Welcome to Commotion‘10!
Welcome to the Commotion '10 website — the award-winning, family friendly music festival which this year featured an awesome line-up that rocked the everyone's socks off!
In a real coup, Legendary bass player Bruce Foxton, fresh from his spectacular reunion concert with Paul Weller at the Royal Albert Hall earlier this year, headlined with From the Jam, playing the classic tracks that placed his original band at the forefront of the mod revival. The Original Rabbit's Foot Spasm Band graced the main stage between playing Glastonbury and the Notting Hill Carnival, and there was a chance to see one of the hottest underground bands around — Little Fish — before they make it big!
Oxford's indie faves Half Rabbits also appeared, as well as Cooper Black and silky, sensuous lounge bar pop from Jessie Grace. The International Jetsetters line-up included members of Jesus and Mary Chain and the drummer from Ride. What a festival and all in the heart of the Cotswolds!
In addition to showcasing a wealth of established musical talent, Commotion'10 also
featured popular Oxford and local up-and-coming bands on two other stages.
We had a main stage, a new music stage and an acoustic stage and there was live music playing on all three of them simultaneously. Elsewhere we had songwriting with the Witchwood School of Rock, drumming and percussion workshops, circus acts, food and
'festival-style' stalls, bbq, cake and beer tents, face painting etc...and it kept a packed audience amused from 1pm until late.
