I'm not affiliated with this. It's proposed event in an awesome country park in Peterborough, Cambs.

Lineup includes Ten Years After and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.

They're selling tickets via Crowdfunder, meaning if they don't sell enough by 10th April then you get your pledge returned. Seems like a good idea.

I'm posting here because it seems woefully marketed. It seems really ambitious to have this lineup and yet I only found out about it this week. I am in just about every musicians group in the area.

Had any of you heard about it? Maybe those big name bands are nothing like the original incarnations.

    Crazy innit? They've had a lot of reposts this week which seems to be punters trying to get this event to happen, rather than the organisers doing publicity themselves.

    It's probably a sad case of passionate people not realising you can't just have a good idea, you have to have the business acumen to make it a reality.

    Welshman Nev Macdonald’s band. One of my favourite singers, and also the founder of Kooga, another of my faves.

    The festival is happening, right now. It's a very niche affair, but the bands I've been helping in the smaller stage are all very good standard. It's a tiny event, most people in Peterborough don't even know it's happening and probably won't realise either. Tickets capped at 1000 and only 3 stages. Well organised though.
