Event information

Headliner: The Talks

-Reggae/Indie/Punk 4 piece from Hull.

In June 2007 The Talks were added to the Glastonbury Festival lineup playing on the Lost Vagueness/Strummerville stage alongside acts such as Madness, Jamie T, Dirty Pretty Things, and Keith Allen.
"An infectious and playful mix of ska reggae and good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll, which is all evident on the upbeat ska driven "Teachers" or the laid-back, but upbeat, reggae stylings of the swaggering "Kids In Town"(TEN FOOT CITY MAGAZINE)

Plus: Semaphore

-Americana/Rock/Folk 3 piece from London.
Semaphore sings songs about drinking, women and everyday disillusion. Their words are peppered with imagery from nature, the Bible and even the wrong side of the bar.
"When you see a lot of gigs you inevitably see plenty of crap. So when you eventually witness a performance from a band so rare and original you want to tell everybody you speak to about them it is something of an event. Semaphore are one such band"(Clash Magazine)
