Public Service Blogcast Episode 3: This Ain't No Picnic Special

A special show this week presented by DIY festival wunderkind Daniel all about the upcoming This Ain't No Picnic event. On September 27th and 28th, STA take over King's College London Student's Union for one of the best line-ups of the summer; among the 34 bands playing are headliners Future Of The Left and Polysics plus some acts that you may not be so familiar with but you're hopefully listening to as you read this. Both day and weekend tickets are still available, and all proceeds from this event will be donated to charity, split between Cancer Research UK and The Connection at St Martin-in-the-Fields. Those of you that have experienced the previous STA All-Dayers know how good the last weekend of the month is going to be.
