Rain And Shine - Canterbury Music Festival (The)

\m/ My Favourite Summer 2009 Music Festival Experience \m/

Advantages: Fantastic Experience, Great Music, Lovely People, Wonderfully Organised
Disadvantages: Maybe Pricey For Those Not Into Music As Much

breathtaking! (The fact I find him stupidly attractive probably helped slightly) I?ll sadly admit to shedding a tear when he sung ?bother? which is one of my favourite Stone Sour songs anyway, he has a quality to his voice I have always found completely endearing. It was most certainly my highlight to the weekend. Singing happy birthday to James Hetfield (lead singer of Metallica) when they finished their set on the main stage on Sunday evening was a close second. It was a good giggle watching the boys throw custard pie each other on stage and thank the crowd for making James birthday a good one. Conclusion --------------- A final word on the subject will simply be to anyone who has never been to a music festival, you?re missing out on a great experience, and anyone who has been and likes rock music, then Sonisphere is my recommendation. It?s new ...

Review of What was your favourite Summer 2009 music festival experience?

Festival fun in Hertfordshire

Advantages: good family fun, local bands, stalls and activities
Disadvantages: Saturday can be a bit loud for the kiddies

says it's for children 16 years plus but I got a leaflet offering activities for younger children the other week (not that I know where I put it!). The trustees of the Trust organise nature walks and such for school groups and care for the horses and cows they have living on the land. I'm dragged there regularly to visit the horses and see any new ones that have arrived. Anyway back to Music on the Moor ... It's well worth the trip. Get a picnic sorted, invite some friends and relax to some music. There's always a good atmosphere and it's free so if you think it sucks then you're not out of pocket! Apparently more then 100 local bands applied to play on one of the two stages at the festival. Saturday: rock, pop, r 'n' b and funk Sunday: classical, jazz and easy listening According to a local paper last years festival attracted about 4 ...

Review of Moor Music Festival (England)

RIFFS, SPLIFFS AND MUSIC FESTIVALS

Advantages: Interesting read, informative
Disadvantages: Not a complete history of 60's music

"The sixties began in the summer of 1956, ended in October of 1973 and peaked just before the dawn on 1 July, 1967 during the set by Tomorrow at the UFO Club in London." With this statement Joe Boyd sets the tone for his fascinating and very personal potted history of popular music in the 60's. In fact the book is more of a sketchy autobiography of Boyd than it is a complete guide to music in that period. He by no means covers the subject extensively but rather personally however since he was such an influential part of the 'scene' at that time his personal recollection do cover a very wide span of music and the music does give you a cultural feel for time. Joe Boyd is an American born in 1942 from a white very middle class background; he first discovered a love of music from listening to his parent's old scratchy blues and jazz ...
