When I drove past after work at 6pm, I noticed them working on a bouncy-castle type surround thing for the stage.

Though, I've been told since that it has been taken down as it wasn't working the way it should?

Raining again now. I hope to heck the rain doesn't ruin what should be a fantastic weekend.

Saw some of Big Generator last night. They were very good I thought.

Looking forward to the Corona's tonight. Just hope the thunderstorm just past is the last we see of rain for the day!

excellent weekend congrats to all committee organisers and staff, thought mundy was poor bet the rest of the line up was pretty sound, the crowd for thecoronas was pretty sizeable i thought. got a bit damp but managed to keep out of the worst of it on saturday.

great festival hope it spurs them on to bigger and better

Have to say, was the first time I ever saw the festival and I was very impressed. Was such a pity with the weather but Saturday night was rocking in the Diamond. I thought the Coronas were brilliant and the cover version of "Hayday" had everyone singing.

Well done.;)

Yeah, overall, the festival was fantastic. Fair play to all the gang who were constantly going around lifting beer cans and litter etc.

Hopefully, the weather will be better for next year, though it didn't deter too many!
