This year, the End of the Road festival is running a special unsigned stage. The acts playing said stage have now been confirmed.

The annual event - held at Larmer Tree Gardens from September 14-16 - invited acts to submit material for consideration via their MySpace site, here. The 'winners' are:

Actress Hands, It Hugs Back, Michael J Sheehy, My Sad Captains, Napoleon IIIrd, Paul Marshall (pictured), Peggy Sue & the Pirates, Salter Cane, Strange Idols, The Wave Pictures

Comments Paul Marshall: "It's bizarre how me and James (Napoleon IIIrd) both got picked, as we live really close to one another." Yes, you do. And we like you both. Bravo!

I only hope

that Peggy Sue & The Pirates get into a big fight with the also billed Pete & The Pirates.

Also, this is going to be fantastic.
