A TOWN CALLED WINTERWELL

Folks, times is tougher than a neighbourhood fox. We’re grinding our bones to toothtpicks just to pay the Oyster or make it a double. It just ain’t right, we need a new beginning….

There’s talk of a town just 2hrs ride from here towards the Western territory. In the Valley of Ampney Down. It’s a new kind of Town, A Town called Winterwell. I hear the DJ’s drop beats like we drop calls and the drinks flow like commuters’ tears. Every Church is a saloon and every saloon a church, the preachers preach from their pulpits and the blackhearted rot in their cells. There’s fancy dancing, fancy drinking and miracle remedies for all your ailments when it all get’s too much.  I even heard prospectors talk of the surrounding hills  being lined up with gold.

We love music, all types of music. Folk, indy, swing, rock n roll, ska, funk, house, electro and the rest. We’re all ears

This year we have Moshi Moshi records (home of Hot Chip, Florence of the Machines etc) hosting our main stage on Saturday, The Sizzle Suite returning with their tent of tricks and Will Rees from the Electro Acoustic Club curating the rest of our line up!
