I have performed at the Big Green Gathering festival and Glastonbury Festival several times, as Tor Rubble. Some of these performances where with SENSE3D walk around portable nautilus sound system
and with The Toretz at Vibraphonic Festival, Endorse-it Festival 3 times, Beautiful Days Festival, Big Green Gathering Festival,Thames Festival , Air Fusion Festival, and Plymouth Punk Festival, Feast For All festival, and with bands such as The Blockheads, Asian Dub Foundation, The Subhumans, LTJ Bukem, Bad Manners, Here & Now, Nik Turner, The Planet Smashers, Los Albertos, Obedient Bone, Too Hot and many more
and With Sunfish at the Sunrise Festival, Waveform Project festival, Big Green Gathering, Exy Festival, Ode Festival, and Fordstock Festival and
Sunfish were "Professional, energised, polished and seriously danceable. Without doubt the best dance act ever to appear at Fordstock." (Drum, Fordstock Festival)
"Sunrise Celebration 2007" Sunfish were the perfect way to experience a unique and beautifully inspiring Sunrise 2007. As the party people united to Sunfish's euphoric anthems the first rays of the new day filled Cat's Cradle geodome. A magnificent sunrise on so many different levels. Sunfish left us breathless. A repeat preformance is definately on the cards, bring on 2008. (Alice / Cats Cradle)
"Sunfish performed a truly wicked set at the Cat's Cradle stage at Sunrise Celebration in the small hours of Saturday night. They managed to bring in the crowds from all around, with people jumping to their tunes from the very start until the end of their hour-long set. Their mixture of trance, funky beats and Ali's vocals kept the crowds energised throughout. We were really lucky to get them and can't wait for the next opportunity to host a Sunfish gig. They are the the ideal band to keep the party-goers up on their feet throughout the night." (Paul / Cats Cradle)
