Festival fever is finally upon us this Sunday as Glastonbury tickets go on sale after what seems like an age. But for those sorry souls who forgot to pre-register, hope is at hand.

Four days in muddy Somerset are all well and good, but why frolic in a field in June when you can party in a toilet this weekend at Toiletronica instead?

The brainchild of Surbiton-based musician Martin Delaney, this three day music and visual arts festival at Kingston's Toilet Gallery promises to be flush with bleeps, beats - and bleach. Something in short supply at Glasto, that's for sure.

"I've organised events at unusual venues before," explains Delaney, who has been making music on his laptop for more than a decade.

"We did one at a totally obscure bar in an office block in Chancery Lane and another at the Coffee, Cake and Kink club in Covent Garden where half the audience were scruffs from the laptop scene and the other half arrived in their favourite fetish gear!

"But when I phoned people up and asked do you want to play in a toilet?', it was still surprising how many said yes."

Over the course of the weekend, the former ladies' loo block will provide a backdrop to live performances from some of the most exciting musicians, bands and DJs around.

The confirmed acts include Mindlobster, Zoltan Kodaly School for Girls, Steranko, Don Tempi, Arktorus Rann, Frankyboy, Isnaj Dui, Yogagroove, Tokyo Joe, and J-Lab - some of which are local to the area.

But it's not all about the music. By day, the venue will revert to a gallery space, housing a site-specific and interactive exhibition by Home Sweet Home, otherwise known as artist Abigail Conway.

Conway has created boxes of flat-pack, mini cardboard loos which visitors can build and customise to create a set for the evening's entertainment. Delaney, for one, sees no difference between music and art.

"Ever since I started playing music, I've used video projections along with my tunes," he says.

"It's boring watching someone on their laptop so I produce my own visuals, as well as designing my flyers and website. For me that's nothing strange - I grew up reading comics and listening to music.

"This is what the art world is finally waking up to - that there's no distinction between sound work and video work. You can do it all at once."

And Delaney will be passing on his tricks to other budding electroheads at a special workshop on Saturday lunchtime. Less loo, more do.
