we went last year, and stomped off in dis-gust after 36 hours - really badly run, and full of very young and very violently drunk and nastily drugged people - very much on the "one to miss list"
Been going to festivals for years - this really was dreadful!

we have booked our tickets for earthwise and party neuf. Keep forgetting about cropredy - but until boys are older, or I feel able to leave my babies with someone else, we need festies that are about more than music. Went to Cropredy YEARS ago with a jolly good friend.

See you there then! .....oops, just worked it out - must need more coffee!
Would love to go - but a bit too far, and don't think I can get that time off, either.
And I need more coffee, too.

Can'tdo Party Neuf...not yet anyway. Got to wait til new person starts at work and see if i'm allowed to go.
I'm going to Spratton Music Festival with Nik, and to The Big Sessions in Leicester.

Me and t'other half might be stewarding
I've not even looked to see who's playing!
Anyone know of a decent online list of festivals and/or organised camp-type things for this year?

sounds good, I was hoping there's be more "discussion" type things at BGG last year but either there wasn't or we just didn't find them! Tis our first time at sunrise too... getting quite excited now!!
