It looks like preparations for this years Indietracks are well in motion, like the wheels of a lovingly maintained steam train funnily enough.

They’ve got a new blog too, on which they’re asking for people to run DIY activities at Indietracks, details are pasted below (Edit: in an awful looking block quote, oops, must do something about that) -

Here at Indietracks Towers we’re busily preparing for this summer’s festival. Bands are being invited, and websites and flyers designed as we speak. And, as always in the run-up to July, we’ve our ear to the streets to find out what you want at this year’s festival. Do feel free to post a comment with your ideas!

One suggestion we’d like to introduce is to have some fun extra-curricular activities at the festival this year. It would be great to get everyone involved in some fanzine-making, music-playing or craft-crafting. So, we’re asking whether any of you fancy running these activities? This could involve anything really. Maybe…

- art and craft / drawing / knitting / badge making
- music / songwriting / ukelele playing / drumming
- poster designing / fanzine making
- how to promote gigs / start a record label - quizzes / board games

We’ll find you a suitable area – maybe even a section of steam train! – and of course, you can have a free ticket to the festival.

If you’re interested, please write to indietrackspress@gmail.com in the next week or so.

Indietracks will take place on 24-26 July 2009. We’ll have some news about this year’s festival very shortly!!

Ace, it’s a lovely few days out and I’d definitely recommend the festival to you, even if you don’t run a workshop.
