Diego Brown

Diego Brown & the Good Fairy

Whithout doubt one of the most popular musical acts ever to play HESFES now making a very welcome return.

Expect much in the way of audience participation, visual entertainment and musical mirth. Sheds of mirth in fact. More like garages of mirth. In fact aircraft hangers of mirth.

A lot of mirth.

Featuring many an old favourite as well as newer mind expanding songs.

Excited pop pickers?
Not ‘arf!

DO NOT MISS. Or you sir.

"Just Me Again show so much potential and I can easily see there name up on a giant neon sign with the words “sold out” plastered next to it... The songs are laden with hooks that keep me humming way after they have left the stage and they definitely bring the most energy out onto the stage.”
- Brendan Monteiro (Clink Music Magazine)

The Lost Audio

A tight rock/alt/funk band from London.

After earning themselves a formidable reputation as a charismatic and convincing live act, The Lost Audio seem perfectly placed to convert their ambition and devotion to the art of music making into genuine success.

So while youre listening, or soaking up their infectious energy at a gig, try to imagine a future where The Lost Audio arent one of the UKs biggest new bands. Cant be done, can it?

Spider

Spider

A DJ of many years experience, though, unfortunately not as a DJ.

Only kidding, Spider did his first HESFES gig back in 2000. We can’t actually remember that far back but he did drink some Tequila and people did dance so it must have been good.

Expect a selection of classic rock, punk and ska plus more Tequila inspired madness.
