Newsletter: UK GIGS COMING UP PLUS - FUNKTION ONE AT THE VINSPIRED LAKE OF STARS FESTIVAL 2009

The rumours are true - this year we are taking the mighty Funktion One sound system over to Malawi to power the main stage and beach bar. This is a system like no other - the sounds of Lake of Stars will be heard across the waters to the shores of Mozambique!

Massive thanks to Tony, David and Ann for making this happen.

Thanks also to Stev, Craig and Matt from Audile, Drew at Studiocare, and Dave from DBTechnologies - the production standards of this year's vLOS will be immense.
