Those who read this page in the early days, would have seen us billed as Kemble Festival, an unnamed festival at Kemble Airfield, near Cirencester. For many reasons, Kemble is no longer a possibility as a venue for us, and so the hunt for a new site began, and is almost done. We've wittled it down to the top two venues and will be announcing our home in the near future.
Happy GiGging!

A: Theres no reason why not....we have a main stage, a New Music Village, and Halo Havana...send us a link to your page and we'll check you out. We put on other gigs locally, so you could well play at one of those over the next year too.
We get a lot of msgs from bands...so tell us if you're up for gigging over the next year at one of the gigs we're putting on, or invite us to a gig you've got coming up!

has anybody read James Joyce: Ulysses ???
or seen the kids TV programm Ulysses from the 80's?
Ulysses is a 1922 novel by James Joyce, first serialised in parts in the American journal The Little Review from 1918 to 1920, and published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach on February 2, 1922, in Paris. It is an important work of Modernist literature.Ulysses chronicles the passage through Dublin by its main character, Leopold Bloom, during an ordinary day, June 16, 1904. The title alludes to the hero of Homer's Odyssey (Latinised into Ulysses), and there are many parallels, both implicit and explicit, between the two works (e.g. the correlations between Leopold Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus). June 16 is now celebrated by Joyce's fans worldwide as Bloomsday.Ulysses is a massive novel: 250,000 words in total from a vocabulary of 30,000 words, with most editions weighing in at between 644 to 1000 pages, and divided into 18 chapters, or "episodes" as they are referred to in most scholarly circles. The book has been the subject of much controversy and scrutiny, ranging from early obscenity trials to protracted textual "Joyce Wars". Today the novel is regarded as a masterwork in Modernist writing, celebrated for its groundbreaking stream-of-consciousness technique, highly experimental prose—full of puns, parodies, allusions—as well as for its rich characterizations and broad humour.
