The Summers End Festival, which will take place at Lydney Town Hall on October 7, 8, 9 2011, is pleased to announce the first two bands to take the stage this year. We are thrilled that Arena will headline the Saturday night of the Festival. The band will need no introduction to most prog fans, and with Messrs Pointer, Nolan, Mitchell and Salmon now joined by the superb Paul Manzi on lead vocals and a new album in the works, this year will see the band active once more. This will be a rare chance to see the band live in the UK in 2011. Following the hugely successful appearance of Phideaux in 2010, we are delighted to announce that we have another US band this year, the terrific K2. The brainchild of bassist Ken Jaquess, the band also boasts the talents of Spock’s Beard’s much-loved Ryo Okumoto on keyboards plus new members Josh Gleason (vocals) and Karl Johnson (guitar), who all perform on the band’s excellent second album “Black Garden” released last year. Don’t forget our Sister Festival FUSED – prog and symphonic metal – taking place at Lydney on April 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Early booking is recommended!

Summers End Festival Announces Caravan
The Summers End Festival , which takes place on 7th, 8th and 9th October at is thrilled to announce that Canterbury legends Caravan will close the Festival on Sunday 9th October.
Caravan will need few introductions to Prog fans. Since their inception in the late 60s, the band, led by singer / guitarist Pye Hastings and multi-instrumentalist Geoffrey Richardson, has become synonymous with fabulous song-writing and jazz/prog instrumental excursions. Having been on hiatus for a few years, they will be making a return to live performance in 2011, and this will be a rare opportunity to see the band in such an intimate setting this year. http://www.caravan-info.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - www.caravan-info.co.uk This completes our Sunday evening line up. Caravan and Magenta should make for quite a closing evening, we hope you agree.

A little flurry of news about the Summers End Festival , which takes place on 7th, 8th and 9th October at Lydney Town Hall, Gloucestershire Unfortunately, due to a serious illness to a member of bassist Ken Jaquess’ immediate family, K2 have had to withdraw from this year’s festival. We wish Ken and his family well and have agreed that they will play in 2012. Their replacements are the remarkable Day Six from Holland. Having stolen the show at the Fused Festival in Lydney in April this year, we knew that we would have to bring them back for Summers End at some point, and K2’s unfortunate withdrawal, for a year at least, has give us that opportunity. You will not be disappointed. http://www.myspace.com/daysixweb" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/daysixweb To complete or line up we are delighted to welcome Declan Burke and band to open the Friday night of the festival. Dec is no stranger to the festival having already played with Darwin’s Radio and Frost, so the opening slot is in safe hands! http://www.decburke.com/" rel="nofollow - www.decburke.com Coming very soon – confirmed news of the Sponsors ticket goodies, and the standard T-shirt pre-order.

| Although sad news re K2, I totally agree family must come first and they agreeing to come in 2012 is good news. I am however concerned that not enough time will be available for all the artiists on Friday evening! Why 3 acts? the other nights only have 2 which gives the acts concerned enough time to do full shows. I'm just concerned. I'm sorry to gripe about this as the festival is so good. I am looking forward to the festival enormously and wish both Huw and Lambsie all the best for what promises to be another excellent festival |

