Indietracks

Indietracks was an annual indie pop music festival at the Midland Railway in Butterley, Derbyshire, England.

[1] The event was staffed by volunteers, with the proceeds from the festival going towards the upkeep and renovation of the site and trains.

[1] The first indiepop event held at the centre was in April 2007, organised by steam train restorer Stuart Mackay.

[2] Reviewing the 2011 festival, Malcolm Jack of The Guardian described the artists as "so obscure you have to wonder if they've even heard of themselves".

It's the annual gathering of the twee tribe – think lovers of a broad church of outsider sounds from C86-inspired three-chord shambling to riot grrrl and anti-folk.
