Well I thought this year was bloody fantastic too. And I got engaged to MC Fat's wife, I'm just waiting for her double divorce to come through.

Anyway, about the Festival.

Yup, brilliant follow up to last year's wonderful fringe weekend.

Only real complaints,
1. Some of the rooms at the pub venues were a bit small

2. The Sun couldn't get an extension on Sunday night.

3. The campsite tea tent.
Why cheap chemical-rich chicken in brown sauce? Why not bacon butties?
Really slow service at breakfast. Badly organised although the young guy serving on Sunday was working really hard.
No tomato ketchup on Sunday morning.
Shut early on Sunday night.

No-one has done it better than the scouts in their last few years before they driven out by the great god 'profit', and no,it really isn't rose-tinted specs.

So, pretty good all round, but let's keep it to a weekend. There are other really good week-long festivals; but Beverly's strength has always been that it's short, sweet and very very friendly.

And bring back the Barnsley boys.
