Dub Pistols Barry Ashworth has been added to the line up at this years Wilkestock Charity festival
30th Aug – 1st Sept 2019 – Join the revolution of the small, friendly festival packing a huge punch!

Yes we started small (just 30 people in a field!) and have grown like many other festivals, however, the home grown ethos and donating all profits to charity has never changed. What started off as a place for the various bands in our family to perform some 10 years ago has snowballed massively, through huge generosity of many people’s time and skills to create something we thought would never be possible. Back in 2007 with a small stage made out of milk crates borrowed from the local milkman and some scraps of plywood the Wilkestock era was created.
Many years followed, cobbling together equipment and people’s time all on a shoestring has created something incredibly unique to the UK festival scene. Gone are the milk crates, but the enthusiasm and passion strongly thrives more than ever. Here we are, in 2019, selling out of early bird tickets and gearing up for our 12th year. We can’t remember much about the first few but I guess that is a side effect of the many festival antics the Wilkestock field has produced! We are again donating all of the profits to charities close to our family’s hearts, Leukaemia Research (Beating Blood Cancer) and Keswick Mountain Rescue.

Dub Pistols – Wedgewood Rooms 2019

Oh no, here we go again… it’s the annual Dub Pistols at the Wedgewood Rooms Review. Only this time around, the mighty Pistoleros had something extra special up their sleeves. Thanks to Beats and Swings along with the Wedgewood Rooms, the legendary Ragga Twins were coming to Portsmouth.

Last year’s Wedgewood Rooms show was a superb yet crazy diamonds Saturday night, the previous being an epic 2-hour affair. Then there was the Dub Pistols appearance at Victorious, very much one of the Sunday highlights, ending a mucky weekend. The Pistols having had the festival crowd dancing in the mud and rain, while there was a threat of it having been cancelled altogether.

As for the annual return to the Wedge, Dub Pistols were ready to get the Portsmouth crowd jumping once again. Fronted by Barry Ashworth and MC Seanie Tee, the pair feed off each other brilliantly, while clearly lapping up the admiration from the crowd.

I’ve said it before, but Barry Ashworth and the Dub Pistols clearly love coming to Portsmouth, and so they should. With the performance in full swing, a couple of big numbers were put out early on in the set, before it was time to mix things up a bit.

Dub Pistols featuring the Ragga Twins

Introducing MC’s Deman Rocker and Flinty Badman to the stage, better known together as the Ragga Twins. Having already featured on the Pistols “Mad on the Road” this was, of course, a fantastic live track, but the energy, in general, was off the scale. Both Barry Ashworth and Seanie Tee remained on the mic, as all 4 vocalists bounced off one another as if this was a regular occurrence.

However this wasn’t your average gig, in fact, that’s what makes Dub Pistols such a great act, there’s always something new to appreciate. The moment Beats and Swings announce the Wedgewood Rooms show, you know it’s going to be one of the gigs of the year. Just when booking tickets, there’s still uncertainty of what you’re going to get. Sometimes there’s been Rodney P instead of Seanie Tee, other times both and then tonight it was all about the Ragga Twins.

The Dub Pistols are already a contradiction of styles, with influences of rock n roll mixed with drum n bass, breakbeats and plenty of dirty bass lines. However, throw in a couple of London’s finest jungle MC’s and you’ve got one hell of a party. As to how the Dub Pistols are going to top the Wedgewood Rooms show next year, well that’s anyone’s guess.

 

A music festival without mud.
Where people open gates for you, say “excuse me” and move aside to let you to the bar. Where the tantalising aromas of great food mix with the nostalgic smell of steam from the resident railway, conjuring up memories of a bygone industrial age.

Where both young and old come to share new music experiences, together.
Where the sound of live music is everywhere whilst you wander through a fascinating museum dedicated to life in Rural England.
And where fans laugh, smile and nod to each other with a familiarity gained only from their mutual annual pilgrimage.

Sound too good? Not so. That’s Weyfest.

Weyfest is more like a mini-holiday than a music festival. It is a stress-free weekend in the country, with over 30 hours of the finest music, camping, posh loos, friendly staff and plenty to occupy the kids with music, drama and creative arts workshops, train rides and the many attractions offered by the open-air museum which is the venue itself – The Rural Life Centre, Tilford, set in the outstanding natural beauty of the Surrey Hills.

You can stretch out your picnic rugs or wander around the site to the 4 stages with your camping chairs. Sit and watch your favourite band or discover new artists from the eclectic mix on offer, or just find a quiet spot to watch the world go by.

The festival attracts new people every year – many of whom have not been to a festival for years for fear of mud and rude or drunken behaviour (there’s none of that here!) and many who have never even been to a music festival before! Most have made new friends and now return each year for a reunion.

The venue itself is also a major reason for Weyfest’s increasing popularity. The Rural Life Centre is a working museum, littered with artefacts of past country life and craft displays throughout the venue. Is there another festival in the world with a working light railway, running both steam and diesel trains around the perimeter of the venue? And because the venue is so compact, everything is within easy reach. No trudging for miles from the car park or campsite, no long walks between stages … and no major journey to reach the excellent food and bars!

Once bitten you will truly be smitten!
We look forward to greeting you this year – and every year.

The Weyfest Team
