"The sold out one-day festival takes place not in one of Nottingham’s conventional venues, but in the Art Organisation – a recently regenerated, previously derelict building that ‘offers opportunities for the introduction of the arts to the community’. With a local art exhibition and ‘zine collection on display, as well as a multitude of exotic teas for sale, you would struggle to find a more appropriate setting for such an independent label." by Joshua Cole
"One thing nobody can dispute is that their choice of pre-show entertainment is at least fitting bearing in mind the surroundings hosting tonight's event; formerly a hardware store for tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts collectively, the latest addition to the national project of self-funded art organisations seems almost too perfect, right down to the crystalline sound, that one can only wonder why no one came up with the idea of using it as a live music venue beforehand." by Dom Gourlay,