Running a festival is never easy, and we are sorry to announce a couple of pieces of bad news with just 10 days to go! Firstly, it is with huge regret that we announce that Amplifier will not now be playing the festival. This is as a result of irresolvable technical issues between the Festival and the band. We apologise to all those looking forward to seeing them, and wish the band every success for the future. Holders of Friday evening tickets only have been contacted separately. Secondly, Sunchild will not now be able to play due to the refusal of visas for some of the band. We know that the guys are as gutted as we are that they cannot play, so we are happy to announce that they will be joining us in 2012, visa’s permitting! In the meantime, we are very pleased to announce that Antony Kalugin of Sunchild, who is still able to make the Festival, will play a special acoustic set on Friday night with something of a legendary guest, the amazing John Sloman of Lonestar and Uriah Heep fame. This unique collaboration will hopefully help compensate fans for the loss of both bands. In their Sunday slot we are thrilled to announce that Credo have agreed to play the Festival at short notice. The band have received some superb reviews for their third album “Against Reason” and have combined that with some amazing live shows in 2011. We welcome them back after their wonderful set way back in 2006! http://www.credo.gb.com/" rel="nofollow - www.credo.gb.com Here’s the confirmed line up: Friday 7th October Lazuli (France) Antony Kalugin and John Sloman (Ukraine and UK) Declan Burke (UK) Saturday 8th October Evening: Arena (UK) – Saturday Headliner The Tangent (UK ) – Saturday Special guest Afternoon: Day Six (Holland) Casual Silence (Holland) Sunday 9th October Evening: Caravan (UK) – Sunday Headliner Magenta (UK) – Sunday Special Guest Credo (UK) Unto Us (UK) Sponsor’s tickets remain available for a few more days at £85, which get the purchaser a special T-shirt and Stephen’s book “Citizens of Hope and Glory”.

Sleeper's will probably be a better review than mine as I was only there for the Saturday and Sundaybut I'll give my opinion anyway. Invertigo were the first band on that I saw and I was very impressed by the music.Very melodic and may have even bought their cd if it wasn't for it being my first day. I thought the vocalist wasn't as good as the music deserved but he did look like Rafa Benitez and it was only a minor problem. Casual Silence played some really good songs and the vocalist had a great voice on him.I was surprised that he announced they were splitting up after Summer's End and I'll be looking to find some of their back catalogue. Day SIx I wasn't really looking forward to from what I'd heard other people say about them but,after a while,I started to enjoy them for what they were.At tmes frenetic guitar playing and some serious gurning from the vocalist/guitarist with a few quieter moments thrown in. I really enjoyed The Tangent and they were the highlight of the day for me.I'd not heard too much of them before(only Down and Out In Paris) and I was really impressd with the sound and the playing so much,I bought my first cd of the weekend in their latest "Comm" I was a little disappointed in Arena,as they were the band I was looking forward to most on the Saturday.I can't put my finger on why because they did put on a good show.Maybe I'd built them up too much.I did buy Pepper's Ghost though. Sunday started with Concrete Lake who,for me,were the surprise package of the weekend. Some great prog with some well written and well crafted songs,heavy in places but shifting quite easily into more gentle and melodic sections in most of their songs.I'll be keeping a look out for these guys,who are supposed to be going into the studio in the New Year.Oh.... and the whole band seemed to be on springs as they bounced up and down alot. Credo were excellent and a track they played called "Insane" persuaded me to buy "Against Reason ".They reminded me of Marilion in places but that's no bad thing.If you get the chance to watch them on their next tour,you should go. Headspace weren't my cup of tea,I'm afraid, and I left after 20 minutes to grab some food in a pub somewhere, but what I heard sounded ok Magenta were bloody excellent and my highlight of the weekend. Christina's voice reminds me of Annie Haslam and they didn't put a foot wrong. Caravan was a really great end to the proceedings.It was the first time I've seen them live and I'd go again.There was good banter between the band and they seemed to be really enjoying themselves up there which always makes for a good gig, imo. That's my first review and it may not be a good review and I'll probably neeed a lot more experience of writing them before you get a good one,but you have to start somewhere  ------------- it's in the way that you use it |

^ cheers
 I've seen Magenta 4 times and they've always impressed me especially lead guitarist Chris Fry. Did they play much from the new album Chameleon and if so did you like it?

I decided to buy Chameleon and Home after they played and I've played Chameleon once I arrived back home and it's a very good album on first listen ------------- it's in the way that you use it |

I bought Cahmeleon as well and I think it might be their best album. Home I find to be their weekest and I was glad they didnt play much from that album. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005 |

I'd heard "Home" and "Seven" once and was unsure which of them to buy so I took advice off Lambsie and Bought "Home". After 2 listens,I'm very impressed with it ------------- it's in the way that you use it |
