Rain And Shine - Canterbury Music Festival (The)

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... Read review

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

Apparently more then 100 local bands applied to play on one of the two stages at the festival.

...Well as my Dover castle review seemed to go down rather well with ratings received, and this is a rather local attraction to me, I thought I would do a review won Canterbury cathedral. I can view this beautifully from my office window on my construction site, which I think is a privilege really. History of the Cathedral Well I should think most people know something about the cathedral and its history but I will merely scratch the surface of it in this review im sure? The Cathedral was founded in 597AD by St Augustine who landed on the south east corner of England as a missionary from Rome. St Augustine was given a site in Canterbury to set up his church and this was St Martins, which still stands today. This was given to him by the then King of England Ethelbert. This Church was used throughout the Roman occupation and in... Read review
