ciderbus Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 I'm with @Gnomicide .Being within hearing range of the magic teapot bongo crew was a definite irritant through the night. Better toilet arrangements at main stage would be a worthwhile change. Otherwise a great weekend. Idles won me over and it was fun to see Crazyhead for first time in a long long time. Not a punky ska fan but there was tons of choice on the music front. Big confetti singalongs with Rev and Jimy Cliff topped and tailed things nicely. Hardly queued for a pint all weekend and the food choices were sound. Think we got away with the weather a bit. Will be back next year for more of the same.

There isn’t a thing I would change. The rain didn’t bother me at all! Jumping around like a lunatic to Dubioza was my absolute highlight!!! Met the most beautiful people including the lovely @paddyclark, loved the line up and the bars! Woodland is an awesome stage and the sound from the Pallet stage was spot on. The bars were all reasonably priced and had loads of choice! And the toastie stall.. well let’s just say I need more goats cheese and onion marmalade in my life!! @Yoghurt on a Stick You have to go next year!! I still owe you many pints for making Jessie!! I’d love nothing more than to sit on the grass and talk to you in real life about your adventures!! I will be there every year from now on without a doubt. Hello Curlygirl, So, so glad that you had a belter at BT. It's a shame you didn't bump in to Jamie, but never mind. Maybe I'll be able to introduce him personally next year. In fact, I'm pretty certain now, that BT is the only festival I'll be aiming for next year. I may well 'bolt on' other(s), but think that BT will be the only one that I'll try to get Early Bird tickets for. As to talking about my real life adventures, I think I must have detailed them all on here by now. I'd rather look forward to hearing your real life adventures. All the best.

Way more going on than festivals of its size, excellent food and the woodland and its bar is excellent in itself. For an early Bird price of £100 hard to see anything better. Good mix of music and a good audience. Pity you couldn't get rid of that weird lanky bloke in the loud tie-dye shirt, though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perks Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Good to hear all the first timers enjoyed it, it really is a great party Once again, I cant fault it, I was lucky not having too much trouble getting in. I love the vibe and even though its got bigger (doubled in size since my first one in 2012) it still keeps that same atmosphere and friendliness. Music highs for me were Thurs - Rev, Friday - PizzaTramp, Sat - Therapy? and Sun - Dubiazo Kolektiv Good times and roll on next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello mr gumby, I never had you down as being lanky. In fact, in my minds eye I had you down as being quite the opposite. Oh well, you live and learn.

Happyscotsman Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Wow, what an amazing festival that was. I enjoyed every aspect of it music, food, beer, vibe etc Best part though was making friends with the best group of campers ever, especially @Curlygirl & @paddyclark.

I was giddy on life, live music and cider as I ran up to Newton Faulkner at 2am across the surf club car park, shoutin* Mr Faulkner would you sign my set list please .... to be fair to him he was lovely, I was giddy, and bless him he had to be up at 5am to catch a flight out .... I seriously left my dignity in that car park ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS_Jack_III Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Does anybody else know why Altern 8 were about 4 minutes late for their set? I'd all but give up 1am, went to get some food before bed then on my way out of the field I noticed they'd started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
