Canterbury

CROW formed like a sonic phoenix from the ashes of previous alternative outfit DOOR MARKED SUMMER. Unlike DOOR MARKED SUMMER, who had an unyielding and sometimes chaotic sound produced by 2 drummers, 2 guitarists, a bass player and a didgeridoo, CROW stripped down and focused on a lighter and more introspective mood. This was a dramatic move away from the 'all out' power and angst that the more punk DMS had.

Gong are a progressive rock band formed by Australian musician Daevid Allen. Their music has also been described as space rock. The various incarnations of Gong, its spin-offs and related bands are collectively dubbed the "Gong Global Family". They were formed in 1967, after Allen - then a member of Soft Machine - was denied entry to the United Kingdom due to a visa complication. Allen remained in France where he and a London-born Sorbonne professor, Gilli Smyth, established the first incarnation of Gong.

Syd Arthur are an exciting new band from the South East of the country, at the forefront of the young musical explorers whose unique sound has been making waves far beyond their native Canterbury. Their highly eclectic sound encompasses folk, world, psychedelic, jazz, prog and rock music, showcasing original song writing, inter-weaved with instrumental freak-outs. “A melting pot of funk, soul, progressive rock, jazz and psychedelia – not to be missed!” – Furthur Productions
