After 2005's fantastic three day festival, Endorse-It goes indoors on Easter Sunday (16th April) for a mini festival of the very best ska and more.
The Line-up......
The Beat - one of the original and best Ska acts around
Pronghorn - firm Lost Vagueness favourites and a stalwart at many festivals including Larmer Tree and Endorse-it - jumpy around cowpunk at its best
The Cracked Actors - brilliant ska/dub band from The Midlands - having taken in several gigs at Glastonbury and Endorse-it in 2005, these are a band to watch out for.
Far Cue - class, full-on punk how it should be played - another Glastonbury favourite
Toupe - two bassists and drums, wierd but works brilliantly and really nice blokes to boot!
Magic Skool Bus - up and coming ska/punk crossover - relentlessly touring at the moment and with (well justified) major label interest, this band are going to go far
plus Flounder The Compere & Walk-about Theatre from The Stripey-Jumper Crew.
Being a festival, there's stalls, a bar, food, merchandising area, parking and even a full skate park. Doors open at 2pm.
Tickets are available via the box office on 01373 455420. The price for the day is £14 advance or £16 on the door. Kids from 12-15yrs are £10 but must be accompanied by an adult.

Frome is a beautiful market town in Somerset and has a vibrant community feel. There's a lot to do in the area, with all the attractions of Glastonbury and Bath within easy reach and shopping at The Clarks Outlet Village in Street - the nearby hamlet of Mells has its famous daffodil fayre on the 17th April, complete with medieval enactments, folk sessions in the pub, market, fairground and more displays than you can shake a hey-nonny-no at - so why not make a weekend of it? Details of B+B, campsites etc can be found via Google or here.
Frome is easily reachable by road - by train it is easier to get a main line to either Bath or Westbury and change there.
So do come on down - it's gonna be a grand day. Although roomy, space at the venue is limited and a personal invite will be going out to all those who came to Endorse-it 2005 - but as eFestivals users you get to hear about it first, so best be quick.
Endorse-it Indoors - it's in Somerset! is a one day mini-festival as a warm-up for the main 3-day Endorse-It In-Dorset festival in August.
