   About The Vangos
The Vangos are an 'energetic mix of indie pop and roll' according to leeds student paper. The band formed in 2007 when Matt, Mike and John recruited talented new bass player Dave. The four worked and reworked all previous material, wrote new more detailed songs until they felt that they were something they could play. Dropping songs which they recorded for a record label in Hull finally let the boys identify their own sound, which they had been searching for for a long time. New additions to their live set including 'Days go so fast', 'Ten weeks abroad' and the crowd pleasing 'we can't all be pioneers' meant the boys could get on stage and perform, have fun as friends and most importantly do what they love. From different parts of the country Matt, Mike, John and Dave were brought together by musical influences and university. Their aspiration is to see how far music can take them, put on a good show for people and ensure they have a good time. Recently working with a well known leeds producer; Bruce Wood, who recorded for nightmares on wax and the leeds city bright young things album, the band feel they have the best songs possible, a good live set, chanting choruses and a pretty good fan base warming up in leeds and yorkshire.

The Moor Music Festival

It seems like years since the last Moorfest happened and to be honest I think the weather was very much a factor in whether people enjoyed themselves or not. Some thrived in the mud whilst others wept until their dads could pick them up. Moorfest is still carving an identity for itself and in the three years that it has been established I think I can say that the one thing that most people love about it is the friendly atmosphere, and this gig is a good opportunity to meet up with friends that perhaps you haven't seen since the festival, to make new friends, enjoy quality music, get a flavour of Moorfest if you haven't already been and also to talk to the organisers in order to give your opinions on how to improve the festival.
We'll also be projecting your favourite photos that you've taken from previous Moorfests to create a live mashup that will adorn the walls of the Brudenell so please send them to bandsformoorfest@yahoo.co.uk and make sure that everyone in the picture is cool for you to use them like this.

There'll be much more to boot like gorgeous organic food, t-shirt stall, films and raffles to win tickets to Moorfest 4 which we're working on right now and aim to make it the best yet.

We really appreciate your continued support in making Moorfest what it is and hope to see you all there.

Team Moorfest x
