The Line up for Peace Tent at Chaos, Guernsey- Music Festival

The Peace Tent, has announced that the line-up for the Peace Tent at this years Chaos Weekender, will be released early this year. With the success of last years event, acts have been quick to confirm their interest in taking part this year. I for one, hope we get to see a return of Pin-Hole Burns, whose set last year was one of my highlights.

Dartington International Summer School

In 2005 I experienced the whole five weeks at Dartington International Summer School, I enjoyed it so much, for several years after I volunteered as a trog for a couple of weeks each year. I ended up working so hard and intensively the friendships I made there are really strong and the temptation is to keep going back. I will need to decide quite soon if I will attend this year either as a volunteer or join the ranks of loyal participants at one of Britain's best loved music summer schools.

More Chaos News

Yesterday, there was movement on the Peace Tent Facebook site, with the updating the the group's description.

Every year at Greenman Guernsey MCC's Chaos weekend The Peace Tent teleports down from deep space to provide a third spoke to Chaos weekend’s musical front wheel. We have looked into the future can see that this year’s tent will be as difficult to describe as ever. Expect the ‘usual’ (ahem!) fully immersive UV environment, alien artefacts, non-stop wonky music, Cramps O’Clock, bad dancing, comfy sofas, random brown caffeinated beverages, cheese based toasted bread snax and of course a bar.

We'll be open along with the rest of the festival at midday Friday 13th July 2012 and carry on well into the evening of Sunday 15th July..............

Nerd Nights in Guernsey

Meeting in The Gallery, Mansell Street (top of Mill Street in the Old Quarter), Nerd Night promises to be really interesting and looking at the facebook group here, some of the islands top hacker/makers are going to be in attendance. Quothe:

"If you...

...live to make things.
...aren’t afraid to make mistakes and learn from them.

...don’t use things the way the manufacturer intended.

...look at the things around you and think “I could make that better”.

...love to open things up to find out how they work."

James Dumbelton's Dawn Chorus

Second treat tonight actually, as it is stupid time in the morning and this is what I'm listening to, for the second time! This is James' debut album and he has put the whole thing on sound cloud which is a very good thing indeed.


Listen to the whole of Dawn Chorus on Soundcloud - its beautyful!

Tonight The Skies

Todays treat is Tonight The Skies' Tropic, a demo in which all the way through, you can hear nice little touches.


James Le Huray and Hollie Martorella continue to show great promise - it must be E.P. time surely!

Oddsocks - The Merry Wives of Windsor

Last week at St James in Guernsey, Oddsocks showed their version of Merry Wives of Windsor. It was not a play I knew, but I spotted lots of Shakespeare's favourite themes - young love conquering, confused fools, wise women helping a bad man get his comeuppance, and a fantastic uplifting end scene. I had heard mixed reviews about the amount of technology in the company's shows, but I thought that Merry Wives got it right in that it was not only functional - helping set changes - but entertaining in it's own right. 

The main thing that would draw me back into the theatre to see Oddsocks, is their great cast of actors, the extremely enjoyable writing and the cracking set design.

They are in Jersey till tomorrow!
