We went last year but I bought a ticket to ATN this year instead. Himself hanging on because he loved beatyard last year and it’s walking distance from our house. Last year was cracking but standing for three days on the concrete was a killer for me. Not looking good if all had gone silent.

There are seats at benches and in deck chair lounges, but mostly if you want to sit you have to sit on the ground. I hope it's on this year as well, even though I am probably going to ATN. I think they had a better lineup last year than ATN did. But it is a bit unsatisfactory that it ends at 10.30, knowing that ATN is probably only getting going at that time of the night!

With the sun shining it was really a great weekend. My main issue was the concrete after three days of standing all day on concrete, sitting on concrete for a rest my back was in bits and I am a thirty year old with no back issues. If there’s a great line up announcement I’d be a bit sick. Although one of my favorites was the complete unknown of confidence man, they were great on stage and had the place hopping after having to fill in last minute for st Germain. Real fun act.
