Glastonbury Festival 2009 - UPDATE
After tickets went on sale earlier than ever for Glasto 09, it looks like the success of this summer's festival is still ringing in people's ears as over half the tickets have already been sold. Which just goes to show what a bit of sunshine and a controversial booking can do for you!
Register online (or you can use your reg number from this year's festival if you ticked the "remember my details" box when you registered for Glasto 08) and buy tickets at www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk. This year for the very first time you can put down a £50 deposit to secure your ticket, paying the balance in February.
Now, it might feel weird to book tickets to a festival when you dont know any of the acts playing, but Glasto is so vast and diverse that you're sure to find something to your liking. The only other thing is...do you think the Met Office can do an eight month advance weather forecast...?

Free the Plymouth Two
Dance music magazine Mixmag has just launched a campaign to highlight the cause of Dance Academy owner Manoucehr Bahmanzadeh and DJ Tom Costelloe who were jailed earlier this summer for allegedly allowing drug dealing to take place in the Dance Academy. We covered this story last month, but Mixmag have looked at it from a wider angle - read it here - and join the campaign.
Appeals have been lodged for both Manoucehr and Tom but they are likely to take take a long time to come back to court. We will be keeping you up to date with this as and when developments happen, but in the meantime, read the article and join the campaign to Free the Plymouth Two.
MOONLIGHT SURF'S UP THIS SATURDAY!
THE RED BULL MOONLIGHTER sessions will take place at Putsborough Beach, located at the far end of Woolacombe Bay in North Devon on 4 Oct. The surf session is all about good times – there’s no competition, just good swell (hopefully). Starting at 6.30pm, there will be a bar and music at around 8.30pm, then the party will move on to a local venue. With the Red Bull wigwam and “re-energising” lounge and a volleyball net for non-surfers to have a play, this should be a lovely relaxing evening for all involved!
BREAKING NEWS: WHITE NOISE FESTIVAL CANCELLED
White Label Music were due to present the first White Noise Music Festival in Newquay in early November, but have just announced that the festival has had to be cancelled. The three day festival of cutting edge electronic music was due to be held at Hendra Holiday Park from 7 – 9 Nov. Billed as a festival with no rain, no mud, (just anoraks!), the line up included a Jarvis Cocker/Jason Buckle DJ set, Damo Suzuki and The Nitewreckers feat Dave Ball. The festival looked like it might be an interesting one, but it seems that sadly, the hurdles presented to the organisers simply became too much to overcome.

Glastonbury Festival 2009 tickets on sale!
For the first time in Glastonbury Festival’s history, tickets will go on sale eight months before the event.
From this Sunday (October 5th), festival-goers will be able to reserve tickets for next year’s event for a £50 deposit – or buy their tickets outright.
There will also be no limits on the number of tickets you can buy or reserve - as long as each purchase (or deposit) is matched with valid registration numbers.
Michael Eavis says: "I'm pleased to point out that anyone intending to come to the Festival in 2009 won't be limited to one, two or even six tickets when the booking opens on October 5. Our only stipulation is that each ticket - bought or reserved - is matched to a valid registration number. This way we can ensure that tickets are going to genuine Festival-goers only. With your consent we will save your registration number so you won’t need to re-register for the next four years."
Says Michael Eavis: “After three years, I am now confident that we have developed the fairest ticketing operation available anywhere, and we are ready to go.
“With the new scheme, backed by the all-important registration process, everyone has an equal chance of getting a ticket. And most importantly, every ticket will be going to a genuine festival-goer direct.
“I’m also convinced that the £50 deposit will help a lot of people to spread the payment for their ticket over a much longer period.”
Next year’s Glastonbury runs for five full days - from Wednesday 24th June until Sunday 28th June 2009 – across 1,000 acres of beautiful countryside at Worthy Farm, Somerset.
Many festival-goers have already registered their names for the 2009 event and will therefore have their all-important registration number. Anyone who hasn't registered will still be able to do so through www.glastonburyregistration.co.uk. Those without internet access can apply for a registration form (enclosing an SAE) to Glastonbury, PO Box 2445, Glasgow G40 9AG.
When the booking lines (0844 412 4635) and website (www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk) open for ticket sales at 9am on 5th October, all registered festival-goers will have two options. They can either buy a full weekend ticket at a price of £175 (plus a booking fee of £5), or alternatively, tickets can be reserved at a cost of £50 per ticket. The balance will be payable by 1st February 2009.
NEW INDEPENDENT CINEMA OPENS IN PLYMOUTH
The Jill Craigie's cinema in the Roland Levinsky Building at the University of Plymouth opens it's doors this month, and to celebrate they are screening a number of silent films, presented with brand new soundtracks by a diverse selection of musicians.
These reinterpretations of classic films will include Buster Keaton’s 1925 masterpiece The General, Broken Blossoms, South and Battleship Potemkin.
Each screening promises to offer the audience something very rarely encountered in cinema and because each performance is either being performed live or specially curated for the event there'll exhibit that "had to be there" quality usually reserved for gigs or premiere's. Check out these listings:
02 Oct
THE GENERAL
Dir: Clyde Bruckman/Buster Keaton
USA/75mins/1925
6.30pm/£5 (£3 over 60s/free to UoP Students, staff and Friends Plus)
A combination of Buster Keaton’s physical comedy with dramatic stunts, accompanied by live music from energetic pianist and improviser, Andrew Odber.
09 Oct
BROKEN BLOSSOMS
Dir: DW Griffith
USA/90mins/1919
6.30pm/£5 (£3 over 60s/free to UoP Students, staff and Friends Plus)
Set in the east end of London in the lime house district amidst opium dens, Broken Blossoms is a dream-like tale of love in the face of adversity. Seven-piece progressive folk outfit the Dharma Bums perform a live score alongside a screening of this intimate and poignant film. New addition to the group, electronics maestro Oliver Charles will make his debut as a Bum at the gig so don’t miss out!
16 Oct
SOUTH
Dir: Frank Hurley
UK/81 mins/1919
6.30pm/£5 (£3 over 60s/free to UoP Students, staff and Friends Plus)
South tells the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ill fated journey to the Antarctic. The incredible voyage and subsequent marooning was captured by photographer, cameraman and adventurer Frank Hurley so there’s some pretty rare footage in this film. It will be accompanied by a new digitally generated score by composer Alexis Kirke, which captures the desolate, white landscape of Antarctica.
23 Oct
THE BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN
Dir: Sergei Eisenstein
USSR/75 mins/1925
6.30pm/£5 (£3 over 60s/free to UoP Students, staff and Friends Plus)
Eisenstein’s dramatisation of the 1905 Battleship Potemkin uprising against oppressive officers was intended as a piece of propoganda, but became an influential piece of film making because of the director’s use of montage, the influence of which can be seen in modern cinema – from Coppola’s Apocalypse Now to De Palma’s Untouchables. The screening will be accompanied by a specially developed digitally reconfigured orchestral piece from composer Shostakovich.
The Jill Craigie Cinema is in the Roland Levinsky Building at the University of Plymouth.
