Well I have to say the Slambovian Circus of Dreams and Turin Brakes were both excellent live bands !!

Steve Hackett was loud, wasn't too much of a fan of his own stuff but the Genesis stuff was good.

Well that was a load of fun !! Especially as I didn't know anything about it and just arrived at the scene !!

Not really a folk festival as suggested more of a folk rock festival.

Didn't think I would stay until the end but Fairport Convention were definitely more rocky than folky !!

I've not been in about 25 years

Sounds like it's as enjoyable as I remember it.

A mate of mine goes every year with all his old university chums. He says one of the best things about it is the No VIP areas. He found himself propping up the bar with Robert Plant once.
