales, this unique 3 piece impressed us with their music which combines prog with fusion, pop and just a touch of funk. Their great songwriting and outstanding musicianship can be heard on the bands 5 track self-titled EP, available from their Myspace site.
