News of the Summers End Festival at the Town Hall, Lydney 28-30 September 2012

 

It is with huge regret that we have to announce that Anglagard will not now be playing Summers End.  This is due to circumstances within the band which have led them to truncate their live appearances this year.  The band have asked us to pass on their apologies to those who, like us, were looking forward to seeing them this year.

 

However, we have an worthy replacement  in Norway's Wobbler, who will be making their first live appearance in the UK. Like Anglagard, the band make music drenched in vintage instruments and the spirit of the 70s.  After two albums "Hinterland" and "Afterglow" released in 2005 and 2009 respectively, the band changed direction slightly with 2011s rapturously-received "Rites of Dawn" with reviewers citing Yes and Gentle Giant as clear influences.  Long-term Summers End attendees will remember keyboard player Lars Frederik Froislie's appearance with his other band White Willow in 2006.

Nooooooooo!Cry I was so looking forward to see Anglagard. Oh well, I certainly remember White WIllow's performance in 2006 (my first gig, would you believe) and have been a big fan of anything Lars and Jacob have done since, will be very pleased to see Wobbler perform.

Summers End - Believe and day line-ups announced

 

News of the Summers End Festival at the Town Hall, Lydney 28-30 September 2012

 

We are delighted to announce the second band in our Friday night international double header, the brilliant Believe from Poland.  With three further albums under their belts since their debut in 2006 not to mention two live DVDs, the band who were formed by former Collage guitarist Mirek Gil, have a reputation for making atmospheric, dynamic, melodic  progressive rock.  Their sound is enhanced by the terrific violin playing of Satomi.  Their music should compliment that of Moon Safari brilliantly, and should make for a fantastic evening.
