Nozstock!

To Festival or not to Festival?

It's been years since I last went to a festival......I'm not counting a Proms in the Park or a concert.....but one of those real stuck in the mud, sleeping in a tent (if you get to sleep), stinking until Sunday Night, dancing till dawn, and meeting completely random, fantastic, all luved (and possibly chemically enhanced) people. This was until last weekend.

I loved it but must admit that I am still trying to recover from it......

There really is nothing like a festival, you do get to meet some fantastic people, and they are all so friendly. Add to that fantastic music......a hugely eclectic mix of tastes and styles, from dub step from the likes of Dub Mafia, hip hop, the wonderful stylings of Alabama 3, Ade Edmondson (of Young one's fame) and the Good Shepherds and even the Wurzels. On top of this some truly classic dance, and a mix of various forms of alcohol and fancy dress and it was no wonder that the dancing continued until 4:30 on both mornings.

If you can get to Nozstock I would hugely recommend it. It is only a small festival with some of the best new and up and coming groups around. With only about 7,500 festival goers it is really friendly and hugely impressive the amount of work that goes into. On top of the music there is theatre, comedy and a huge range of artistic performers, which are a fantastic way to relax the morning after.

I would love to say that I took some photographs but unfortunately too much dancing, wearing a variety of rubber masks (animal.....not anything weird) and generally overheating into the small hours did not pre-dispose itself to a camera, but I would really recommend having a look on the website
