It's been all over the news lately. Wood smoke from stoves is really harmful. What does this mean for the festival? Will it have to ban wood fires? It seems to be the new environmental topic. How will continuing to burn wood fit with the festivals eco image?

Last fest we traveled in two groups. We got there first and taped off enough space for our friends to pitch their tents when the arrived. We went to grab some food and when we got back to wait for our friends and found some prat had pitched his tent inside our tape! They were nowhere to be seen so when our friends arrived we moved this other tent outside our space so they could pitch theirs. Later that night we have this angry guy shouting about our moving his tent. According to him we can't tape off space like that. He was a right d*ck. My friend told him if he didn't piss off we'd move his tent over the fence. He was giving us evil looks for the rest of the festival. 

Who knows. Truck is south but it's in Oxford so still a long way off being close to Portsmouth.

Hope a great solstice was had by all. I'm starting to wish I'd made a blood sacrifice now, but hey ho, there's always the summer.

There is a headliner missing... and I am not expecting many other names outside the ones from the contest.   Definitely not 50 names left, there should be more like 12-15 additions, counting 24-26 acts per day. So the remaining headliner, 6 (I think) from the contest and 5-8 extra.
