It is a small but very well organised festival with a very professional approach, I was most impressed. Thanks to all the organisers of A1. |

15 Jun 04 - 07:16 PM (#1208144) Subject: RE: A1 festival From: Stepper It's mainly a bluegrass festival but it featured a fantastic Irish band called Taeda and some other European groups playing both bluegrass and other styles. If you enjoy bluegrass/american music there was groups of musicians picking in several corners. Lots of concerts, workshops etc. All on one sight, there is a pub in town but evrything you need is om sight. It is a lovely venue, Sacrewell Farm. Restaurant, bar, toilets, showers, bunny rabbits, hens, peacocks..... lots of sunshine to this year:-) |
