	Sat 4 July, evening - damn dirty humans Introducing Chichester RAJF's tip for the top - damn darty humans. It’s hard to say why Brighton's Damn Dirty Humans remain unsigned. Pushing electro-pop to a new level, they manage the feat of not only sounding like they’re straight off the Skins soundtrack, but also that they have miraculously appeared straight out of the eighties, and Blondie are looking jealous. It truly is a mystery, as Damn Dirty Humans are, as they so rightly claim, damn dirty, and damn good.  visit web site

	Sat 4 July, evening - Gentleman Starkey Kicking off a fantastic Saturday night - the winner of Spirit FM and Chichester RAJF's Battle of the Bands - Gentleman Starkey! "With organs set to "spooky" and a frontman who sounds like he gargles Johnnie Walker, Gentleman Starkey fire out unhinged garage rock with sweaty aplomb" Q Magazine January 2009  visit web site

	Fri 10 July - Best of British - The Silver Beatles The Silver Beatles are a Portsmouth based band and have produced their share of Beatlemania throughout the years.

	Fri 10 July - Best of British - The Bog Roll Stones The Bog Rolling Stones formed a while back with one aim in mind: to inject a little fun and tongue-in-cheek humour into the all too serious world of tribute bands. Realising that it is impossible to take one's self seriously whilst prancing about on stage in a wig and stripy trousers, the bands attitude revolves around high energy, no holds barred entertainment. (Not to mention shouting Yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh, baaayyyyybeeeee! at every opportunity) Band members slip in and out of character at opportune moments and wigs have been known to fly across the stage. Then, just when you think it's simply theatre, Keef's ice pick guitar strikes a nerve, the rhythm section plugs in and the music reaches up, grabs Mick by the ankle and pulls him under!  visit web site

	Fri 10 July - Best of British - Who's Who WHO’s WHO’s exciting live performances with Townshend’s leaping and Daltrey’s microphone whirling antics receive incredible reactions across Europe and beyond. But it’s not just about the theatrics; WHO’s WHO is widely recognised and respected by its musical peers and is acknowledged within THE WHO hierarchy as the band that most interprets the songs with honesty and integrity.  visit web site

	Fri 10 July - Best of British - The Small Fakers The journey started around the time of the 2006 Small Faces convention where Matt got up and did a few numbers with 'Dan's People' - Dan being their drummer. The idea was now firmly planted in Matt's mind and started to grow. Dan knew of 'Ronnie-a-like' Neil after standing in on drums for his band 'The DB5's' and Matt had previously been in an originals band with Jon 'hammond' Gray, so they didn't have to look far for the right organ grinder! Highlights so far include playing at the Isle of Wight Festival, Carnaby Street, Small Faces plaque unveiling, the Small Faces Conventions, Butlins(!), meeting Kenny Jones and many of the Marriott family.  visit web site

	Sat 11 July, 1pm - Max Collie Rhythm Aces Formed back in the 60’s by Max Collie, the band has had fewer personnel changes than any other professional band in existence today.
