A bit about Jo & Danny:
Jo Bartlett and Danny Hagan are two musicians who are probably best known as the founders and curators of the Green Man Festival in Wales.
‘The most intelligently curated festival in the UK’ Mojo magazine
One of the most influential festivals in the UK, artists booked to perform by Jo & Danny 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 while still teenagers. 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.
Jo & Danny are delighted to welcome you to The Wake!
