No Direction Home Festival
8th - 10th June, Welbeck Estate, Nottinghamshire (only 30 minutes from
Sheffield and 1 1/2 - 2 hours from London)
www.nodirectionhomefestival.com
A brand new festival from the team behind the End of the Road, No Direction Home this year makes its first outing at the Welbeck Estate in the northern reaches of Sherwood Forest, with a stellar bill headed by The Low Anthem, Dirty Three, Andrew Bird, Gruff Rhys and Richard Hawley. It is the first time that this historic and beautiful setting, first mentioned as far back as the Domesday Book, will play host to a festival.
A main stage is to be built by a lake with views of the ancient abbey and there will be music, merriment and new twists on everything you'd expect from the End of the Road team including a cinema from The Lost Picture Show, comedy, literature, instrument making, swing dancing, pub quizzes and DJs at The Flying Boating Society, demos, talks & tastings from The School of Artisan Food, a secret post office, sack racing, art installations, 100s of workshops, organic food, real ale, the Somerset Cider Bus and much more.
The brand new album from Tom Williams & The Boat entitled Teenage Blood is now streaming exclusively in it's entirety on CLASH for the entire week before it's official release next Monday!
Featuring the singles, Teenage Blood and My Bones listen to it here:
