Indiepop Festival  is what sounds like a delightfully eccentric festival that combines a list of some forty artists from UK and beyond with the delights of  playing on the Midlands Railway Butterley kit and caboodle is set for July in deepest Derbyshire.

In addition to the head-liners (no, not Beyonce and her ridiculous wiggle, nor Coldplay and their predigested lift music) but Edwyn Collins and Crystal Stilts, there is a slew of, frankly, intriguingly named artists such as Milky Wimpshake (Newcastle upon Tyne) , the rather fine Maths and Physics Club (Seattle), the splendid Simon Fox (Birmingham), but with top prize for inspired names going to Moustache of Insanity (London)

For those of us who can’t get there the splendid chaps at MakeDoandMend Records have made a forty track sampler of bands at the festival available through their Bandcamp site for whatever amount you see fit to cough up – how can you refuse?
