The Acoustic Festival Of Britain 2008 Line up Saturday 24th May

Marillion

Marillion have been making progressive rock since they formed in 1979. With a cult following and a career that is notable for having progressed steadily with the times, Marillion’s music has been likened to that of bands as diverse as Pink Floyd and Radiohead. 'There are a million bands who kick ass, but just a few, like Marillion, who really move people' (Kerrang).

Jah Wobble

Jah Wobble has always managed to surprise, delight and confound his core audience. Never following dictates of record marketing men, he provides continued creativity and invention. A fantastic aural journey through dub, world, ambient and avant-rock music, as Jah paints his entrancingly dark, textural soundscapes.
