One day festivals are popping up all over the place at the moment, and LeeFest is one of the lesser known events to try and muscle itself a place in an already bustin’-to-burst festival calendar.


The story goes that it all started back in 2005 when Lee Denny put on the very first LeeFest in his parents back garden when they were off on holiday (silly, silly fools- saying that, when Ma and Pa Gobshout toddled off over New Year we had a 100 man party to see in 2006.  Upon returning and finding footprints on the walls, fag burns on the couch, a stoned pet dog and an industrial vacuum cleaner hidden behind our cupboard Ma Gobshout darkly claimed that we would ‘never be left alone in the house again’.  Anyway, enough about us…) and it was such a roaring success that Lee has been doing it ever since, and slowly expanding to the point where this years event has a bevy of well known and not so well known names on the line-up, ready to rock the socks off the suburban hordes.


Then whole events for charity and, at the end of the day, we all like getting blasted in a field so why not get yourself down to Bromley (15 mins from Victoria).  It’s cheap (£25), and you’ll be able to cheer up your Suicide Tuesday by telling yourself you ‘only did it for the kids.’

Barring the charity angle (read all about Kids Company here) it’s got a MAKESHIFT BEACH,  the bands playing are surprisingly good for an event this size and little festivals are always best for meeting members of the opposite sex.
