Line Up

Word Up is a collective of Spoken Word poets, organised and hosted every month by Hannah Gee and Dan Culmer whose ethos is to make all voices heard through spoken word. At Unfest they have curated the garden stage to host poets from London, Brighton and the local area alongside Open Mic sessions and talented acoustic acts such as Joe Walker, Jack Mackay and Dan Jordan.

Night Without Sleep. "Not commercially viable" Against The Lie. Music for Mad Dogs and Alley Cats and all those who have drowned in the Backwater.

Superzero

Beat-laden, soul quenching, bass-driven, fun loving, weird looking, sweet sounding, shade-wearing, mains-powered dance with kick-ass choruses, discordant harmonies and eye-popping visuals.

C:M are back with a new line up and a new EP showing off their new direction. Now featuring The Impossible Man on vocals, C:M are bringing you a mash up of hip-hop, trap, dubstep and rock, held together with their own brand or deep bass wobbles. http://www.codemarla.com

Bones Ate Arfa

Ash Dodd is a singer-songwriter from Crowborough, East Sussex. They started at the Forum as part of the Under 18s Open Mic Night, and have gone on to play Stable Nights as well as supporting bands such as Suncharmer and The Polygons. Their music is a mix of indie-pop and acoustic music.

Paul Cheese

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the world’s most sophisticated and expensive high-energy physics experiment, exploring the very nature and structure of matter itself at the most fundamental level. Fortunately, Higgs and the Bosons were born of a simpler, cheaper experiment mostly involving beer and music but high energy is still the name of the game. With influences as diverse as the Small Faces and Nirvana, from the Black Keys to the Sex Pistols, Higgs and the Bosons use hard-nosed pub-rock to question the fundamental nature of teenage children, parental angst and the sub-atomic structure of growing old disgracefully. Above all, the band are about having fun, playing a mix of covers and originals that everyone can enjoy. Keep in touch on Facebook!

Slow, Slow and Slower

FROST is a drummer and electronic musician exploring rhythm through process and framework to further understand pattern, texture and connectivity.

There are reoccurring themes of minimalism, jazz, leftfield techno and post rock, underpinned by the ideology of networked beats.
