This summer brings the debut of 2gether08, a new festival for London sponsored by Channel 4 and hosted by PolicyUnplugged from 2-3 July 2008. On the agenda is a vision of applying innovative digital technologies (internet, mobile, games, and more) and imagination to promote:
- social progress,
- enhance the quality of public life and our collective well-being, and
- to tackle the problems facing the world at the outset of the 21st century.
The first 2gether Festival will gather 300 innovators from a wide range of fields to focus on how using digital technologies we can generate real social benefits. At its heart is a DIY spirit where workshops and panel discussions will be shaped by participants, and action items for change will be determined throughout the gathering as discussions emerge.

PRESENTING: THE HOUSE OF HEE HAW!
The House of Hee Haw! is a new entertainment production of the Hai Media Group, following a well-received debut performance of this comedy cabaret act at the Finger in the Pie festival held at Madam JoJo’s in London’s Soho, on April 6th 2008, this comedy performance group is now booking appearances in the UK, EU and USA.
This is rock ‘n roll entertainment at its best, offering an Americana-style slapstick comedy performance that is easily incorporated for any showcase evening of music, variety act line-up or as a participating artist troupe in festivals. The House of Hee Haw! can also be booked as a full club night event, for any venue, that combines original multimedia visuals with theatre, burlesque, live music, DJs, stand-up comedy, and visiting performance guests from the USA.
