There are just eight days to go now until the inaugural Match&Fuse Festival 2012. Things are gearing up nicely and now we’re just praying for the weather! The festival will see thirteen bands join us from eight different European countries on Friday 15th June in the evening, and all day Saturday 16th June.

The best part, is its all free!! Thanks to the generous support of organisations such as Arts Council England, PRS Foundation and the Polish Cultural Institute as well as some local businesses, (visit matchandfuse.co.uk for more details) Match&Fuse is able to offer 15 sets of cutting edge, explosive music at no cost to the public!

There will also be performances from local Hackney schoolchildren, a dancer/drummer project, an outside bar, and the opportunity to enter the Match&Fuse Prize draw – first prize is flights, accommodation and tickets for 2 people to go to Match&Fuse Festival 2013 in Oslo, Norway!!

It will all be taking place in The Vortex and Gillett Square, and please do watch and share our promotional trailer! June 15/16! Save the dates!
