Hi all

Name : funkyfairy

Age : a fairy never reveals her age

Campsite (if applicable) : N/A

Veteran of how many V years (or Vnewb) : Been to every single one, never missed one. From the original days of Blur and Pulp, and living around the world, always come home for annual pilgramage to V

Most looking forward to seeing : Faithless, Doves (eek the clash) , Florence, and Paloma Faith (what a voice) and chilling in a tent or two finding new bands - One Eskimo and Vagabond great last year

Fascinating fact : The last time Faithless played I was near the front, absolutely loving it, and totally into it. After it finished the girl by the side of us handed us all VIP tickets for the bar/food area as we had made her happy watching us all having an amazing time.... next stop was free beer and smoked salmon to fill up and cool down

[BillyH88]

This will be my first EVER V Festival (and first post, hello ), the moment I saw the word 'Faithless' I knew I had to come - been wanting to see them live for years! Got my ticket just after 9am, was frantically refreshing Ticketmaster until they went on sale!

Veteran of how many V years (or Vnewb) : 3

Most looking forward to seeing : All the little dickheads throwing cups of warm wee thinking they are some sort of tough guy essex gangster only to then be clobbered by the girl standing behind them.

Fascinating fact : V festival organisers spend the rest of the year working for the home office. Why else would they make us fork out good money only to have to wait in queue to buy drink tokens, then wait in another queue to collect a drink, then to wait in another queue to dispose of the said drink after our bodies have absorbed its alcoholic goodness.
