50 notes by the end of march sounds perfectly do-able. Just paid off Glasto balance so bit short til payday. But on the basis of youtube in this thread, count me in.

*just re-read that and it sounds like i'm basing a return on youtube - like I need an excuse! *

This is on our 'thinking about it' list for 2010, as recommended by Flip.

Long journey for us from Wales, but we just might get some transport help ...

Joy Circuit

Joy Circuit creates an atmosphere. his music speaks for itself. Tracks such as 'Never', the hauntingly evocative ‘Absent Friends’ and the brand new 'All Around Us’ are inspiring ordinary people from all around the World. His creations have the ability to lift the spirit, alter moods and transport you to a different place and time.Joy Circuit like all true artists, started his career as the ultimate music fan. Immersing himself in the New Romanticism and Synth based sounds that defined the 1980’s and 1990’s, he spent his time hanging around Venues just waiting for the chance to prove himself. Coming across a keyboard at the age of 21, he started to tinker. Amazed by the sounds he was able to create, the metamorphosis into Joy Circuit had begun.

Joy Circuit consists of 3 synth players and 2 singers!

Honkey Dub

Honky Dub was formed in 2006 by Matty A (live synths and programing) and Phil C (bass). The aim was to produce a live psychedelic dub sound on stage and in the studio. Matt and Phil first met in December 1998 when Matt joined Celtica (a band Phil had been in for a number of years).(myspace/planetceltica). Ali W. an old friend and accomplished musician who also shared a passion for electronica and dub became the 3rd member of Honky Dub bringing a new dimension to the digidub project with the traditional Indian sound of the serangi. Honky Dub quickly started to earn a reputation as a live outfit on the UK festival scene.

Jon Gomm again is brilliant news. Fantastic musician.

Will it be the Jolly Brewer again doing the bar? I really think their attitude was superb, the prices were more than fair, and the beer was tastier than most.

Lunarsonic

Lunarsonic is the solo project of Mark Hasdell (the guitar and didgeridoo half of Zetan Spore). This project was started early in 2007 and combines lush psychedelic dub and chill-out sounds with didgeridoo and acoustic guitar; and forays into tribal breakbeats and occasional electric guitar. The music is inspired by the full moon over the cornish moors and the ancient woods, coastlines and hills of Cornwall where he lives.

The London Underground

The hottest live dance act to hit the stage this decade. With there totally original sound and endless supply of catchy shoe tapping tunes, They are already proving to be a hit amongst the masses.

The concept behind "Tha London Undaground" is to perform live house & electro music with live instrumentalists and live vocals, preferably through the groups own sound system, which they perform through at every given opportunity.

For those that may be getting a little worried, most of the bands booked so far are for the Mushroom, more acoustic-ish bands will follow!
