I've never been to Strummerville, with an aborted attempt to see Frank Turner a few years ago.
What's the stage setup like? Is it just acoustic stuff, or do you get full band gigs as well up there?
Every year I love the build up, Spotifying acts I don't know and falling in love with some of them. Then the final Clashfinder drops and I have a number of 3/4 way clashes every time (strangely, usually Fridays are worse every year - 2013 was a killer). Agonising at times, but that's why the place is so amazing. Like others have said, I have a few locked "must sees" every fest and treat everything else as fluid. Then I spend the next 11 months trying to get to gigs for the acts I missed. TBF, not a bad way to live!
I wheeled by trusty caravan out of it's slumber last week too 🙂
seems to have wintered OK, not damp and no mice 🙂
Some more repairs needed to one of the panels, which is coming away from the hinges - the frame for each panel is cheap wood that has just dry rotted away, I suspect when this was built circa 1982, nobody expected people like me to still be using it 40+ years later 🙂
