Long Division Festival
Long Division Festival took place in the city of Wakefield between 2011 to 2023. Created off the back of a local fanzine, Rhubarb Bomb, it initially celebrated the overlooked, under-appreciated local music scene, before growing and expanding to become a nationally respected annual event. But the journey wasn't without difficulties. Founder Dean Freeman, who steered the festival throughout it's lifetime shares insights into how a festival like Long Division fights to exist in the modern world, whilst also looking back at the memorable moments the festival brought. Alongside the story, told in short, zine like chapters, the book contains over 500 photographs and contributions from notable friends of the festival including Holly Ross (The Lovely Eggs), James Smith (Yard Act), John Robb (The Membranes), Robin Ince (Comedian, Writer), Sam Duckworth (Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly) and more.
