We're delighted to bring you one of England's greatest performance poets, musicians and songwriters, JOHN HEGLEY, plus the incredible JESSICA DELFINO from the USA, and DJs, videos and all the other stuff that makes Offline a ruddy great FREE night out!
LIVE ONSTAGE:
JOHN HEGLEY (onstage 10.45)
A favourite of John Peel, the comic, poet, singer, songwriter and legendary glasses-wearer has captivated and devastated audiences all over the country, in theatres, at sell-out gigs at the Edinburgh Festival, and with numerous appearances on radio and television.
The Observer's 'Expert's Expert' feature declared him the top fringe comedian as chosen by his peers, with Time Out describing him as "fabulously funny".
It's an absolute privilege to have him play Offline - don't miss this special performance!

EDITOR (urban75)
An ale-fuelled onslaught of ska, punk, rock'n'roll, big band, rockabilly, Mrs Mills & Liberace in a floor stomping package proving that drinking'n'DJing can be a perilous trade.
LANG & LOPEZ (The Actionettes)
A veritable platter splatter of 50s, 60s, Motown and more vital tunes from the Actionettes' very own Glamour Queens of Vintage Vinyl.
BOBBY BAUHAUS (charcoal soul)
More mysterious than Robert Smith's eyeliner bag, Bobby gets dancefloors rocking with quirky, darkside indie-pop and kohl-smudging breakbeats.
