Skiddle: The UK's biggest guide to festivals

There's so many amazing festivals out there but it can be difficult to work out which festivals you're going to attend. There's so many things to take into consideration - the location of the festival, the size of the festival, the genre of music, whether it's family friendly and the type of facilities onsite.

Skiddle's new Festivals Finder is here to make the process that bit easier. Simply use the Festivals Finder's unique festival search, which include options allowing you to search for festivals based on filters such as location; month; genres; type; size; accommodation; amenities and even the artists you've liked on Facebook!

As Romare, Archie Fairhurst’s working practice is rooted in building vivid new forms out of existing material. Playful but also deeply researched, his albums and performances are patchworks of inspirations and obsessive lines of enquiry made from a global panoply of source material.

The clue is in the name – Fairhurst called himself Romare in tribute to Romare Bearden, the lauded American multi-disciplinary artist renowned for his incisive collages. In Bearden’s process Fairhurst saw a way to approach the infinite pool of electronic music production with a more considered approach to sampling, creating music from existing sonic material and bedding themes into his juxtapositions.

For all the considered concepts and unusual arrangements, Romare is dance music at heart, and it naturally translates into the live and club environment. At times Fairhurst has pulled together a full line-up to render his music on stage – a call back to his roots playing guitar and drums in bands – but elsewhere he’s at home sequencing and arranging his music solo, re-moulding album material in the moment with the flexibility which dance music so often requires. Equally, he has DJ’d prolifically around the world with an omnivorous approach which serves as a logical extension of his studio craft, balancing hidden corners of historical investigation with the kinetic impulse of the dancefloor.
