I go to this every year, or at least I do my best to, and it never fails to please on so many levels. Firstly there’s the music, which is probably my main reason for going. There’s three stages, a main stage, a cafe stage and a performing arts marquee. The main stage is ok, I did see one thing that I liked on it this year, which was a band using repurposed tech like guitar hero controllers to make some fairly enjoyable lofi music.
The music cafe had mainly a mix of folk and blue which was really nice, and great to see a hurdy-gurdy on stage in one of the bands. In fact there were quite a lot of acts on here that I enjoyed listening to. Nothing that I’d probably go out of my way to seek out, but very pleasant listening nonetheless.
Lastly there was the performing arts stage. There were a few things on this that I really liked and a couple that I intend to seek out when I have some time.
So, overall in terms of music it was a really useful, enjoyable, and left me with one or two things to follow up on. But that wasn’t the end of the day.
But I’ll save that for another post.
