The Beat-Herder Festival 2023 - The Factory Line Up Announced


The Beat-Herder Festival have announced the line up for The Factory - "where you clock in and never clock out. The monotony of the machines may have gone but the beats and energy still remain."

Of the 21 stages on offer, this is the one where classic house and the early days of rave meets the current sound of nu disco and indie dance.

You can catch me playing 2 sets on the Saturday night. Expect Chicago style House and Disco heat all the way, giving a nod to the DJs and producers that laid the foundations of House music as we know it.

Set times: 21:45 – 22:30 then 23:15 – 00:00

Vintage By The Sea Festival 2023



In September this year the Vintage By The Sea Festival celebrates the 10 year anniversary of creating outstanding programmes of art and culture in Morecambe. 

Founded in 2013 by Deco Publique and Wayne & Gerardine Hemingway MBE, the 2 day long festival provides Morecambe seafront with a stunning backdrop inspired by the decades from the 20s to the 90s.

For their 10th anniversary the organisers have promised to deliver an exceptional line up of  performance, music, dance, classic cars, vintage and design marketplaces, DJ sets, Best in Show fashion parades, workshops and street food, and no doubt much much more.

"We'll be bringing back some of the best and most loved programme from the last 10 years as well as welcoming some new editions as this anniversary edition sets out to be one of our finest!"

Described by The Guardian as one of the ‘Top Five Retro Events in the World’ - last year the award winning event attracted 45,000 visitors over the weekend, generating an economic impact of over £1.5 million for the local economy.

With the tagline of 'Celebrating 20th Century Culture', the free family festival brings together music, fashion, film, art, design and dance from the 1920s to the 1990s, with the emphasis throughout on glamour and head-turning style.

It's a great day out for people of all ages with so much to see and do. There is also an After Party on the Saturday Night in The Little Big Top marquee featuring local DJs playing alongside a yet to announced headline DJ.

There are a variety of live DJ sets from previous Vintage By The Sea events covering everything from Rock N Roll and Rockabilly, to Soul, Funk, Jazz, Disco, Latin, Boogie, Rhythm N Blues, and Classic House on the festivals Mixcloud.


Vintage By The Sea takes place in Morecambe on 2nd & 3rd September 2023
