I’ve been confirmed to play No Direction Home Festival in June in England, and I wanted to help promote the event, as it’s the first NDA Festival ever. It’s organized by the team from End of the Road Festival, so it’s bound to be very special. So many good bands playing. Check it out:

No Direction Home Festival

8th - 10th June, Welbeck Estate, Nottinghamshire www.nodirectionhomefestival. com

A brand new festival from the team behind the End of the Road, No Direction Home this year makes its first outing at Welbeck Estate in the northern reaches of Sherwood Forest, with a stellar bill headed by The Low Anthem, Dirty Three, Andrew Bird, Gruff Rhys and Richard Hawley. It is the first time that this historic and beautiful setting, first mentioned as far back as the Domesday Book, will play host to a festival.

A main stage is to be built by a lake with views of the ancient abbey and there will be music, merriment and new twists on everything you’d expect from the End of the Road team including a cinema from The Lost Picture Show, comedy, literature, instrument making, swing dancing, pub quizzes and DJs at The Flying Boating Society, demos, talks & tastings from The School of Artisan Food, a secret post office, sack racing,art installations, 100s of workshops, organic food, real ale, the Somerset Cider Bus and much more.

Why is Creative Commons so cool? This is why?:

This kid wrote me a comment this weekend, and told me had made a mash-up of almost every Dad Rocks! song out there. The outcome is absolutely amazing. This is without a doubt one of the coolest things that has happened to me in my musical career. To feel that I’ve inspired someone to create something new from old. Check this out:

Dudes,
