Appearing:
Ferocious Dog
More than a band, they are a family. “To listen to the Ferocious Dog as it snarls and growls at the world is to show responsibility” said a Louder Than War review of their brilliant, recently released and Fake News and Propaganda album, but this is an outfit that shows compassion too. They’ve been hailed as “a representation of our gut feeling, savage and merciless” and at the same time, called “folk in the grand tradition of it being the peoples sound.” Ferocious Dog, however are all those things. And that, in a world where the lines of truth are blurred by the rich, powerful and corrupt, is priceless. A band that does drives for foodbanks – not for headlines, but because it was the right thing to do - a band that welcomes Big Issue, Hunt Sabs and conservationists Sea Shepherd to their shows. No, here the feeling is important. Ferocious Dog is the group where fans were tattooed in the shop belonging to the lead singer, Ken Bonsall, where the violinist and band leader, Dan Booth prints the posters, and Ryan Brooks plays the lead guitar. They can wow a punk festival one minute, a folk festival the next – and fit right in anywhere.…

The Rezillos
The Rezillos are a classic 70s punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland, reunited and reformed for the new Millennium. Best known to many for their 1978 British Top 20 hit 'Top Of The Pops' as well as the classics 'Destination Venus' and 'I Can't Stand My Baby' and '(My baby Does) Good Sculptures'. They released the single 'Out Of this World' on CD, download and 7" vinyl on December 1st 2011. In March 2015 they released they're long awaited (37 years!) second album, ZERO, which was univerally hailed as a worthy follow up. They toured this album supporting The Stranglers round the UK, toured the US and Canada in May and again in July 2015 and ended the year with a two month headline tour throughout the UK. Original members Fay Fife, Eugene Reynolds and Angel Paterson are augmented by Chris Agnew on bass and Jim Brady guitar.

Anti Nowhere League
An infamous group of hardcore punk rock anarchists, Anti Nowhere League have been living the punk lifestyle for over two decades. Lead singer Animal and his friend Magoo formed the band in 1980, and promptly got arrested at their very first gig. The history of the League is littered with brushes with the law, rock and roll misbehaviour and very loud music. There have been band break-ups and reformations aplenty, but Animal and his chums can be found plying their wares to this very day.

Spear Of Destiny
Vocalist/guitarist with Theatre Of Hate, Kirk Brandon formed the first S.O.D line up in 1983. Throughout the 80s, their albums went top 20 and led to them supporting U2.
