LINTON MUSIC FESTIVAL

[gratedenini]

Next week.... FRi 19th -Sun 21st

Small fetival just off the M50..... but looks a canny line up---- not least the fantastic return of GANDALF MURPHY AND THE SLAMBOVIAN CIRCUS.

Anybody who caught this band at Rythmn Fest last year would travel many a mile to see them again--and that applies to us.

Also some stalwarts as in DR FEELGOOD, NINE BELOW ZERO, MIKE SANCHEZ etc etc.

Should be good... look out for THE ORANGE MAN flying... please come for a share of edible,drinking and partaking delights!!!

my parents get free tickets every year from the organisers of this fest, it seems to attract big crowds for such a small festival in an even smaller part of the world! Clearly popular and is well ran so good luck to them i say!

Credit Crunch reply... are your parents using their tickets????

..extract from mail to organisers..... this was a "return to normal" festival..just music and a few BBQs in a field behind a pub in the country..highly recommended....

<<Just returned from this years fest... a long 6hr drive!!

Anyway--glad we made the effort to come down--was well worth it.... from the moment we arrived at the camp site and our cararvan got stuck--Rob towing us up-field to a more suitable spot..to leaving--cant say anything other than we had a great time.

Some observations... The Bands..... well tbh---for a festival of this size---- there was no duffers at all...and to get the likes of Key Frances and (personally the whole reason for us going) Gandalf Murphy... WOW--- blooody well done!

The Mowtown caper--well not TOO sure about that--but seemed to go down well enough, but nobody in the camp site we spoke to felt it was their cup ot tea.

Stewards.... brillliant.Nowt else..just really really good and enthusiastic people.

The Beer.... a good selection at reasonable prices.No complaints.

Food.... well a bit limited I suppose...and with our lass preferring veggie...but..space being as it is etc etc. Good job we brought some bait ourselves.

The Auction..... well yer bugger...... I seen our son on stage being held up as if he was being auctioned... I shouts down from the bar area...waving my hands frantically.... Whoa whoa--- thats my boy! Up here!

Next thing --heres a lady asking me for 20 quid for the most hiddeous pair of dolls in the land!!!

Apparently I won the auction or something!!! 20 quid to get me lad back eh!!! (well it was 10 actually cos thats all i had left!!

What a hoot that.

Met some really lovely people and a few old festies we`ve known for a while...had good sing-song back at camp which was nice.

Overall--- a really enjoyable time esp with no stalls selling the usual arraay of shite---that was a pleasant change.

Only downside.... the twat of a bloke down the front who was about to clip Larmer for knocking into him with his Larmer Mobile..... I saw it happen---and I tell yer... if he`d have touched a hair on him--- he would still be in Hereford General.

I laced into him (verbally) --tbf---i was pissed--well pissed...but the boy is only 3 and couldnt help it.

Tok the edge off the night a bit---but the steward who came over was very very good about it and calmed it all down...so no harm done in the end.

Well---there you go...might see you next year--or sooner if any of you going to some fests during the summer... please look out for the ORANGE MAN flying and say hello!

Was looking for info on this festival after spotting Ten Years After were playing and came across this post. Glad I did, seemed to good to be true: £55 for TYA + Peter Green + The Hoax + Ian Siegal + 10 other bands over weekend - how do they do that? Don't know anything about the foreign bands (like the sound of the Seatsniffers!) but the UK supporting bands are real good quality - eg Stumble, Hokie Joint.

Thanks for post - feel happier parting with hard earned readies
