Local festival fans must hurry to get best Gathering tickets

Locals have only a few days left to get exclusive access to tickets for the Godney Gathering before they go on sale to a wider public.

The gathering, which takes place on Saturday, July 16, has secured not one, but two top notch headline acts in Reef and Toploader.

The Academy of Carnival in association with Total Star are organising the event which also features sets from StringerBessant, The Joe Public, Rude Tiger, Shoot The Moon and Total Star.

West Country based Reef started life in 1993, when their first demo tape was snapped up by Sony S2 and the band spent the next 12 months touring.

Five albums followed, Replenish in 1995, followed by Glow, Rides, Getaway and Together.

With more than two million album sales to their name, Toploader are currently putting the finishing touches to their third studio album at Hook End Studios.

The album is named Only Human and is their first since 2002's Magic Hotel.

Now a four-piece comprising Joseph Washbourn, Dan Hipgrave, Matt Knight and Rob Green, Toploader have teamed up with label Underdogs Music and are eager to begin playing live again.

StringerBessant (Gary Stringer and Jack Bessant, frontman and bassist of Somerset-based Reef) have been making waves on the acoustic scene having released their debut album Yard.

In a short time, Shoot The Moon have made an impact on the ska punk community.

Shoot The Moon have played some prestigious shows and venues including The John Peel Stage at the Glastonbury Festival in 2007 and playing with the legendary Madness and DJ Scratchy back in January 2008.

The Joe Public played Glastonbury Festival at just 17 years of age, and now, two years later, have played more than 250 shows across the UK.

Following a summer signing to indie label Saint Grace Music, the band embarked on a 15-date UK tour to promote the commercial release of their debut single Skin, and are currently back in the studio recording the second EP.

A high quality sound system, laser lighting display, video projection and live video screens will go towards making Godney Gathering special.

Tickets are on sale locally with an Earlybird price of �15 (plus booking fee) to personal callers at the following venues, cash sales only, and will cease to be available from March 31, Tor Records, in Glastonbury on 01458 834836 and Jaywalk Guitars in Street on 01458 441141.

From Friday, April 1, tickets will be available for �17.50, from a wide variety of venues across mid-Somerset and beyond and online at www.bristolticketshop. co.uk or by phone on 0870 4444400.
