So-called because bands originally used two trucks put together as the main stage, this festival first took place in 1998.

There are three stages including a main stage, 'Barn' stage (presumably for dance) and acoustic stage alongside food stalls, market and bars.

Camping is within a stone's throw of the action.

There's plenty of input and support from local people and the organisers hope this uncommercial event will raise plenty of money for good causes. The food is said to be cheap and served with a smile by the Rotary Club, the beer (said to cheap, also) and poured by men dressed as ladies, There is also the real ale in the Codgers Bar and ice cream flogged by the local vicar in aid of the church light fund. This year the Kids' Area will be enlarged too.

The final line up for this year’s event is yet to be announced, but in the meantime there are a few names who will be gracing the field with their presence (in no particular order):
Goldrush, Buck 65, Cristian Vogel, Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez, Black Nielson, KTB, Dive Dive, Chris T-T, Kaito, MC Lars, Trademark, Toulouse, Days Of Grace, Tiger Club, eeeblee, Villa Real, Nervous Test Pilot, The Evenings, Piney Gir, Luke Smith, Igloo, I Love Lucy, Black Madonnas, Swearing at Motorists, Sunnyvale Noise Sub-Element, The Epsteins, The Shit, Stars of Aviation, Lach, Kate Garrett, Thomas Truax, Chantelle Pike, The Henry Big Band, The Orff Orchestra, and The Schla la las to name but a few!
