This year's line up is a treat!
Party Night Acoustic NightSaturday Night
Barry Ashworth and Jason O'Bryan AKA the Dub Pistols have spent the best part of a decade at the forefront of Beats culture. From their early singles for Concrete Records to their genre defying 'Six Million Ways To Live' long player, the Dub Pistols have always added a much needed Rock n Roll swagger to the UK's dance scene. Chewing up hip-hop, dub, techno, ska and punk and spitting them out in a renegade futuristic skank they have consistently defied categorisation and exceeded the highest of expectations!!
For Rock The River 2009 Barry the front man for The Dub Pistols will be accompanied by Rodney P, lindy Layton, Scratch DJ Realm and Tom Bone!! For what promises to be the highlight of the event!!!!
Rodney P entered the UK Hip Hop scene in the 1980s. He started out as a member of the world renowned London Posse, one of the UK's first home grown hip hop acts who were highly influential in the development of the genre.
He has had one of the longest and most respected careers in UK hip hop. Also known as da riddim killa, he cites the reggae he heard while growing up as an influence on his dub-heavy music.
When they said the revolution was coming, we're sure nobody expected it to spawn from Barrow In Furness. Uniquely for a man whose albums have constantly sold and whose fan base has multiplied with every sample and beat, Andy Turner's back yard has always been his creative stomping ground. Like he says, 'What I do would be completely different if I lived in the city'.

Using inopportune moments and a musical alphabet as deep as the sky, catfish and the bottlemen are currently traversing a sextet of cities with nothing but shine in the apples of their eyes.
Somehow soon this combination of pockets, testing melody and treason will stumble across your path and leave an indelible mark deeper than hue, fingerprint or membrane on your story.
