The Lunar Festival at the Umberslade Estate in Tanworth In Arden started yesterday (Friday), with an evening of music curated by Birmingham-based label Static Caravan, which is now releasing the work of Hannah Peel, Laura J Martin, Goodnight Lenin and Dan Haywood - all of whom will showcase their talents during the course of the weekend.

They along with scores of other musicians will perform on two stages during the four-day event and, once the music has ended, revellers can party no into the small hours at an on-site mini rave or gather around a fire pit.
