Preston never gets a mention on here. So please accept this jag with some affection. We lovingly put together line-ups at the 'Mad Ferret'.

In 2008, we hosted the likes of We Are Scientists, Jeffrey Lewis, Dananananaykroyd, Pulled Apart By Horses, The Mae Shi, Nice Peter, Wave Pictures, Gideon Conn, Cats In Paris, The Brute Chorus, The Chapman Family... and many more.

And you could have seen all those bands for a combined sum of £15!

Already confirmed for 2009 we have... It Hugs Back, The Joy Formidable, Sparrow And The Workshop, Spokes, Vessels, Ivan Campo, Instruments, Victoria and Jacob - and many more to come.
