Get back to your Grassroots

WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS TO GRASSROOTS JERSEY!

Only 8 days to go until Grassroots festival transforms the Val de la Mare dam into a lovely Eco Friendly one-day music festival with all the little extras that make Grassroots gorgeous - like amazing Jersey Pottery global streetfood for sale.  And twice the normal number of bars...

Natch, Branchage will be going, hanging in the eco village, crunking in the favela funk dance arena, swapping our recycling for drinks tickets.  Chilling out, maxing, relaxing... the usual.

Headlining this year is the Blues man whose voice hits you where it hurts, Seasick Steve, with Arrested Development second on the bill - oh to hear Everyday People in late Jersey sunshine, yes!

Also on the line-up, Easy Star All-stars, Backbeat Soundsystem, Mat McHugh, Ben Howard, Josh Flowers, Rick Jones, and DJing in the dance arena, Bag Raiders, Brad Baloo, Mr Bongo Soundsystem and The Uplifter.

To get you in the mood for the main event, here's one of Seasick Steve's many Jools Holland live performances...
