SMALL WORLD FESTIVAL REVIEW

IT'S GOT BIGGER.... I'M SURE THERE WAS MORE GOING ON THIS TIME.
You gotta check out all the bands that played this stage as well as.....
The Small World stage, the Castle stage, the Box thingy wotsit stage and the bar stage.
I got to play on the Friday night on the Full Circle stage just after midnight, was great.
I have to say that one of my favorite things about this festival 
is finding myself by the fire at six in the morning after having played a gig and
talking to interesting characters about random everythings....
The Bands i got to see were stomping! 
Shame about the rain but hey, were all used to mud by now :)

BOOM TOWN FAIR 2013 REVIEW

So I got to perform at Boom Town this year on the Wandering Word stage. I am very pleased to have got booked for this festival. Ben Capp did the sound for me and I have been told that it was the best sound a lot of people have heard, amazingly clear. The Sun was out and those who were there for my gig were a pleasure to play to.
Wandering Word, a stage for more chilled out acts and Poetry, was hidden away in one of the many woods surrounding the festival. Everyone I spoke to around it was saying how it was the perfect escape from the madness that was the rest of Boom Town.
It's a proper party at this festival..... All the stages had awesome bands, the Sun stayed out as far as I am aware. If it did rain at all then I didn't notice. The escalator that takes you from Down Town to Up Town was constantly covered in people who looked like they had been awake for about twelve days.... Whilst everyone else had to dodge the festival taxis and other mad forms of transport that tried to get themselves up that massive bloody slope.
I didn't get to see the whole of the festival as far as I am aware as it was so huge. People kept telling me of places I had not heard of, would have helped if I had got a map as I wandered endlessly through all sorts of crazy areas and kept finding hidden away stages.
Arcadia was blowing some pretty massive fire balls and there were electric men shooting electricity through their heads at each other....!
I could go on, but the main thing I can say is..... If you get a chance to go next year then do it!
And if you see me in the program then come say hi and watch my loop pedaling. Nice one....

LAKE FESTIVAL 2013 REVIEW

To be fair I only really got to see the Sangers stage area at this festival as I was only there for the Friday night to do my gig. So.....
The Sangers stage was set up by the lake and was a collection of travellers wagons parked in a ring with a fire in the middle and bands on the back of a cart. It looked great with its light show, the sound was pretty good and when I got to play my set there was a fire spinner who joined me to add to the show.
Thanks to Dave for putting me on, wish I could have got to stick around.
The guys running Lake Fest were really friendly and so were the security! Had to be the most polite I have ever met, when they told me and this fella Oli that we were not allowed to bring glass bottles back into the festival, very polite and apologetic. Normally they would just get seized and drunk by someone else....
