Join Us At Lounge On The Farm
The mother of all festivals, Glastonbury, ended last week and I still feel horrifically rough. It’s the epic size and scale of the event that has turned the week-long party into kind of personal challenge and making it back alive deserves some sort of military medal!
We’re not going to let one festival defeat us but we need something much smaller and more chilled out.
The perfect alternative begins next week and it goes by the name of Lounge on the Farm. It’s easily one of the most chilled out festivals in the UK and winner of awards including Best Line-up 2009, Best Music Festival for Foodies and Greener Festival Award for Sustainability.
Headliners this year are Hercules and Love Affair (Friday), Martha Reeves & The Vandellas (Saturday) and Toots & The Maytals (Sunday) as well as other stellar acts throughout.
The best news of all folks is that The Mahogany Sessions (our newly launched acoustic video channel) will be there throughout the weekend filming some amazing acoustic performances from some of the hottest acts!
Let us know if you’re heading down and we’ll arrange a big Mahogany beer session during DJ Yoda!
We’ll keep you posted on what we’re planning but in the meantime here are a couple of slightly smaller acts we can’t wait to see.
Coco Lovers -- Time To Stand

RIP Macbook Pro
I didn’t think it was possible but my most prized possession has died on me.
As a result, there aren’t some of the vital blogging tools needed to put up songs to download however the good news is the repair shop will have it back to me by the end of the week.
For now, we’re going to stick to great videos and other songs that we’ve uploaded but not published.
Back From Glastonbury!
Returned (just about) from Glasto about 10 minutes ago.
There hasn’t been a post since June 16th and we’re about to start typing frantically — so much music to put out for you over the next week.
We had a going away message letting everyone know that we’re away but unfortunately forgot to press Publish!!
Check back tomorrow for some serious music!
Good to be back…
