Summer Sundae

Posted by hilaryos 21 June 2006

This is a great festival for people who want to hear some new bands alongside old favourites. There are four stages but it's on a much smaller scale than events like Reading or Glastonbury so you don't spend the whole weekend hiking from one stage to the next. There's also an indoor stage - great when it starts to rain - and, even better, indoor toilets. This year's line-up includes the Proclaimers and Belle & Sebastian, and there are lots of up-and-coming bands too. At £75 for three days it's pretty good value for money.
