Latest Reading and Leeds Festival News

PHILL JUPITUS (Reading 22/8) hardly needs an introduction. A long standing presence in both comedy and rock n roll, Phill is probably best known as team captain on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' and regular appearances on show such as 'QI'. From the mid 80's Phill, then known as Porky The Poet, was supporting the likes of The Style Council and The Housemartins, whose Go Discs label he joined as a press officer in 1986, leaving later for his continuingly successful comedy career. A man immersed in music, Phill is a perfect comic for the Reading site and is sure to draw a huge crowd.
