God is a DJ

Admittedly, when the bands finish playing we will breath a sigh of relief! Hopefully, because it all ran smoothly, and there were no hiccups...
This is when the DJ's start.. And they've been a much easier job to organise; Im sure my sound engineer will agree.
Im extremely happy with the end of 'FESTIVAL' line up! We have the Audio Sculptors playing; the team of dj's who Reuben recently watched support The Scratch Perverts! We also have Drum and Bass MC Impact, a local talent from Gloucester. He also comes with a dj. And very recently confirmed we have Kandifunk.... I heard them play on a night out in Swindon last week, and was taken aback by their performance.. Funky beats with added percussion. Excellent dance music, upbeat and inkeeping with merry festival spirit.
Of course, 'local celebrity' muchly appreciated by most of the student community, Reuben himself will be performing an end of night set. Of course.. As usual this depends on how drunk he gets. A risk we're prepared to take.
