Line-up

Rumpsteppers  - Esteemed maestros of the decks, these gentlemen spin tunes from a vast array of styles and eras, all mixed deftly and astonishingly adorned with a maelstrom of vocal gymnastics. Never was a dance floor so dastardly delectable. Feral and Frolic - Everybody knows that theatregoers of old paid top dollar for the boxes due to the privacy such an enclave affords, and therefore the misdemeanors to be enjoyed therein. In a return to tradition the enchantresses of Feral and Frolic bring you the most invigorating of installations, the most tantalising temptations for your sinful satisfaction. Chivaree Circus - The bizarre and the beautiful; the profound and the confounding; Chivaree Circus presents a freakish fête of feats to astonish and amaze.   Sarah Olivier - If all the world's oceans were champagne, and the stars were a million winking eyes all vying to take you home - that's the vast and ravishing sound of Sarah Olivier and her formidable band. Operatic rhythm and blues with a streak of cabaret and all the passion and pathos of the chanson of their native land. Sarah is a captivating and unpredictable storm of sensuality over impossibly and irresistibly driving bass, hypnotic drums, and seductively swaggering guitar and sax. Rip-roaring rock 'n' roll has never been sexier. The Celestial Salon - High above the roaring thorough and whirling crowds, up in the gods where the smoke gathers and the stars seem almost within reach you may discover that some said stars have fallen and oh, how enticingly their sounds and song shall play upon your unsuspecting ears. Featuring: Dila Vardar and Djanan Turan - Formidable figures from London's folk scene, these two bring traditional Turkish music onto festival stages with all the shimmer and sass of the rock goddesses they invoke. East meets West, old meets new, and these queenly frontwomen join forces for one magical evening of magnificent music. Leonie Evans and Garance Louis - Blues and jazz maestro, and multi-instrumentalist Leonie Evans, alongside virtuosic accordionist and cosmic musette Garance Louis. Their combined repertoires whirl you around the world with all the smokey shadows of faraway speakeasies, the glamour and heartbreak of Parisian summer nights, and feral romance of every starlit dancefloor from Havana to New Orleans.
