London mini-festival has rural feel

Return Of The Rural, a free-entry two-day mini-festival in London's EC2, has announced its line-up including Beth Orton, James Yorkston and DJ sets from Kieran Hebden.

The line up has been announced for an interesting mini-festival taking place in London this weekend. Return Of The Rural takes place next to the 'not-all-that-rural' Griffin Pub on Leonard Street in EC2.

The events organisers explain: "Return Of The Rural adopts a pastoral approach to two days of live music, DJs and other pastimes. The line up takes in the best of both established and up and coming live acts around today; musicians that tread the line between traditional songwriting and forward thinking experimentation with ease. In an atmosphere reminiscent of a 1940's village fayre, Return Of The Rural offers London dwellers the chance to drink, dance and enjoy".

The rural feel will come from the haybales, tombola, welly boot throwing and hog roast. Music wise you're talking Clinic, Half Cousin, Leaf Cutter John, James Yorkston, Beth Orton, MCraft and The Zillions plus DJ sets from Kieran Hebden and EYOE DJs.

It all takes place from 2pm on Sat and Sun. Admission is free but you need a ticket - more info from [email protected]
