JAC185 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I remember last year one day had Pete Doherty then Ray Davies then Bob Dylan which I thought was a pretty class run in of songwriters. At the time I did not have the money to spend so I forgot about it pretty quickly.Anyway I have just looked and Saturday this year goes Patti Smith -> Iggy & The Stooges -> Lou Reed -> Morrissey which is probably the coolest selection of humans I could see together at a festival this year. However I have never really heard much about this festival. From the nature of the lineups and the website it seems to be a pretty pleasant affair which is more what I am into in the hot sun. Getting fucked up and robbed at Reading gets tiresome after a while.So has anyone ever been to this festival or know anything about it? Quote

JAC185 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 But jesus..."Patti Smith -> Iggy & The Stooges -> Lou Reed ->"Worth it right there.Exactly. That's three of my must catch before it's too late in one go - from what I hear it's not much of a festival but I reckon this could be a perfect thing to have to look forward to in the summer. Just got a new job so might have to book a ticket to celebrate. Quote
Tater Totts Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I've been before as it is quite near me and its cool. Not a festival in the traditional Reading/ Leeds/ Download/ Glastonbury sense, its much calmer and more laid back with less people Quote
Marky Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Looks bloody good this year! Might have a cheeky buy of a ticket. Quote

Its just about within driving distance I reckon for me so I think I'll put it on me calendar. Quote
Zint Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Sounds perfect!I'd go in a heartbeat if that was anywhere close to me. Quote
