There's a short bit of the band playing KENSINGTON HIGH STREET on the Croydon TV website as part of their report on the South Norwood Arts Festival.

The brief footage of the band starts around 40 seconds into the report.

Festival report

Thanks to all who came along on Sunday to watch the band successfully play their first festival. Lots of terrific compliments afterwards, and a great sound.

All the more impressive when you learn that there was next to no sound-check, the band in fact were largely unable to hear themselves (James says he couldn't hear the bass at all), Bean's amp failed moments before the gig started, Captain broke one of his drum sticks mid-song, and Chris Mayes only made it to the venue with five minutes to spare…

Nevertheless, Ether City played:

KENSINGTON HIGH STREET
LENNON AND MCCARTNEY
JUST A BUD
NIGHTMARE OF MY OWN MAKING
RIGHT NOW
LOLITA
MY SWEETNESS

South Norwood Arts Festival gig TODAY

Ether City are scheduled to be on stage at 2.05pm this afternoon. Mayes is returning from the North of England; let's hope he gets there on time!

Hope to see you there - that is, here.

SOUTH NORWOOD ARTS FESTIVAL

Captain — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 10:01:01 +0100

As mentioned below, Ether City will be playing the South Norwood Arts Festival at Woodside Green, SE25 on Sunday 18th July. The band will be on stage from 2 p.m. for a short set. Entry is free, and details of the whole day can be found here.

As well as music there will be dance demonstrations and various events reflecting the different cultures resident in and around South Norwood, a barbecue and a beer tent. This last is, in all probability, where you will be able to catch up with the band after the gig!

It promises to be a cracking day and is all in a good cause. Latest forecasts suggest the weather should stay dry so do pop along and bring the family.
