Why is this worthy of my time and money?: Rockfeedback likes value for money. Doing pointless maths is also a love of ours. Figuring out that for £8.00, you can watch around fifty bands, artists and poets over 12 hours, and that it works out at £0.16p an act, that's the kind of thing that makes us grin like twats. What also warms our hearts is the sheer quality and variety of talent on show at the first 'plugged in' event from the people behind legendary Camden acoustic night IKTOMS (or 'Internet Killed the Open Mic Star'), where musical talent from around the capital gather to perform in a tiny room without any form of amplification. Many of these acts have graduated from the original night to the Wired festival line up, but there are also some cracking headliners for you to stroke your beard too (ladies), such as Gary Dunne, Jont, Peyoti for President, Aidan Smith, Gideon Conn and the inimitable Oli 'n' Clive.
