Remember this lot? Well, they're playing at Ivy Live

I remember seeing Reef in about 1995. At a festival in Brighton. They were the first band on and I recall the singer swinging from the rafters. My only other abiding memory of them is of every drunk person in my local nightclub going nuts when the DJ dropped that song about putting your hands on something or other. Anyhoo, as is the trend nowadays, they've reformed, and will headline this Friday at Ivy Live, a festival in England's stunning South-Devon countryside.

Now in its 4th year, Ivy Live is growing larger all of the time. The vibrant and eclectic three-day festival (9th-11th Sept) features a variety of genres from Alternative rock to Reggae, Punk, Indie, Hip hop and Folk and encompasses international artists as well as the hottest talent from around the South West. Other headliners will be the rather excellent King Blues and Bluesy Pop songstress Sandi Thom.

Elsewhere Ben Howard, Futures, Cosmos Jarvis, The Computers, Ruarri Joseph, Wille and the Bandits, Mad Dog Mcrea and South London Alternative Hip Hop collective Clement Marfo and the Frontline spice things up.

The rest of the line up features: Hyper / Monkey / Backbeat Soundsystem Crazy Arm / The Skints / Freeze The Atlantic Josh Bray Band / Dead Poets / The Deering / Crowns / Willie and the Bandits / Unleashed / Auction for the Promise Club Land of the Giants / Head Of Programmes / Kate McGill / The Scribes / Numb / Spree The Patrick James Pearson Band / The Iconyx / Amy Wallace / Morning Rush / The Vics / Richard James Emma Lauran / Ellie Campbell / Ten Zero One / 7 Year Itch / George & the Islanders / John Thorpe Silent Disco sessions: Battle Stations / Origin Breaks / DJ Pandamonium / Dom J / Leishman / Phat Chex / Wotsawonder / PMC / Dread / Definition / Ad The Lad / D-struct and Ember / Tuskan / Joe Panic
