dates for Summers End booked - 2009 was excellent.
Winters End looks a good prospect - having fallen for Touchstone (my son, Mini Vac very much fallen for their petite singer Kim), any bill with them on it is looking good...

The Summers End Festival will once again be held at Lydney Town Hall, Gloucestershire on October 8,9, 10. Here’s news of our first two bands! We are delighted to announce that this year’s festival will feature our first ever band from outside Europe, Australia’s wonderful Unitopia. Having made waves with their debut More than a Dream in 2006, the band truly established themselves by signing to Inside Out and releasing double album The Garden in 2008. With third album Artificial on the way and an appearance at Rosfest this spring to look forward to, expect a superbly melodic and powerful set from this hugely talented band. http://www.unitopiamusic.com/ - www.unitopiamusic.com http://www.myspace.com/unitopiaband - www.myspace.com/unitopiaband http://www.facebook.com/pages/Unitopia/22985966625 - www.facebook.com/pages/Unitopia/22985966625 Ark , from the West Midlands, will be familiar to many as one of the leading lights of the late 80s / early 90s British prog scene, before calling it a day in 1995. This reformed line up includes the legendary John Jowitt (IQ) on bass, alongside Ant Short, Pete Wheatley, Steve Harris and drummer Tim Churchman (Darwins Radio). http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ark/61636548008 - www.facebook.com/pages/Ark/61636548008 http://www.summersend.co.uk/ - (updating soon) |

The Watch are very much on the rise, known both for their excellent original material and their uncanny reproductions of Genesis music from the Peter Gabriel era. Having already headlined Rosfest, and playing to growing audiences throughout Europe, this popular band will play a mixed set of original and Genesis material at this year’s Festival. http://www.thewatchmusic.net/ - www.thewatchmusic.net http://www.myspace.com/thewatchmusic - www.myspace.com/thewatchmusic Phideaux from the USA join Unitopia as the first two bands from outside Europe to ever play the festival. Led by LA-based multi-instrumentalist Phideaux Xavier, the band have won a cult following with seven albums of remarkable art rock influenced both by classic prog and psychedelic music. We are thrilled that this remarkable 10 piece band will make their first UK appearance at Summers End 2010. http://www.bloodfish.com/ - www.bloodfish.com http://www.myspace.com/phideaux - www.myspace.com/phideaux Bands already announced: Unitopia (Australia) http://www.unitopiamusic.com/ - www.unitopiamusic.com Ark (UK) http://ark.grango.org/ - http://ark.grango.org/ http://www.summersend.co.uk/ - (new website coming soon) |

The Summers End Festival to be held at Lydney Town Hall, Gloucestershire on October 8,9,10 is delighted to announce its Saturday Evening line up – the superb Swedish “Power of Two” double bill of Agents of Mercy and Karmakanic.
With the Flower Kings on hiatus Roine Stolt and Jonas Reingold are currently concentrating on the Agents of Mercy, which also features the vocal talents of Nad Sylvan. The band are currently recording the follow up to their superb first album “The fading Ghosts of Twilight” prior to Roine’s Spring tour with Transtlantic. Meanwhile, Jonas’ band Karmakanic won huge praise for their third album “Who’s the Boss in the factory”, in 2008. Expect 3 hours plus of inspirational music, with sets from both bands, neither of whom have played in the UK before. http://www.myspace.com/agentsofmercy - http://www.myspace.com/agentsofmercy

In the first of two announcements over the next few days, the Summers End Festival to be held at Lydney Town Hall, Gloucestershire on October 8,9,10 is delighted to announce its entire Friday line up! Headliners will be the enigmatically titled “The Defence of the Realm with 3 Js and a P” – a one off musical extravaganza featuring Jem Godfrey (Frost) and John Mitchell (Frost, It Bites, Kino) and two very well known musicians to be named later. What teases we are! This promises to be one of those “you had to be there” nights, so should not be missed under any circumstances!
We are also delighted to welcome back the marvellous Tinyfish to the festival after their show stopping opening slot in 2007. The band will release the long-awaited 2nd album “Big Red Spark” in August 2010.
The third band of the evening will be Unto Us, the new project from singer Huw Lloyd Jones (ex Also Eden). More news about this band will be revealed very soon. In a few days we will be announcing our two opening acts for the main festival. One is an established band with a growing reputation, the other may be unknown to you, yet is one of the most exciting - and unusual – new projects we’ve heard in many years. Stay tuned!

