What? Where? When? Who? The Marble Hill date features two of the biggest acts from the chill-out heyday of the early noughties. Norwegian duo Royksopp have a new album, 'The Understanding', out this summer, while Morcheeba continue ploughing their trade despite parting company with singer Skye for their last record. The Herbaliser also have a new album 'Take London' out and their big band hip-hop show should be a treat, while Quantic Soul Orchestra will compete for space on stage with their big band funk set, featuring Alice Russell on vocals. Highly rated MC K-Os and the manic Acoustic Ladyland complete the line-up. How much? More info |

Not
so much a festival as a couple of days out in the park with some
good music. The legendary Jazz Café take to the less smoky
outdoors for another summer of lounging around England's stately
homes. This time there's two dates, one in July and one in August,
at some of London's grandest buildings. Kenwood House in Hampsted
is surrounded by gardens, lakes and the rolling hills of Hampsted
Heath, while Marble Hill in Richmond is set by the Thames in 66
acres of parkland. You can bring your own food and drinks but there
will be onsite bars. If the sun shines there won't be a nicer place
to be.
