Thanks GUEST Joe G it is rarely if ever there is any feed-back given on the festivals mentioned on Mudcat, which is a great pity. Almost begs the question if 'catters ever go to any of them.

The Fastnet seems to have dropped completely off the board.

One festival that does seem to have had loads of comment was Labour Live Festival – Anybody go to it?

Performers at the festival included Levi Roots, the musician who invented Reggae Reggae Sauce, comedian Eddie Izzard and musicians Clean Bandit, Rae Morris, “ The Voice winner” Jermain Jackman and the Magic Numbers.

Apparently if you did attend you can count yourself among the “Few”.

Couple of good comments relating to it -

1: Apparently people who paid £35 for tickets were complaining about paying that price when other people paid £10 or nothing. Which I found amusingly ironic, given that's precisely the unfair socialist society they're pushing for. Thing is, they're not used to being the ones paying for it. NOW they know how it feels.

2: "The food stalls were fabulously middle-class: cardamom flapjacks, Persian herb frittata.

Back at the Momentum tent, a performance poet was reciting a lengthy satirical work about gentrification."

Irony anyone?

They hope to run it as an annual event.
