Sidmouth also booked the majority of participating artists pretty much before James was involved. But he did a great job of pulling together the playlist and the artists on the day, as you say.

The event at SOuthBank is part of a weekend curated by Stewart Lee as part of their Festival of Britain celebrations. They got in touch with Sidmouth and asked the festival to reprise the event, which we were very happy to do. Some of the original artists are returning, and there are some new big names as well. It's a great lineup, which will be announced very soon as part of the Stewart Lee weekend, which is when the tickets will also go on sale.
