The first Plumpton Beer And Blues Festival takes place on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 September at the grounds of The Plough Inn, Plumpton, East Sussex.

Sunday’s main headliners are Nine Below Zero, and the stage will also see New Brunswick Festival contest winners 24 Pesos, the highly original roots based R’n’B of Elephant Shelf, and the mellow acoustic blues of Londoner Robert Brown.

It promises an excellent and varied festival in wonderful surroundings and the proprietors are keeping ticket prices at a very reasonable level.

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
