WIN! Tickets to the Homefires festival
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly May 28th, 2007

Got an unseemly gap in your social calendar this coming weekend? DiS has got two pairs of tickets for each day of this year's Homefires festival. We're at Primavera, so you can have 'em if you like.

Taking place at Conway Hall in Holborn's Red Lion Square, Homefires IV will strive to continue "showcasing the best of left-field *quiet* music" this Saturday and Sunday (2/3 June). The bill is topped by Nina Nastasia and Bat For Lashes, and also features DiS Recordings' Emily Haines.

For full details see below, but for the chance to win tickets for yourself and a friend/enemy/lover/A.N. Other to one day of the festival, first answer this simple question:

'Homefires' is a festival for 'quiet' music. Your house is on fire. The entire downstairs, in fact, is wracked in flame. You and your childhood sweetheart are upstairs, and the only choice left is to jump or burn. As you gaze through the smoke into each other's streaming eyes, what quiet song would you choose to soundtrack this moment?

No need to email anyone - just leave your answer as a comment below, making sure that you STATE A PREFERENCE FOR SATURDAY/SUNDAY in the subject line. This is important, yes? Line-up:

Saturday
Nina Nastasia
Adem
Fionn Regan
St Vincent
