Aeon Festival will be taking place over the 3 day August Bank Holiday weekend at Shobrooke Park Estate, Crediton, Devon on the 28th-30th August 2009. Now in its 4th year, Aeon has grown growing organically, initially a small event attracting 400 curious people now a full weekend festival with over 2500 people attending.

Small and intimate with neither corporate funding or sponsorship, the festival offers a huge amount over the August bank holiday weekend. A whole host of emerging exciting talents from across the South West and beyond gather for an end of summer party before the leaves start turning gold. It’s all about live music and DJs, fantastic film, poetry and comedy as well as plenty to do for children and families. There are all sorts of art workshops, forest school, new parents and toddlers chill space, healing things, buskers corner to raise money for their chosen charity, gorgeous food and market stalls as well as 4 stages, a cinema tent and a well stocked bar selling fine local beverages.

This year the lineup on the Jam The Channel dance music stage includes Elite Force, Break, Hijack, Skitz, 2 Bit Thugs, Roland The Bastard and Mike Lennon.  I’ll be playing on the Friday evening.  There is also a main stage natural amphitheatre featuring live punk/ska/indie/rock, Cabaret Voltaire funk/jazz/comedy/poetry tent, Sika Studios circus/graffiti/breakdancing workshops and much more!

All good things must come to an end!

Click here to download the last ever Sunday Roast radio show

After 6 years of broadcasting a weekly show, 2 of those on Brap, I have decided to call it a day.  My last Sunday Roast show on Brap was on 16th August 2009.  The reason is simple, I unfortunately no longer have the time or energy to dedicate to broadcasting a weekly show.

This will not effect my efforts with Void Brap parties in Bristol planned for 2009 and 2010.  I will remain dedicated towards these parties, working closely with Voiders from the South Coast, Brappers from Bristol, and other Brappers from across the country to help promote the station and raise funds for Oxfam.

I’ll be taking the rest of the year off from radio broadcasting.  Maybe in 2010, depending on my situation, I may be able to return to broadcast less often (possibly some sets on Void Radio), although thats just a brief idea at the moment, nothing is currently confirmed.

I’d like to say a big thank you to the Brap management and all the people who have tuned into my shows over the years.  Big kiss for you all.
