Thanks for the suggestion Beerqueen. Oddly enough I have camped on the land of Farmer Phil's Festival. One of my friends (Jamie) somehow managed to hire the site for his 60th birthday celebrations - during covid and when one could still meetup in groups of 30. Jamie and other friends had the equipment hired for a silent disco. The weather was perfect, the site was perfect etc In addition the 2CB I was given was perfect. I asked around me if anybody else saw a squadron of drones playing a merry dance in the sky. It was then that I was told that I was looking at the stars, and that there were no drones in the sky. We went around the clock that night, with assistance of an open real log self feeding wood fire to keep us warm ( And then at about 7.30am we heard the sound of French horn(s) going off. And then suddenly a 'real live' hunt came over the hill we were facing, and down the hill and almost through us, but actually slightly around us. It was the whole works - the foxhounds, the people on horseback with red jackets, and people on quad bikes too. I am flexible on when my 60th can be celebrated. I'll be quite OK if it isn't as well. -
You're missing the point (again). No one cares if there are pop acts (or EDM, R&B etc) at the festival. Diversity is to a certain degree nice and makes sure that everyone can find something they like. It's if/when pretty much whole days are being set aside to other genres than what people have been used to the last 15 years, it becomes a problem. I don't know how many years you've attended RW, but it's becoming more and more obvious for some of us. This was the case this year, and next year's Sunday currently looks like another example, although one still can hope for something different. -

I very nearly got to Bearded Theory, but fell at the last hurdle. We even went as far as to have two tickets for it as well as a campervan ticket. We were very much all prepared to go. However, 2 years before that years Bleared Theory, me and my wife had booked this place (see below). It was at a time when we had more money than sense. https://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/search-and-book/properties/kingswear-castle-8737/#Overview The thing is, we'd booked the place (and paid for it) two years before, and had forgotten all about it. And then we were suddenly hit with going to this castle for a few days and then going to Bearded straight after. Unfortunately the last section of that did not happen. We (my wife and two friends) were so indulgent at the castle that, at one point, I turned to my wife and asked her if I had died, and was this the afterlife 'We really did have a barmy (but thoroughly enjoyable) time while there. The above made getting to Bearded totally impossible. It was such a shame because I had really wanted to go. Not only that but I never had the time to pass on the tickets for free to someone (you will be startled to know that I have done that successfully before with two separate year Glastonbury tickets). -

My apologies for the lack of my presence after posting a request for info from you all ( you beautiful people). Unfortunately (or fortunately - the jury is still out) my wife's mom has just died. We had been putting up waifs and strays for Christmas. People who would have been on their own otherwise, and then this suddenly has come along. It's OK though as she wanted to go and was in her early 90's. It's also OK because my wife's OK about it. Anyway, that's why I have only just re-visited efests. I would like to upvote all the posts other than my own, but can't. I will now (out of appreciation) try to answer all of the above posts after my last post -one by one. This may not sound much, but if you were in my head you'd know just how tricky it'll be. Please do note that it may take some time to complete. You are all a Oh, and if I may go off on a kind of tangent on the star front, if you haven't seen this already, it's worth a watch Right now to answer everyone in detail. Yikes! -

Is there any chance that London grammar could be added ?
