Universe Story
----------------------------
An interactive storytelling
of the Universe Story, from the Big Bang 13 billion years ago, through
the creation of the stars, galaxies, planets, Earth, life on Earth and
our human journey on this planet.
Around 200,000 years
ago, a small tribe of the first humans appear in East Africa. Will they
survive starvation and attacks from wild animals? Can you help the early
humans survive? Come along, make your suggestions and see how the story
changes. And see what lessons we can learn from this episode for the
global challenges that we face today.

'Clepton
is a music band fromBarcelona
which is formed by four young man
since February of 2007. They do a kind of rock similar to indie rock
but they have some different influences (punk, jazz, ska, blues, pop
rock...) that give more personality.The
summer of last year they did some gigs and they finished with the most
important one, playing with
'Barón Rojo', a mythical metal band which has beenplaying since
25 years ago. After a year, they have recorded a demo of five songs
which is starting
to get popular in Catalonia. They are currently doing more gigs in
the area of Barcelona. Nevertheless, they will do a three-week England
tour in July which will give them more experience and sound maturity.

got together to play Wizzafest 08 on a whim because Alison enjoyed the

is local (top of Wizza hill!) and a bit new to this game so is hoping
this will count towards her coursework for ‘Performing for the Terrified’!
James is an experienced drummer who will be pushing the boundaries of
self control to play with brushes instead of sticks to accompany an
acoustic set of covers by artists including The Kooks and K T Tunstall.
A collective of musicians who have brought together various influences
to create something distinctly seedy. Their music is performed live
with synths, strings and electronic beats layered with live percussion,

Fell is singer/guitarist in The Fontanelles, a lo-fi-rock band from

London and the North with both the band and on his own, acoustic-stylee.
Expect to hear tunes from the Fontanelles' album "Three Finger
Salute" alongside new material and possibly an ill-advised cover
or two, depending on mood/cider intake.
"..great tunes, impassioned words... The Fontanelles sound like
ace indie dweebs Sebadoh kicking The Cribs out of bed or Pavement charging
at the day headlong. Check out 'Extasy' for a sound that's simultaneously
romantic, giddy and fun." - NME
"..US-influenced
catchy indie-rock akin to the poppier end of Nirvana mixed with Yo La
Tengo." - Silver Rocket Club, London
Ricky Russell is
a dance-inducing tunesmith from London with a political edge. Ricky's
probing lyrics and bluesy guitar and singing
is backed by a funky rhythm section and electronic grooves...a blend
that has invited comparisons with acts as varied as The Chemical Brothers,
The Streets and The Verve.
Ricky and his band have been gigging in the UK throughout 2008 and this
year's Wizzafest performance will be their third in a row - the party-loving
festival vibe fitting perfectly with the band's mix of entrancing beats
and sing-a-longable tunes.
Armed with a gang of friends - some Wizzafest regulars and some who'll
be new to the experience - this long weekend in July promises to be
a highlight of the Ricky Russell calendar, and we welcome all of you
to join in the fun.
Three Torches can
often be found digging holes and filling in holes around the Doncaster
area. When they get the time they play their music as often and as fast

are taking to the road to play as much as humanly possible. It is the
Three Torches debut at Wizzafest and we can't wait!

Month Ban
This
is 3 Month Ban's third trip to Wizzafest. In 2006, they constructed
their own stage from wooden debris by the camp fire, which almost
collapsed under the weight of the kit
half way through their set. Last year, the monsoon that engulfed the
Saturday night and caused the generator to blow, saw them take the stage
shortly before midnight. Luckily they avoided electrocution, and are
back for more punishment this year with some new contemporary covers
to get party started. Check out their myspace for a great clip of Are
You Gonna Be My Girl from last year's Wizzafest set. This is a fantastic
event - we always have a great time!

O'Donoghue sounds not unlike Roddy Frame doing Beatles ballads.Add a
little Ray Davies realism and maybe a touch of Haircut 100's strum-along
pop and you've got a real talent.Like a blast from a golden indie past,
these are cracking songs full of love, hope
and rejection.Excellent" - Piccadilly Records
Colin

and early-Elvis Costello as his influences. His music offers intelligent
lyrics woven around old-school pop melodies.
