Making this for tea tonight, thought I would share the recipe with you...
* Heat the oven to 180.
* Chop a biggish onion into thinnish rings and start to fry gently in large pan.
* Meanwhile make a start chopping up your veg - 2 or 3 large carrots, some mushrooms and potatoes. I usually do some and then wait to see how much more I will need as I am building up my layers so that there isn't any left over and wasted because it isn't needed.
* Once the onion has softened down a bit add 3 or 4 cloves of crushed garlic and cook for a further couple of minutes. Then add half a teaspoon of basil and the same of oregano and one and a half teaspoons of thyme. Stir into onion/garlic mix and then add half a bag of soya mince and the equivalent volume of water.
* Add the magic ingredient - 2 generous teaspoons of marmite and make sure you stir this in well so all the mixture is nice and marmitey.
* Add salt and pepper.
* You can leave the mince mixture simmering until you are ready for it but don't let it burn.
* Grease the casserole dish with oil to try and prevent too much sticking when you serve it.
* Start compiling your hotpot layers making sure to put some salt and pepper on each layer as you build (with the exception of the mince which is already seasoned). I start with a layer of potato at the bottom so that you get three layers of potato in the pot and two of everything else. Layers starting from the bottom are: potato, mince mixture, carrot, mushroom, potato, mince mixture, carrot, mushroom, jam, final layer of potato on top.
* Finally pour one stock cube's worth (190ml) of stock over the top and through any gaps at the sides. Put the casserole lid on and place in the oven for 2 hours. After one hour remove the lid. Check the level of the liquid after 20 mins and add a little further stock if required.

TURIN BRAKES - Headlining
Turin Brakes last played in Kent back in 2003 to a sell-out crowd at the Leas Cliff Hall, but they return this August for a one-off event organised by local promoters Hevy, supported by two of the UK's greatest upcoming bands.
The modern folk-pop duo comprising Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, met at a young age and spent much of their childhood together. With 500,000+ albums sold around the world and a US tour with David Gray, Turin Brakes have proven that they know their way round a robust pop melody. They are known for their elegant, acoustic guitar-driven ballads and spine-tingling vocal harmonies.
Since turning their schooldays friendship in South London into a full-time songwriting partnership, they have barely stopped. Their first batch of songs had quickly resulted in a seven-inch single released in the UK entitled "The Door EP" in 1999. By early 2000, they quickly got down to the recording of a series of singles, EPs and "The Optimist LP" (released in May 2001). Their second album, "Ether Song", was a departure from the acoustic sound that had brought them success with their first album. Recorded in Los Angeles, California, it was popular enough to reach number 4 in the United Kingdom album charts upon its release in 2003. The album produced several hit singles, including "Long Distance" and "Pain Killer", their first Top 5 single in the UK. Their third album, "Jackinabox", was released to critical acclaim much like their prior efforts when it was released in early June 2005. The album was supported by the group's first full-band tour of the United States.
Following the success of Jackinabox and its subsequent tour, a download-only album, "Live at the Palladium", recorded in London was released in November of 2005. During the same tour the band also sold the "Red Moon EP". This acoustic EP featured a new version of "Red Moon", two new songs and the Red Hot Chili Peppers cover "Breaking The Girl". The band spent the first half of 2006 writing new songs, occasionally performing both new and old work at small gigs across the UK.
In January 2007 the band entered a small studio in London to record their 4th album with producer Ethan Johns. After three weeks the band took a break (on January 29th Gale's wife gave birth to a daughter), but the sessions were resumed several weeks later. On the last day of March 2007 the band announced that they had finished the recording sessions, and recorded 17 songs. The new album, "Dark on Fire", was released in the UK in September 2007. Recording for the first time with their on-the-road band, the duo has captured the tensile beauty that has always run like a thread of steel through their songs, and set it off like a firework in the sky. The album has still got the duo's trademark lilt, but the deft melodies and dark, pin-sharp lyrics now come spliced to electric guitars, bare wires and a hefty swagger.
"It's epic," says the album's producer Ethan Johns, the man responsible for putting the production fire into albums by acts ranging from Kings Of Leon to Ray LaMontagne. "It's a beautiful record with a lot of intent. They're writing about stuff that's important to them - really honest material - and it comes through. I think we have captured some extraordinarily truthful performances."
The first single, "Stalker", is typical of the revitalised Turin Brakes approach. A tough, clanging guitar riff underpins a strangely sinister lyric which takes you inside the mind of a person nursing a creepy obsession. "Every single thing you say/I'll record, I'll replay", the pair sing in the chorus, a reminder that we live in an era when surveillance techniques are such that it has never been more tempting to play the role of a stalker. "Being in a band puts you on the fringes of that world," Paridjanian says. "You're seeking attention for your music. But to do that you're almost saying "Please stalk us - but only so far, and then you must stop"."
"It's a simple idea, but with a hidden twist," Knights says. "I've always liked doing that. ‘Pain Killer’, which was a pretty big hit for us, sounded like a love song, but it was all about Catholic guilt and fellatio and stuff. It's great fun to hear that kind of thing blasting out of mainstream radio."
The title track is perhaps the strongest statement on *Dark on Fire*. The image of setting the dark on fire popped into Knights's head as a visual metaphor for the process of creating music. "It's when you're alone in the dark and there is a point where you can either give up or you can make something spectacular happen. It was a real soul-searching moment. The phrase became a mantra for what this album is about. It's a leap of faith; the idea of truly believing that you have a special purpose in making this music."
Kid iD
Kid iD are an awesome new band from Leeds. Their current line-up of drums, bass, guitar, trumpet, trombone, djembe, percussion, violin, cello and a bucket load of vocals produce an exciting mix of Folk, Funk and Drum & Bass. Winners of the reputable Bright Young Things competition in Easter 2006 and headlining the Cockpit at the start of 2007, Kid iD’s sound soon began working its way around the country, selling out shows from Camden to Glasgow.
Syd Arthur
Syd Arthur are an underground band from the historic City of Canterbury. Their original sound draws on influences from folk, funk, rock, jazz and world music, as well as the music of the Canterbury Sound. Formed in 2005 the band have been honing their live performances and recording new material at their studio in Welling. Well known in their area, Syd Arthur have been spreading the groove at gigs, music festivals and parties; fusing a unique soundscape through their use of electric guitars, violin, bass and drums. Hailed as the "true heirs to the Canterbury sound", their infectious riffs and unique blend of phycadellic funk rock fusion make Syd Arthur one of the most exciting bands Kent has seen for years.
