Friday 4 August 2006, 18.00–22.00

Short listed for the 2006 Nationwide Mercury Prize, Scritti Politti play in the open air (weather permitting!) in a Rough Trade showcase, with support from The Long Blondes and 1990s, plus a DJ set from Ben Ayres (Cornershop). Bar and barbecue outside. See the Constable: The Great Landscapes and Howard Hodgkin exhibitions for half price, and enjoy the summer, while it lasts.

Performance times (approx):
18.00–18.45  DJ
18.45–19.30  1990s
19.45–20.30  The Long Blondes
20.45–21.30  Scritti Politti

Please note: This is a free event but, due to recent changes in the Licensing Law, we have to designate a ticketed viewing area. This area is on the Clore lawn, directly in front of the stage. Tickets are available from the Rotunda information desk from 18.00 on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limit of two per person if you are collecting for friends.

The viewing area is cordoned off with a low-level fence so you are still able to see and hear the bands from the surrounding garden.

The bar closes at 21.30.

Supported by Gordon's® Sloe gin.
