The Eden Sessions is now in its third successive year, with past guest including PJ Harvey, Spiritualized, Doves, Moby, Pulp, The Thrills, and Badly Drawn Boy. It is still one of the very few outdoor musical events where you will not see any logos, advertising or corrugated iron. What you will see is plants, people and music.
