Twinfest feeds togetherness

T

winfest returns for four days of cool this July (28-31) and it is ready to once again celebrate the friendship that exists between the twin towns of Northampton, Marburg in Germany and Poitiers in France using our love of music. And there’s no glue as good as that. “We like to think that Twinfest is the festival that reaches out, not only to musicians, but also the wider public - to welcome into their town and sometimes their homes, our friends from Marburg and Poitiers,” organisers Kenny, Paul

and Bee told Pulse, “It’s a festival that unites, which is needed more than ever in this hour of separation, that which the politicians would have us celebrating.” Here’s what’s happening, and when as Twinfest celebrates it’s 25th anniversary. Headliners in bold. Thursday, July 28 Indie-pop and alt-indie is the calling, with a splash of noisy shoegaze over at The Black Prince: Eddz Rathmann (Marburg) Nothing Works (Poitiers) Viddy Friday, July 29, Freaky Friday The Lamplighter will deliver four bands and between them your ears will be taking in indie-pop-rock, garage punk, some more noisy shoegaze and a set of rap: Flimboy (Marburg) The Snakeman 3 Nothing Works (Poitiers) Krankhead Friday, July 29, Freaky Friday A journey into alt-rock at The Garibaldi Hotel:

Cave men return ancy getting a Friday buzz with some high energy psychedelic rock? Northampton’s own The Marabar Caves will be dishing that up for those ready to share in their date at The Lamplighter on July 8. Marabar Caves debuted in the town the year after Charles and Di walked down the aisle, issuing the single, Seeds that Never Grew/ Sally’s Place and an EP Eyes of the Fire, and they were scene regulars for more than a decade, eventually calling time in the mid-90s. They reformed in 2018 with guitarists Tony Riseley and Bill Westley and drummer Steve Goddard being joined in musicality by bassist Duncan Bisatt, who took over from Chris Jess.

Saturday, July 30 – The Super Saturday all-dayer A mammoth day of music being hosted in The Charles Bradlaugh Garden, with acoustic sessions, alt-rock, rap and all sorts of cool during a mad 12 hour session, which will include eco-political-folk-comicopera-theatre courtesy of Fossilheads. Obviously. The full listing is:

The Marabar Caves

They are keeping the creativity going, too; the quartet issued a new single a couple of months back – Suicide Mission is out all the usual streaming platforms. Alex Novak will take up position at the decks keeping the tunes coming thick and fast for the rest of the evening. Doors at 8pm, and the bash – running through to 1am – is free.
