Sounds Like: FUN! And what our press people say:
Kent’s coolest festival, ‘Lounge On The Farm’ returns for its third outing on the weekend of 11-13th July 2008 and it’s even bigger and bolder than before with increased capacity and new stages! 2007’s event established ‘Lounge On The Farm’ as a heavyweight festival with a uniquely local twist and 2008 is set to take the extravaganza to the next level. Set in the idyllic surrounds of Merton Farm in Canterbury, ‘Lounge On The Farm’s rustic charms will play host to 160 bands spread across 6 stages, from local heroes and cutting edge acts to renowned heavy hitters.
Lounge On The farm’s line up is an eclectic snapshot of a vibrant music scene having established itself as both an event that supports local break-through talent and brings the big boys to the garden of England. Boy-girl frat party rockers Black Kids and bang bang rock n rollers Art Brut are amongst the first acts to be announced this year, in a line up that also features Jon Carter, Dub Pistols Sound System, Sargasso Trio, Pete Molinari, erstwhile Dexy's frontman Kevin Rowland and Aba Shanti Sound System. Plus there will be bands from lauded indie stable 1965 Records, Sonny J, Kitty Daisy & Lewis, Holly Golightly & The Broke Offs, Underground Heroes, Guy Williams, Bones and local legend Billy Childish and that’s just for starters.
With an ethos firmly rooted in the local community the heartbeat of Lounge On The Farm is ‘The Village Green’ where people come to meet, eat, drink and be merry enjoying the hospitality provided by an array of concessions from the surrounding community. From the hand reared pigs on the Hog Roast and the fine 3 course dining experience of The Goods Shed gypsy caravan restaurant, to all of the fruit and veg that is grown within a 20 mile radius of the festival site, Lounge On The Farm’s buy local, eat seasonal policy means that the food on offer will outshine every other festival around and we haven’t even mentioned the drink yet.
Lounge On The Farm is proud to announce the arrival of a very special cider for 2008! Brewed locally by Rick Stein Food Heroes Pawley Farm using a traditional Kentish recipe of course, the specially blended cider has been fermented in aged oak barrels since the festival's inaugural outing in 2006, making for an exclusive mouth-watering tonic! Hopdaemon Beers will also be running their own micro bar, using Kent's famous hops and age-old brewing methods showcasing Golden Braid, a fine summer ale, Green Daemon, a natural pilsner and Skrimshander for something a touch darker.
As a festival geared to all ages, this year sees The Little Lounge expanding to cater for even more new-borns and up, from toddlers to teenagers. There will be plenty of workshops to keep the kids interested with the local circus school adding to the last year's repertoire that includes beatboxing, kite making and DJing. There’s also the Red Tent for tots that will be providing baby yoga, reiki for new parents and mothers meeting! This year will also see the School of Rock, a countywide battle of the bands from local schools that is sure to unearth Kent’s next superstars. Music for Change will also bring drumming and story telling from all corners of the world.
With their non-corporate stance and a commitment to supporting local business and bands, Lounge On The Farm is the cream of the Kentish crop and a world apart from all the identikit festivals on the calendar.
