Villagers you say? Oh and M83? Well it’s only the ruddy Body and Soul festival! That what? The Body&Soul festival. Keep up! Started 3 years ago the festival has bounded and leapt from strength to cliché. This year sees the Uber-cool Summer Solstice-based festival return with their best line-up to-date. Don’t take our word for it (we’ll shut our dirty lying mouths) but the good folks at Body& Soul are definitely to be trusted with a line-up announcement as good as this. Who couldn’t help but love ‘em? M83, Villagers, St. Vincent, Little Dragon and Tieranniesaur are amongst the fifteen acts announced today with more to come! With the inevitable vacuum left in Oxegen’s departure from the festival circuit for this year, it is definitely the year for the smaller festivals to grow their audiences and Body&Soul is definitely in for a bumper year.

To jog your memory, it is the 1955 Disney classic about talking dogs who enjoy pasta. As I’ve been feeling quite nostalgic in recent weeks, I have been slowly revisiting the films I used to rent as a child.

There was something in the middle about cats and then a zoo and then BAM it’s Christmas and everyone is happy and surrounded by puppies. As an adult, Lady & the Tramp is a different watch altogether.

… because November is a drab, dark month and there’ll be no better fellas to chase away your post-summer blues. Rizzle Kicks are Jordan and Harley, they’re nineteen, and they once made a music video with Ed Sheeran in their back garden. Their debut album Stereo Typical, a collection of cheeky ditties wrapped in bouncy, hip-pop goodness, peaked at number 5 in the UK charts last winter, due in no small part to the immense likeability of this pair of groovy scoundrels. Oh, look at ‘em. Aren’t they funny? That’s Mama Do The Hump, which has Fatboy Slim written all over it, mostly because he produced it. Tickets are from €26.40 from Ticketmaster, and are on sale now.
