This years festival is dedicated to the memory of Mr. Neil Segrot (friend, music producer, sound engineer, musician, mentor, inspiration) who sadly died on 21st January 2026 after a long term illness. He was the first PA sound company we used 20 years ago on our very first peace & love event on 19th August 2006. He was a brilliant person who is missed by us all. A truly sad day for the Leicester music scene.
