‘The most intelligently curated festival in the UK’ Mojo magazine
One of the most influential festivals in the UK, artists who played when Jo & Danny ran it include The National, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Jarvis Cocker, Laura Marling, Four Tet and many more.
Always in bands at the same time as promoting gigs, Jo & Danny started with The Buzz Club at The West End Centre in Aldershot. The artists they booked reads like a ‘who’s who’ of the independent scene: The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Blur, Suede, The Manic Street Preachers, Primal Scream, The Charlatans, Spiritualzed, Elastica and loads more.
