Haven't been for a few years, did go this year, was truly excellent. Such a quality event. Had such a good time just wanted to know if anyone else was there?

Yep-I only live 1/2 a mile away so decided 7 years ago that if you can't beat'em, join 'em & have been every year since. Great event again this year-highlights for me---Ade Edmonson & the Bad Shepherds, Lau, & of course, Booker T. Shame about the downpour on saturday evening-I emerged from the main stage tent after watching Booker T and came face to face with monsoon conditions-My missus sat it out under her umbrella!!

I missed Lau, unfortunately. But the rain did me a massive favour - it was obviously about to come on, and their were rumours of a big storm, so I took myself and family into Stage 2 and we saw Diana Jones (very good) and Mairtin O'Connor etc - which was absolutely massive. Brilliant.

Highlight was def Crooked Still on Sunday in Stage 2 - fantastic band.

We jumped n the car and drove back last night - still quite excited though. Haven't been since 2001 (quite a few times before that, stretching back to the 21st) and the quality is superb. You can go to any act there and be 100% confident of a great show.
