The band comprises three core members, Tom, Duncan and Luke, accompanied by various other musicians "when the mood takes us" - although they've just added a permanentÌýsinger.

Despite the traditional band setup, the music is an eclectic mix of alt rock, hip-hop, electro and funk with samples scattered liberally throughout.
Ìý
"One of the catchiest festival bands around - it’s no wonder they were asked to play Glastonbury at their first gig together!" - Andrew Marston.

According to the organisers, Charlie Chan, from Cheltenham, happened to be at one of Johnson's "last-ever gigs" when he came to the conclusion "there's absolutely no way you could be holding the guitar like that if you had the cancer you've been diagnosed with".

11 - 13 August: Down On The Farm, Abbeydore, Golden Valley

11 - 13 August: Down On The Farm, Abbeydore, Golden Valley
Down On The Farm gives local artists, playing original music, a chance to play alongside established acts.
Ìý
They have a main stage with a mix of rock, blues, folk and indie plus an acoustic stage that Hereford Live are helping with that will have a mix of local acts.
Ìý
Having only been going since 2012, they've already played host to acts such as Dr & The Medics and this year welcome Dr Feelgood.
Ìý
The owner of Gwatkin Cider, Denis Gwatkin, has played in several bands since his teenage years with most of the practice sessions and performances being at the farm.
Ìý
It therefore felt like a natural progression to get other bands to play on his farm as well, and that blossomed into the festival as we find it at present.Ìý
Ìý
So we'll be there!

18 - 19 August: PERfest, Bromsgrove

18 - 19 August: PERfest, Bromsgrove
A Bromsgrove couple who lost their baby daughter are launching a music festival to raise funds towards a maternity unit for families going through the same devastating loss.
Ìý
Samantha Pedley and Daniel Roberts’ daughter Poppy Elizabeth Roberts was born sleeping at 18 weeks on 27 May this year.
Ìý
The couple stayed in the specialist Faye Turner bereavement suite at Worcestershire Royal Hospital after Poppy was born.
Ìý
Samantha, Daniel, their families and friends are now organising a festival in Poppy’s memory to raise money towards the £60,000 cost of a second suite.
Ìý
PERfest is happening at The Park Gate Inn, Kidderminster Road, Dodford, on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 August. The festival gets its name from Poppy’s initials.
Ìý
Samantha, aged 21, said: “We were shown so much care and given all the time that we needed at the Faye Turner Suite. We were able to spend several days with Poppy and our families and friends were able to visit, which made things a lot easier for us. We want to make sure there is another suite for other families to use should they ever go through the same thing.â€
Ìý
Daniel, aged 25 and whose band Grafton Ash will be performing over the weekend, added: “We want the festival to be a celebration in Poppy’s memory. We hope lots of people will join us for some great music to raise money for a really good cause.â€
