I finally felt I could justify properly joining in the festival. I saw one very good live band, China Shop Bull in one of the smaller tents, as well as a bit of The Beat who were great. Once again, I ended the night in the dance tents. The whole thing closed a lot earlier on the Sunday. The cries for “more, more, more” were met by shouts of “out, out, out” by the security, and but for a spot of “lunging” (don’t ask) in another tent that was still open, the festival was pretty much over.
For me to do a proper review of the festival would not really do it justice because, as a “stall” holder, I didn’t really see all that much of it – I didn’t even see the main headliner, Supergrass, for example – but I would say, apart from the problems with the delay at the start, the whole thing went very smoothly. It is an excellent site for a festival, with a good variety of music, and just the right size, I would say. Everyone I met seemed to have a good time, and it’s also a good festival for families, with a lot of kids running about having fun. I will definitely be going back next year, and would recommend it to anyone. Also, if you’re heading south, on your way back you can choose to, as I did, take the amusing diversion via Llanddewi Brefi. To be honest, it’s a fairly ordinary looking place, as you might expect, but I did spot two people wearing PVC shorts and t-shirts, debunking the lie circulated by the BBC that there is only one gay in the village.
