Workhouse Festival

My first festival of the year then, Workhouse in Mid Wales, and we knew it was going to rain, we were prepared for that but I always say if I can get the tent up in the dry, the weather can do what it wants. We got the tent up in the dry and shortly after it started to rain and it didnt stop. We ventured down to the arena on Friday and were totally amazed by its size, very small, very compact but very well set out, lots of small stages, all undercover, which was needed as the rain really did no

Latitude Festival

That's Latitude festival done then, another one and the second of the year. Musically I watched Silversun Pickups, Albert Hammond Jr, Charlotte Hatherly, Elvis Perkins, The Magic Numbers, CSS, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Bat For Lashes, Camera Obscura, Arcade Fire, Jarvis Cocker, Angus and Julia Stone and of all of those I enjoyed Camera Obscura, Silversun Pickups, Elvis Perkins, Angus and Julia Stone, Albert Hammond and Jarvis the most. I was a little disappointed by Arcade Fire to be honest, a

Indie Tracks Festival

Thats another festival out of the way, bit different this one, difficult to explain how it was different, but essentially camping was at a proper campsite around a half a mile away. The campsite itself was lovely, Golden Valley near Ripley, certainly would recommend it to people who like camping, very friendly and good facilities, set in beautiful surroundings. The actual festival site was reached via a long narrow country lane which led to the midlands railway centre, hold on I hear you exclaim

Shit week.

Shit couple of weeks all told, trying to concentrate on stuff and havent really been online too much. The company I work for is shedding 20% of its workforce in march, I will know then if I am one of them, internet f**king connection is up and down more than f**king lindsey lohan, and quite frankly if one more unplanned expense comes up I will not be happy. Dont get me started on work either, I work in an industry where you have to be pedantic, but for f**ks sake people take it too far.

2007

Without getting too Arkwright, its been a funny old year, festival wise I made the move away from Leeds and Reading and if it hadnt have been for Latitude it would have been a break from Mean Fiddler and their ilk. 2008 is shaping up to be more like 2007 but certainly not the major ones that depressed me so much. It was a relly enjoyable year festival wise, the rain hardly effected me and when it should have, it didnt, it never bothered us at all. The festivals we did attend, we met some lovely
