Bert Miller And The Animal Folk

“born in totnes in the mind of a small boy, ‘bert miller and the ANIMAL folk’ are a curious band that are starting to grow hair on their face and testicles...with the drum kit split between them everyone can expect a bit of a stomp while bert growls his words of wisdom like a man possessed. their songs are by turn eccentrically happy and darkly funny with moments of great warmth and affection that wholly expose bert’s unadulterated love for ANIMALS.

That's the best way to describe the unique and spirited work of Jonny Dubowsky, lead singer of the popular rock band Jonny Lives, and founder of Rock'n'Renew, a non-profit organization that educates youth about global warming and the sustainability of our planet. "I have seen the powerful effect of uniting people to make even the smallest earth-saving changes in their daily lives," Jonny Dubowsky says.

Loxy

Loxy began raving (Jedi training) in 89/90 at events like telepathy and just fell for the culture. Got serious and decided to become a part of the movement and perfected his craft soon after. Being from the B-Boy backgorund, it wasn't totally alien getting into the vibe of this new phenomenon - which was then known as acid house, soon to become what we know and love as drum & bass. Loxy's first dj gigs were in 1990 at Psychotic and Time events.

Billy No Fear

Billy No Fear was formed in early 2009, originally calling themselves Coat & Curtains. After being sued by a haberdashery in Norwich, the band were forced to change their name. The trio consists of Philip Elbourne, Jo Marsh and Emily-Ruth Warren, French students at the University of Chester, who since graduating have moved in together and adopted a pet goat (Billy). Their genre of music has been defined as "Folk Abba", but they deny this, preferring to describe their style as 'Kinetic Folk' because of their cheeky dance routines and hypnotising hand movements.
