Festival season is fully in swing, and Sunday 13th July sees w'OWFI fESt take place at Glasgow's Captain's Rest. The varied (to say the least) lineup for the all-day benefit includes Hari Kiri of Kylie Minoise, Edinburgh's Mills and Boon, Fall-inspired Johnny and the Entries, troll-fabled folk from Norwegian fiddler Solveig Askvik & banjo/guitarist Mike Hastings, anything-goes-improv from Jer Reid (of Dawson) and Shane Connolly, Japanese Taiko Drumming, lo-fi songwriting duo James William Hindle and Calvin Halliday to Glasgow's own Gummy Stumps. Plus, DJ sets from Katrina of The Pastels, Simon Shaw (V-Twin, Lucky Luke) Wolfie Wolfoid, Humaira Saeed, Paul (Missing Records) and Chuckles D'Amage, and what's apparently the debut on the wheels of steel from Dep Downie of the Monorail record shop. All proceeds from your £6 go to the Organisation of Women's Freedom In Iraq which provides safe shelters for women in the country. (info from Jockrock)
