Mini Glastonbury festival goes down well in Stoke Mandeville


Published on Monday 25 August 2008 16:26

TWO brothers from Stoke Mandeville launched a mini Glastonbury-style festival for music lovers to visit and indulge in a day of eclectic sounds and festival spirit yesterday.

Nineteen-year-old Ed Moore and his older brother Will, enlisted an impressive bill of rising stars, some of whom have played at massive events such as the Glastonbury and V festivals.

The brothers, helped by their brother-in-law, Chris Dominey sweet-talked the bands, including local artists, to play a small and personal session to the people of Aylesbury in a one-off event, named the Summer Sound Clash.

Ed, who is also a dj, commented: "I believe it's the first type of festival that has been organised like this, and by a 19 year old."

Mr Dominey works in the music industry and, by tapping into his long list of contacts, managed to convince friends and colleagues to join the line up.

"We didn't want the festival to be huge, the idea was to make it for the people of Aylesbury who really love their music. We expected about 500 people", he enthused.

"Its a series of bands and dj's; a real mixture of music, with some electronic music, and hip hop, and some light-hearted stuff, so that explains the name 'Summer Sound Clash'.

The event was held in a field that belongs to Ed and Will's family and a marquee was erected to hold the festival goers with a large barbecue going throughout the day to feed everybody.
