Nadine Khouri After a very late night out with some Kilkenny friends, it was a sunny autumn Sunday at about 1:30pm when Nadine Khouri and her band entered the stage at the great Sc4m Festival 2016 in Winchester last September. The festival organizer, Oliver Gray, kept raving about Nadine for

David Ford Every now and then it happens, that a newly discovered act knocks you off your socks. This guy was playing on the stereo just as we arrived on time (we’re German) to a Scottish wedding ceremony and we were instantly blown away. Well, I thought it’s the circumstances

John Blek & The Rats I'm not kidding you: it seems like they could become some kind of mascot for the Static Roots Festival: after playing the headline slot at Static Roots 2016, John Blek & the Rats will be back for next year’s festival (9 / 10 June 2017)!

Excellent review from the guys over at LonesomeHighway.com: "The success of any festival is all about knowing your audience when considering your line up and in this regard Static Roots got the mix absolutely spot on. With the large contingent of visitors travelling from Ireland and the U.K., a number of the carefully selected acts invited to play were guaranteed to hit the spot and the inclusion of one of Germany’s top roots bands and

Auch die Ruhrbarone berichten über das Static Roots Festival
