2000 tickets and shedloads of talent... Englands finest boutique festival is back on the 1-3 August in Hertfordshire. No wanky back stage, no stupidly expensive ticket price (£69-£89). Standon raises money for Phoenix Futures charity and is, refreshingly, all about the music. http://www.standon-calling.com

Who's game?
JAG?
If it is it's a good one, pretty superb line up methinks. On Pre's myspace page it says that Melt Banana are playing, can someone confirm if this is true or not?
Well...
We're just trying to sort out travel arrangements...
it's in the melting pot definitely
fingers crossed!
tis
good
CAGE THE ELEPHANT
ARE THE MOST ROFL BAND I KNOW
cracking
live band.
they are comedy rap-rock
there's nothing wrong with comedy...
don't you like laughing?
that's why i was rofl
they are the most rofl band i know
I haven't heard them
But surely one band you don't like on a line up is not so bad when the likes of Acid Mother's Temple, Pre, The Mae Shi, Los Camp are all playing?
you are correct
ipso facto, hatcham social, florence and the machine
mystery jets obv
its mostly win
Exactly
I like Standon's ethos - they're great for up and coming bands, unsigned acts and things. And it is a staggering line up considering its only 2000 tickets..
Where in Hertfordshire is Standon?
I live in Welwyn Garden City, please tell me it's not too far from there...
Standon - location
Ware, Herts. 15 minutes
Hertford¨ 15 minutes
Stansted 25 minutes
Excellent
Thanks for the info! :-)
I'm excited about..
Elle S'appelle, The Brute Chorus and the Cocknbull Kid.
Is it Dave Haslam from the Hacienda? Who wrote those books?
Yeah same Dave
And good choices with Elle S'appelle and the Brute Chorus - both great festival bands.
Never seen Cocknbull but quite like her style. Either that, or I quite like the fact that Metronomy has worked with her and Joseph's a legend...
Yeah it's Hacienda Dave who wrote 'Manchester, England', 'Adventures on the Wheels of Steel' and another one I think.
T
Is this still in the organiser's
back garden? (II understand it's a pretty big garden...)
YES!
Comedy innit.
It's in some fields by his house. Apparently there's a swimming pool and stuff.
Not too sure how far it is from Welwyn, maybe google it. Can't imagine it's too far though...
Ooooh
I definitely want to go to this.
I've heard brilliant things - my mates went last year and said that everyone had bottles of detox smoothie outside their tents on the last day! How sweet!
hmmmm
tickets!