The Summers End Festival to be held at Lydney Town Hall, Gloucestershire on October 8,9,10 is delighted to announce that the superb Sylvan will take their place at the festival one year late. We are also thrilled to announce our Saturday and Sunday openers – Dead Heroes Club from Ireland and Multifuse – who are best described as European! Our next announcement, in about 7 days, will feature: The launch of our 2010 website, the draft schedule for Saturday and Sunday, plus first news of ticket sales and prices. Sylvan, from Germany, have released a succession of superb and hugely popular albums over the past 11 years, mixing strong playing with intense emotional melodies and lyrics. Having had to postpone their appearance last year, we welcome them to the Festival at last! http://www.sylvan.de/ - www.sylvan.de Dead Heroes Club, from Ireland’s, are winning huge praise for their classic prog style which also draws inspiration from the great Irish song writing tradition. Having already headlined at the Peel in London, we are thrilled to have a band of such stature kicking off the main part of the festival. http://www.myspace.com/thedeadheroesclub - www.myspace.com/thedeadheroesclub Multifuse thrilled us the first time we heard them, and we immediately knew we had to invite them to play the festival. The band are the brainchild of Provence based English multi-instrumentalist Peter Fallowell and feature singer Cherie Emmitt alongside musicians from the UK, France and Italy! Think Renaissance combined with Magma and you might get some idea of what this amazing band sound like. http://www.myspace.com/multifuse - www.myspace.com/multifuse http://www.crookedcatmusic.com/ - www.crookedcatmusic.com

News of the Summers End Festival at Lydney Town Hall on October 8, 9, 10. The longest running and still the best.... Hi All Summer is pretty much at an end, so the countdown to the festival starts here! Tickets for all 3 days remain available at http://www.summersend.co.uk/ - www.summersend.co.uk . Don’t leave it til the last minute! First of all, we are sorry to announce that festival openers, Huw’s band Unto Us will be unable to play due to the unavailability of the band’s keyboard player, who will be on his honeymoon! Rehearsals continue to go exceptionally well, and the band will make its live debut later in the autumn. More news of them very soon. The band will be replaced, most likely by an acoustic act, and we will announce their identity soon. Secondly, these are the draft timings for the festival. As always, please use these details as a guideline only, as they are subject to change at any time. Please note that there will be one long break only on the Saturday, for those of you planning meals! Friday 8th October Doors 7pm 7.30 – 8.10 TBC 8.25 – 9.25 Tinyfish 9.45 – 11.15 Defence of the Realm

News of the Summers End Festival at Lydney Town Hall on October 8, 9, 10. Accept no imitations! http://www.summersend.co.uk/ - www.summersend.co.uk We are delighted to announce that The Resonance Association will complete this year’s line up by opening the Festival on Friday 8th October. Formed in 2006 in Croydon the band is Daniel Vincent and Dominic Hemy. Their three albums - Failure Of The Grand Design , We Still Have The Stars and Clarity In Darkness have blurred the line between krautrock, progressive rock, drone, ambient, shoegaze, industrial and even apocalyptic folk. Blimey. http://tra.moonfruit.com/ - http://tra.moonfruit.com/ Festival Co-organiser Stephen Lambe explains the reasons for the choice: “We could have offered the slot to any number of conventional prog and rock bands, but given our history of throwing the audience the odd left of field act, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to stir things up a bit.” The amended draft timings now look like this: Friday 8th October Doors 7pm 7.30 – 8.10 The Resonance Association 8.25 – 9.25 Tinyfish 9.45 – 11.15 Defence of the Realm
Doors 12noon 1 – 2 Haken 2.20 – 3.20 Ark 4.00 – 5.45 Unitopia 5.45 – 7.15 Break 7.15 Doors 7.30 – 11.00 Agents of Mercy / Karmakanic (will include 30 min interval) Sunday 10th October Doors 12.noon 12.30 – 1.30 Multifuse 1.50 – 2.50 Dead Heroes Club 3.20 – 4.50 Phideaux 4.50 – 6.00 Break 6.00 – 7.30 Sylvan 9.00 – 10.45 The Watch http://www.summersend.co.uk/ - |

Go by bus perhaps? Megabus from London to Glocester at noon will set you back 5 pounds.
