We Out Here Festival was started only last year by music industry legend Giles Peterson. A successful broadcaster, DJ and record label owner, there is not much that Peterson hasn’t tried his hand at. His music taste is global and various but he has a particular interest in jazz, hip-hop and soul. Now he can add virtual festival co-ordinator to his list of achievements! Peterson’s independent record label, Brownswood Recordings, showcases talented underground musicians from all over the world, many of whom are on the bill this weekend. We Out Here already has an impressive reputation, hailed as a lively celebration of the ‘UK’s grassroots jazz scene‘ that isn’t limited to live performances.

Whilst we can’t all be together again this year, we do have something very special planned for over our festival dates – 21-23rd August. Save the date and look out for more information coming next week! ________ Photo: Harry Jackson

Peterson definitely wants his audiences to have a good time: the Evening Standard describes him ‘bounc[ing] around‘ the festival grounds last year spreading joy. But he is also keen for his festival-goers to engage in the more intellectual and serious side of music. Last year there were talks from musicians such as Saxophonist Gary Bartz and creative workshops to attend. This year there will be a talk on Sunday evening entitled ‘Politics of Joy on the Dance Floor‘ and also one on ‘Cross Cultural Collaboration‘. Additionally, there will be plenty of workshops such as an online music production class for young people aged 9-18.

We Out Here is not the only festival that has made the decision to go digital this summer. Tomorrowland paved the way back in July with a virtual weekend that was met with positive reviews; one drawback mentioned however was occasional difficulties with sound and loading. Hopefully technical difficulties will be kept to a minimum this weekend so that we can enjoy the likes of Dele Sosemi and Amahla without having to unplug the router!

In an Instagram post, the charity announced the new name “MS Trust Home Festival” and said “The people running the real ‘Coachella’ in America won’t let us use ‘COUCH-ella’, so unfortunately we’ve had to change the name to ‘MS Trust Home Festival’. The event is still going ahead as planned on August 22, with all the same festival fun to be had, just without the soft furnishings!”

Our festival has a new name! The people running the real ‘Coachella’ in America won’t let us use ‘COUCH-ella’, so unfortunately we’ve had to change the name to ‘MS Trust Home Festival’. The event is still going ahead as planned on August 22, with all the same festival fun to be had, just without the soft furnishings! What are you waiting for? Don some glitter, dig out your wellies and bring that festival vibe to your home! Every £ raised will help make a difference for people with MS.

David Martin, chief executive for MS Trust, spoke to BBC News about the change saying; “They asked us to reconsider our name and see if there was something else we could use to avoid confusion, half of me thought ‘Shall we take them head-on?’ but in reality when lawyers get involved it costs a lot and we didn’t want to waste any of the charity’s money.”

Coachella is one of the biggest music and arts festivals in the world, usually held over two weekends in April. The event hosted 250,000 people last year. It is held in the desert at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert. The 2020 event was originally postponed to October 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, has been cancelled altogether following orders from health officials.
