Its time to tell you about Canadians In Space, this band are the most interesting, talented & entertaining act that we have encountered in all our time! Check out their story so far......

On the fifth day of October back in 1984 we were in the playground, & the Canadian Astronauts were counting down to launch. Little did we know that the lives of three young lads from a small Yorkshire village would mirror the largely overlooked efforts of the Canadian Space Agency. We are a mildly hilarious musical comedy trio from Barnsley. We have never been to Space or Canada.

We are self-professed Soap Pop pioneers, combining multi-instrumentation & three-part harmonies to sing tales of tropical fruit, identity theft & paternity problems. Think Peggy Sue meets Peggy Mitchell.

Our self- deprecating humour & dead-pan delivery has had some people literally smirking & on one occasion, a person smiled. The live show is a journey through a shared & imagined past that none of us quite remember, however every word of it is true. We have been described as the “Barnsley Beach Boys”, the “Barnsley Beatles” & more often; “just three blokes from Barnsley” which is the most accurate description & the one that we are keen to honour.

We began our musical journey in “serious” bands & as more & more people laughed at us, we looked to turn it to our advantage; they’re not laughing now! Originally a recording project, we finally launched Canadians In Space as a live act, appearing on Radio 4 Extra as part of the BBC New Comedy Awards & later performing at Bloomsbury Theatre London after reaching the final of the Musical Comedy Awards.

Following the moderately successful release of our two self-produced albums (‘Ad Finem Ultimum’ & ‘Submission’) we continue to write & perform new material dredged from the filthy banks of the River Dearne & associated tributaries (Cudworth D**e and Worsborough Res.,) Our songwriting genius has been recognised by ‘Songs In They Key of Laugh’ Podcast by winning their hotly contested ‘Best Song Contest’, pocketing a sweet £200 which was invested in the sock market as the result of a typo in an email to our accountant.

💎 Legacy DJ Announcement 💎

We have been excitedly waiting to tell you all about this special DJ, who is one of our Legacy Act bookings for this year and a perfect example of someone who is really dedicated to his art, his music, followers and his family and friends.

This ace fella really has been and seen it all on the dance scene and for many a decade now, he has shown, he does what he does for his love of music and people.

A more friendly and welcoming fella you could not hope to meet and with his lovey partner in tow, who is his agent, sidekick and guardian of many other roles and also key to making the parties happen, it is clear the two of them are eternal creators of positive waves and happy vibes for all to experience!

Its a joy to tell you that ........ DJ Clumsy......... is coming to Povey Farm this August.

Clumsy, a DJ with underground roots and superclub vibes. He has DJ'd for decades all over the North of England and beyond. In the summer you'll find him in a field playing at free parties, festivals and private events. In the winter he has his regular spots in the clubs.

He is well known on the scene as he gets about a bit and because of his bass filled antics behind the stack. What Clumsy can do to a dance floor is magic. This DJ knows how to keep your dancefloor stomping.

He is the owner and founder of the Madhatters Sound System. Resident for Stumblefunk also The Parish Church at Beatherder Festival and also Bearded Theory. This man knows how to fill a dancefloor and more importantly keep it full. His Drum & Bass sets are notoriously naughty. Many have claimed he is a badman behind the decks. He's looking forward to bringing some fyah to Povey Festival.
You have yet to be Clumsied!!!

Ey up! Look who’s coming to Povey Fest... 👀

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that New York'shire Pizza Co. will be keeping us fully fueled and dancing at Povey Fest this year! Made in Sheffield but serving up awesome vibes across England, this is a food trader experience like no other.

And the best part? The mastermind behind the pizza oven is none other than Sheffield DJ and producer legend Winston Hazel! Not only will he be serving up the finest wood-fired slices all weekend, but Winston is also taking to the stage as our Friday night main headline DJ! 🎧🔥 Talk about a double treat—he’s bringing the heavy-hitting beats to the main stage and a beautifully curated, chilled playlist right to the pizza stall.

At Povey Fest, we believe festival food should be about connection, conversation, and community, which is exactly why New York'shire Pizza Co belongs on our lineup. Their setup brings a brilliant atmosphere where you can "eat with beats" and enjoy a chat. Plus, their menu gives a respectful (and hilarious) nod to Yorkshire slang, adding a wonderful layer of local humour to their incredible food.

They'll be serving up delicious 12-14" pizzas with thin, crispy bases and fresh toppings. Because each pizza is flash-fired at 450°C in just 90 seconds, they can turn out orders super-fast—meaning shorter queues for you. Even better, their light bases mean you’ll never feel bloated, leaving you with plenty of energy to hit the Povey Fest dancefloor.

Inclusivity is at the heart of what they do, so they’ll have everyone covered with gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, vegan, vegetarian, and halal options as standard.

Whether you are queuing up for a slice of real food for the soul or dancing right at the front for Winston’s massive headline set on Friday night, Povey Fest is going to be unforgettable. Grab your tickets, bring your appetite, and get ready for the ultimate weekend! 🍕❤️
