Llangollen Fringe have just
announced the acts that will headline the 23rd edition of the town
festival, which organisers say is the biggest yet by far.
The acts announced are: EMMANUEL JAL – a former boy soldier in
Sudan.
Jal has triumphed against adversity to become a leading proponent of a
crossover style of afrobeat and hip hop having worked with and performed
alongside such names as Lauren Hill
and Alicia Keys.
He is well known
across Africa and North America, but his Fringe concert will be one of his very
first in Europe.
* Robyn Hitchcock.
Joining Jal at the festival are:
* Psychedelic singer and songwriter ROBYN
HITCHCOCK, whom ROLLING STONE magazine
describe as “A gifted Melodist, Welsh
and Bretton singing LLEUWEN and
band.
* Adventurer and film maker BRUCE
PARRY, best known for his BBC TV series TRIBE will appear live in conversation and will also screen his
latest film TAWAI.
There is also a return
for festival favourites the DUB PISTOLS and
a debut performance for Glastonbury festival regulars ELECTRIC SWING CIRCUS.
* Lleuwen.
All this plus STAND UP COMEDY, the return
of BAND FOR A DAY, a SKA themed STEAM TRAIN ride and Musical CANAL BOAT trips, along
with many other fringe events.
Llangollen Fringe Festival will
