Traffic Management at UK Festivals

Hi fellow festival goers! Im currently researching into traffic management at UK festivals for my third year dissertation. The majority of festivals i have attended i have spent hours stuck in traffic waiting to get into the festival and out! I want to find out why this happens and if there are any ways to improve it. I would find it incredibly helpful if you could take part in this very quick questionnaire to help with my research http://kwiksurveys.com?s=LIMKGL_49586734 Any furth

please let me know if you like my idea !

Hi ... i'd just like to ask if it would be possible for you to give me feedback for my uni work? I'm currently studying advertising and have been tasked with a project where I have to create something with the Apple brand for music festival goers via a form of social media. I have come up with a concept and would love to have some feedback from you as you are part of my target audience. My concept is the following; "Jam with a Music Artist" -- Apple will be hosting an annual online music fes

Festival Stalls

Hey guy's, just a quick blog. I am 15 and currently doing a Creative and Media diploma. At the moment we are planning a festival. It will be held on the 14th January at Hillcrest school and sixth form centre in Bartley Green, Birmingham. It will be between the times of 2pm and 5pm (possibly later) and we are aiming to get an audience of over 200 people. We are looking for people to run small stalls at the festival. Its a family friendly festival and there will be a small fee. Please mail me

My Electric picnic experiences 2011

So I'm just back from Electric picnic in Ireland.. and I don't like it a bit, I just want to session on for the rest of my life. This year I've just finished college so I had no money to buy the ticket but I had just enough money to buy some drugs and get up there with enough left to feed myself for the weekend. I went up early on Friday with a small gang of friends and my brother, all of which had tickets. I was going to be sneaking in alone. The only word to describe being left outside

What kind of f**kery is this? - Amy Winehouse RIP

I'm not one to get all mawkish about the death of someone I don't know. And if you try juggling knives then why be surprised if they cut you? She did what she did and the consequences are hers. All the same - and I don't say this lightly - the world of music has lost a huge talent. In the 13 years I've been writing about festivals and the acts I've seen there, I can't think of any act who's talent has jumped out and grabbed me in such a strong way as Amy Winehouse. I first saw Amy and hear

bands I've seen ... but wished I hadn't (Part 1)

What you like is what you like; you don't have to agree with me. Ali Campbell UB40's ex-frontman is now out on his own. The fall-out with his brother and other UB40 members looks like it's pretty large - perhaps as large as Ali himself now is in his ill-fitting suits - because the set contained absolutely no original UB40 compositions as far as I could tell. All you get linking back to then is the classic covers - 'Red Red Wine', 'Kingston Town', and the like. Meanwhile, Ali himself puts

arrival Glastonbury 2011

Here we are again. We arrived in the campervan fields yesterday. The journey in the campervan uneventful. We set up the awning, and settled back in the long grass and the sunshine. Z was excited as her school is out the way, it's the first year she is able to come before Friday. As the sun set we lit the BBQ, and suppered on burgers and haloumi. A few beers, and the obligatory look at the site at night all lit up and waiting for us it was off to bed. We were woken by voices, and the trudged of

Relentless NASS Festival

So yesterday I got confirmation that I’ll have press access to NASS Festival 2011. I’ve been the past few years as a punter and it has never failed to disappoint. This year looks even crazier than before! The festival has certainly upped its game in terms of music and sports. With Nero and Sub Focus- two of the biggest dubstep and drum and bass producers playing the main stage on the Friday night and then Tinie Tempah fronting the main stage on the Saturday night. With Millencolin, Cancer B

HELP

I went to TITP last year and it literally was the best weekend of my life. Anyone else agree? Since last year I have moved to Australia with my family but I am returning to Scotland in July for TITP 2011. I was informed that my ticket would probably not get to me before I leave to go to Scotland so I am now collecting it at the box office. Has anyone else had to do this? What must I bring as confirmation and will I be able to line up with my friends as normal etc or will I have to go to a differ

No Festivals booked! Whats Goin' On?

Yes - We had decided we would give Glastonbury a miss this year - but the intention was to do at least a couple of others - not sure how that is going to pan out - we will see - I think my priorities have changed - yes Trudi sort of likes festivals and it has really helped her with dealing with noise and crowds but really she mostly liked them becase she missed a bit of school here and there - plus she is going to be at secondary come September and I dont want her skipping any school there if

"JOYEUX NOEL" STILL = JOEL

Everybody has him on their minds - everybody knew they would - its been a strange couple of months - Things like this can lay you bare / expose you if you are brave enough? You let it happen and hopefully get through it - I am not depressed and I am surprised at that but I also know that any time that old devil can sneak up on you and this is the time it tends to happen. Instead of getting him (Joel) a £20 in a xmas card as it would have been if he hadnt been taken from us - Instead im gettin

Thinking of You!

Well first can I give a little catch up we went to Glasto with daughter and friend and it went well ... I think - was tough in places but I much prefer having to deal with Heat than Mud/Rain . Trudi's little Chinese friend Shuang left us at the start of the summer holidays - She is back with her family and although its not perfect for them (at the moment anyway) I think it was best for us and Shuang. Trudi seemed to get increasingly uptight and it was going to ruin their friendship - Turns out t
