Fat Belly Jones is a local 7, 8, 9 or even 10-piece band (dependng on availability and of course stage size!), described in their words..."playing toons you can't help jumpin' to.. We is SKA, we is SOUL, we is FAT, we is none of us called JONES !!"

The band are growing in popularity week on week, and playing a wide range of covers that many will both know and love FBJ are sure to set the mood perfectly for the weekend ahead.

During a recent spell where the band found themselves without a lead vocalist, Fat Belly Jones enlisted the vocal talents of Guy Davidson to temporarily fill the void. A regular on the Sussex music scene as front man of the extreeeeeemly popular 'Jellyhead' Guy is no stranger to Rock In The Bog having played there for the last 2 years to great acclaim. Guy loves doing the edgy rock with Jellyhead, but also loves soul music, has found himself beginning to like Ska, and has now found himself as the permanent front man for both bands! (he still hates disco though!!!!).

We are looking forward to having the bandon-board for this years festival, bringing together as they do some of Sussex' finest musicians, and we think that you are gonna love them too!

“Mix of catchy, thought provoking lyrics, country rockin' melodies, solid instrumentation and note perfect harmonies”

Felix Fables are a British folk band with an inimitable hard-hitting sound. Their unique stamp on folk music draws from elements of Americana, Blues and Indie and is over-scored by soaring four-part harmonies. Conjuring up thoughts of beauty and raw grit the band’s electrifying stage presence challenges themselves and their audiences to have a far better time than anyone would believe possible!

The band released their debut album In This Town on 24th October 2011 which captures the sound of the band in an 'almost-live' setting - using only minimal overdubs to deliver a raw and exciting example of this band's incredible live persona. They successfully completed an on-line campaign with Pledge Music which raised enough funds to produce physical copies of the album. With a dedicated fan base across London and the South East, Felix Fables have been playing across the country in 2011 having started the year with a full capacity show at Brighton’s Alternative Great Escape and Beach Break Live they have played an array of festivals during the summer of 2011 ending the year with Lockstock Festival in Camden and December Sessions at the 02.

2012 has started with a bang for Felix Fables with a sync of their track ‘Acorn’ on the TV show Hollyoaks , a tour with Café Nero and their next single planned for release in the Spring.

With a fierce live performance that amplifies in power what the songs do in meaning, In Dynamics are a band of energy and passion, not to be gone un-noticed.

A totally unique artist and one who delivers boogie piano with such finesse and ease, while at the same time making it relevant in the 21st century.

Here at 'Bog HQ' we couldn't believe it when in the space of 48 hours, three sperate and entirely un-related bands from Scotland approached us wanting to play at the festival. especially when we heard the callibre of music from Fires Attract.

The Glasgow based band have never travelled this far South to play, and look upon it as a bit of an adventure into new territory, and a chance to bring their music to an entirely new audience.

Fires Attract descrbe themselves as an alternative pop rock band, and have could be likened to Canadian rock band 'Simple Plan'.
They released their debut EP, 'Sizing Up Giants' in 2011 when they also toured the UK supporting American Band 'Neon Trees', headlined the famous King Tuts, and played a live session on Radio 1's BBC Introducing show with Ally McCrae.
Their second EP is due out during early 2012.

We love to be able to bring new music to the festival, particularly from bands that you would not often get the chance to see locally. Fires Attract definately fit into that category!!

Guildford based Rock/Alternative act The Antidote formed in early 2011 but have already toured poland with superband UK Legends made up from Thin Lizzy, The Animals and Smokey and taken Warsaw by storm!

Inspired by Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Foo Fighters and Oasis The Antidote connect the spontaneity within music to their performance. Lead singer Moritz Muller aka "the ritz" says:"There is something magical that happens when bands like Oasis perform, you can see an energetic connection between the creative genius of Noel and the arrogant showmanship of Liam!"

The band formed of Moritz on vocals and violin bass, Colin Marshall aka The Polar Bear on drums , Joe Jeffryes and Jack Barclay both on guitar consider themselves to be a tightly connected family, each with their own part to play.
Musically they can draw upon a myriad of international influences as Colin comes from the wide open spaces of Canada, Moritz from Stuttgart, a beautiful city where he has spent more than one contemplative late night looking over the beautiful city lights. Jack, like Joe also from Surrey spent many years living in america where he developed a love of all thoughts americana, including fender guitars.

The band are already playing on the Camden circuit and have supported the likes of Nylon Sky and Evaline, and have been booked as support artists for various international festivals this year. We believe that very soon you will be seeing them as a headline performer!

Established five piece rock band 'Voodoo Vegas' have been busy touring all over the UK and Europe the last two years,
playing to large audiences in many of the countries o2 Acadamies and other large venues, building up their fan base in the process. In 2011 they recorded their first studio album, signed a management deal based in Germany, and have recently signed a contract to have their music used on US TV show 'Ring of Honor Wrestling'.

Malcolm Dome of Classic Rock Magazine and Total Rock Radio says "Finally, an unsigned band worth checking out if you enjoy The Answer. Voodoo Vegas are local rock heroes and their self-released Live album suggests they’ve the ability to take their Guns N’ Roses and AC/DC influences into their own territory. Keep an eye on ‘em."

Voodoo Vegas are a raw and explosive rock band, and have played with the likes of Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple and Black Country Communion), the Quireboys, Uriah Heep, Ricky Warwick (Thin Lizzy), Ginger (Wildhearts), America’s WWE’s star Chris Jericho’s band ‘Fozzy, Blaze Bailey (Iron Maiden) and Gilby Clarke (Guns 'n' Roses).

This band is not for the timid with their high energy, fast paced, anthemic catchy rock and exceptional stage presence.
Lawrence Case on lead vocals knows the meaning of being a front man and knows how to get any crowed rocked. It is fair to say they have been making a very big impression for themselves all over the UK as last June they achieved featured artist on 'getreadytorock.com' which gets a quarter of a million unique hits each month.

This really is as close as it gets to having the real Guns and Roses playing at Rock in the Bog!

Guns n' Roses Experience have the only singer able to deliver the exact same unique vocal style and stage show synonomous with Classic Axl Rose, and are the only tribute band to have a guitarist officially endorsed by world renowned Marshall Amps, just like Slash himself.

Together with four other Gn'R clones, these guys delivee a sound and look that is unequalled by any other band.

Since their very first gig The Guns N' Roses Experience train has been rolling at an incredible pace, visiting various Middle Eastern countries, mainland Europe, Cypprus, Ireland, and all of the major cities and venues in the UK.

With a true GN'R soun andtage show, The Guns N' Roses experience meticulously recreates every visual detail and every musical note to capture that reckless spirit of the original legendary live performances. In a bone crushing 2 hour set all the essentials are covered with breath taking accuracy, including Welcome To The Jungle, November Rain, Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City, Mr. Brownstone, You Could Be Mine, Nightrain, Rocket Queen, Knocking On Heavens Door, and so much more.
