BLOC booking

OK, enough ranting and time for some great news: this humble little site is going to be one of the sponsors of next year's Bloc Weekend in the UK. Taking place between March 14th and 16th in the Pontins holiday camp just outide Great Yarmouth, it's the festival's second installment. The line-up has yet to be 100% confirmed, but there are showcases promised from Underground Resistance and Rephlex, so watch this space (or the Bloc website) for more information. I'll be posting interviews with and podcasts of artists on the line-up in the run-up to the event - as soon as I have more news, I'll let you all know.

If you don't mind me asking, how does a blog sponsor an event? Where does the finance come from?

@Fr.Deveraux i guess it's media sponsorship where the media (this blog) would promote the concept/program/artists for that event

nice. dont know if youve seen the UR live show but it is amazing.

[Brophy]

without getting into specifics it;'s a media sponsorship thing

Tom:yeah., saw the full live UR band (including Mad Mike) in 2005 in Dublin and they were amazing

we're delighted to have the support of mr brophy - but of course it is a partnership rather than a financial arrangement. a great platform for interviews and music from the artists that are performing next year.

we will have more lineup news soon and you can expect an announcement about the full lineup in november with updates on this most hallowed of online publications...

Thanks George! to everyone else, I hope to have some great Bloc-related stuff on the site to get you in the mood over the coming months.
