Thanks firehazard.


Has this set of programs been shown before? It's quite late on in the year for a highlights show...

No, it's the first time they've been broadcast. Maybe the BBC have been hanging on to them to cheer us up on the dark November nights.



Great summer memories, anyway.

Not for me ... I couldn't stand Cambridge this year and have vowed never to go again.

Really? Sorry to hear that... we had a fantastic time at the festival this year. And the closing set by Bellowhead was possibly the best thing I've ever heard/seen there. Certainly the best closing act.

Oh? What was so bad about it? This year was my first year, so of course I loved it Mind you, we're planning some others for next year - really looking forward to Shepley!



Sadly I'm otherwise engaged this Friday, but have informed the parents that they'll have to get their whizzy new digital recorder thing-y working in time to catch it for me!

Yes, Friday isn't the best evening for catching the programme live, as it were. 'Twill be recorded for viewing later that night or over the weekend. Mind you, in this household no parent would be entrusted with actually making the recorder thingy work! Definitely a job for the young'uns.

I'd be interested to know as well.     Never been to CFF but debating next year whether to forego a proper holiday and just do more festivals.     This was one that we thought about.      Planning so far, Wychwood, Trowbridge, Beautiful days, Oxford  and Shrewsbury.     Been to these before  apart from Beautiful Days.     Any other new festivals will mainly depend on where Bellowhead are playing

Well.... the resaon I go to festivals is for the music, to see it ,hear it, live it and enjoy it.


Cambridge is full of people who don't care about it and only attend, as far as I can make out, because it is the place to be 'seen' and so they can say 'oh I've been to a festival'. People who will sit out side the beer tent or the stalls all day, going nowhere near the music and making so much of a racket that it is impossible to hear whats going on if your trapped anywhere near them. Even if you can get there early enough to be somewhere near the stage, the festival has now out-grown the site so much that there is not an inch of space to be found anywhere so the only thing you can do it sit, pended in like a sheep, in the baking hot sun (usually!) surrounded by increasing drunk people while not being able to see or hear the music. Moving around the site is next to impossiable as you are consently tripping over people, having to push passed them, or fight you way through the sea of garden furniture that litters the site.


I used to go to Cambridge every year but no more. I just find the whole thing deeply unpleasent and as much as I love the music I'm just not willing to put up with it
