The evening kicks off in everyone’s favourite local, where The Orange Tree will play host to live music, a BBQ and cocktails galore! Live acts in the GARDEN will include:
RUGGED SOUNDSYSTEM
The two step funk-hop dirty disco ghetto soul kings of Loughborough. They are on a mission to get your granny breaking with her booty shaking! Describing themselves as the 8 piece funk students of the dirty disco ghetto monk, they are bound to surely be one entertaining act. Bringing a versatile flavour of sound, there are no limits to what you may hear!

CHRISSY WALLIS
In contrast to Rugged Soundsystem (that's what we do) local acoustic legend Chrissy Wallis will be making all the ladies swoon with his silky voice and guitar steez. Songs like 'Secret Truth' and 'You Keep' bring to mind Neil Young but Chrissy brings it right up to date with his overall performance and great production. Check out his myspace to listen to some tunes.

LOGIC DESIGN
New Loughborough fourpiece The Logic Design will be bringing a more indie vibe to the proceedings. After a few gigs around Loughborough including a rambunctious crowd-surfing one at Echos the boys will be hoping to recreate a similar vibe at Orange Tree! Have a listen to some songs below for a taster. 'Lions' jangles along nicely and towards the end breaks into a Bombay Bicycle Club type bridge, which is who the lead vocalist sounds like coincidently, and 'Morning Tide' features lovely guitars and brings to mind London band 'Dogs'.

PLAYHOUSE
Local legends Playhouse are not new to the game. Formally known as Penfold Gate the fourpiece have literally serenaded their fair old town for years now with touching private anthems between followers and have garnered attention from Channel 4 aswell as Radio 1. Not ones to sit still though they switched from Folk-affected merriment to a more harmonic and synth based sound. 'Wait for It' features pounding drums and subtle synth work all staples of their new anthemic sound. 'Asteroids' on the other hand seems like a fond farewell salute to their old sound as the track fizzles into space and onto another planet. In a fair world these songs would rock stadiums and make Vinnie Jones cry.

and not forgetting your host for the evening...
DJ SLEAZY WONDER
Skilled Sailor, Heavy Drinker & Endless Style. Three of the things that were used to describe Sleazy back in his hey-day. Now a washed up version of his former self Sleazy is currently on the comeback trail playing gigs across his adopted country Britain. With a style that never went out of fashion he his making girls and boys dance sexily and smoothly to his waves of good time music. Catch him sailing through classic records with a Balearic twist as well as plenty of boogie, disco & funk in Bite-Size Portions. Watch out ladies!
Here as an exclusive mix to the blog is a 45 min mix Sleazy did entitled 'Midnight Boat Party'. We assume you should listen to it on your yacht at midnight. If you don't have a yacht the bath is fine.
