tomorrow we head up to the wonderful Deer Shed Festival held in beautiful North Yorkshire Parkland at Baldersby Park this is one of my favourite festivals, this year the line up is definitely guitar led with some of the music press saying guitar bands are boring and dying out, this line up where we have some of the most ferocious and exciting guitar bands of the year WOLF ALICE, CATFISH and The BOTTLEMEN, PINS, HAPPYNESS, PAWS, GIRLS NAMES, and of course one of this generation’s best guitar players ever with some of the most memorable riffs ever written with the Smiths, Modest Mouse , The Cribs bands or solo Mr JOHNNY MARR.
I urge you to see all of the bands Ive mentioned above, they are among the most exciting new young bands, all with some amazing tunes in their repertoire . You Should also try to catch opener BLEECH another superb live band. TOY a little psychedelic and another live band that unmissable.CHEETAHS have put out some great stuff this year, then we have the supremely gorgeous full of luscious synths WOMAN’S HOUR, with the similar synth led songs LYLA FOY a dreamy pop who previously had the moniker WALL with an outstanding song “Magazine” . American singer songwriter SAMANTHA CRAIN,  Welsh Singer-Songwriter CATE LE BON who appears to be moving away from the dark folk  sound to a more aggressive rock sound with her fantastic live band including Sweet Baboo in  up and finally on the Sunday Charles and Rebecca from the band SLOW CLUB who have produced the album everyone knew they were capable of in this weeks release “Complete Surrender” and be sure to catch the very talked about NORDIC GIANTS who have won awards for their film shorts played behind the band,

so see you all there have a great time and dont forget to see Paul Tonkinson in the comedy area
