Review By Ben Dorey, NOWTHEN SHFFIELD MAGAZINE

PEACE IN THE PARK FESTIVAL 2009
The main stage was headlined
by Mojo and the
Beatniks. This long-standing Sheffield
outfit are pretty much designed for
such an event and pulled it off with
aplomb. Heavy psyche...delic blues
were complemented by, amongst
other things, a didgeridoo, a harp
and towering frontman Matt Critchley,
whose frenzied presence helped build
things up to such a level of intensity
that the scene wouldn’t look out of
place on a Woodstock documentary.
A suitable end to a day that was
massively successful despite the wet
and cold. Special thanks must go to
the organisers and volunteers who
made the event happen, the South
Yorkshire police for keeping things
safe with a minimal presence and all
those who came and donated money
to Nomad and Village Aid.
