Thread Name: Your favorite festivals
Subject: RE: Your favorite festivals
Oh well, I know the post says music bu my favourite was the first couple of years of the Conwy Festival which was really a street festival.

I loved the atmosphere in the town, seeing the jugglers, some magic, some street theatre - some of the acts were fantastic, chatting to some of the street traders on the quay and joining in with the music down there. There was of course other music, a few buskers and bands around the town and also concerts in the civic hall in the evening that tried to cater for all tastes, maybe Rock one night, Folk another... A couple of my favourites were Flaco Jiminez and the Tex Mex band and an excellent folk rock band called You Slosh - I wonder what happened to them.

Sadly as time went on, the funds got lower and less happened particularly on the streets but I have some great memories, especailly of the early ones.
