From bedroom anonymity to the front lines of British electronic music in little over six years: Matt Gill is a true rising star.

His tracks have featured on Radio MK, 2FM and Unity Radio in the UK, and his third release, Miscommunicate, was championed on Kiss FM and the Resident Advisor charts by Ukrainian techno hero Vitaliy Spartaque. Matt's distinct production style draws influence from all corners of the house-electro-techno spectrum, with angular snippets of melody carried to the heart of the dancefloor atop dark, pounding bass lines and galloping synthetic drum tracks. He lists Ali Shirazinia, John Digweed, Adam Walder and Joel Zimmerman amongst his principal influences. - Symbiosis Sound System

Maha Dev's Quintessence
The original 1970's psychedelic rock band 'Quintessence', has been reformed by original rhythm guitarist Maha Dev. Back on the festival trail after 40 years, Maha Dev's Quintessence have been performing live for the last two years, leading up to incredible performances at Sonic Rock festival 2010, Glastonbury 2010 and finishing off the summer at the Limetree festival 2010.
When Maha Dev's Quintessence performed on the 'Rabbit hole' & 'Glade' stages at this year's 40th Glastonbury Festival, Phil 'Shiva' Jones joined them, for the first time in 37 years. Shiva and Maha Dev were both members of the original Quintessence back in the seventies.
- Becks & The Bullets
More Info
The idea of Alex Turner forsaking the Artic Monkeys to start a ska-punk band might send shivers down a few spines, but the reality might not be too hideous, if Becks and the Bullets are anything to go by.
A bunch of keen Yorkshire folk playing jazzy,brass-heavy pop and punkish pop-rock,The Bullets are headed by Becky Roberts. The singer-guitarist seems to fancy herself as a female equivalent of the Monkeys frontman,penning tracks that examine the minutiae of small-town life with a precise eye.Judging by their material so far Becks and the Bullets are worth keeping an eye on. - Krystle Warren - Cancelled
We are sad to announce that unfortunately Krystle has had to cancel, she was kind enough to issue the following statement: “Howdy. Krystle here. I'm afraid a visit to Limetree this year is off for me. Many reasons, all boring. Big, big love and apologies to everyone who had saved the date. I really wish I could be there... Next year? Fingers firmly crossed. Enjoy the fest for me, please. Take care, kw” We will be announcing some other exciting additions to our bill ove the next two days, one a giant of 70's prog rock!!!!

More Info
"We have worked together for the last 18 months on numerous duo gigs from the usual wedding receptions to the slightly bizarre - playing in shop windows (literally on the window ledge as we dont take up much room) and will be performing in a pie shop very soon to which we have a large following on twitter who want to shake meracas just to say they've played in one! We like wierd gigs! I want us to play in a petrol station or a garden centre next!" - Camper Van Spaces
Unfortunately we have now sold out of Camper Van spaces, we apologise if this causes anyone any problems, but we have to limit the amount available as we have such precious space that we want to ensure everyone's comfort.
