#29 15 May 2004 GOThMag presents Venn Festival, Cube Microplex

About 15 acts performed each act took up half of the stage and played for 20 mins. the next act would begin 5 minutes before the end of the previous. a curtain hung on a washingline across the stage was employed to mask the act once finished (and encourage to finish on time/ begin on time)

here’s the full show.. i’m not sure which act appears when but i think it starts with bucky and you can hear the keepers of the fire around 50mins in
