21 Jul 03 - 05:28 AM (#987318) Subject: Anyone go to Stainsby Festival? From: GUEST,cittern Anyone get to the Stainsby Festival this year? Great weather all weekend and some great new (to me) acts. Jiggerypipery, Serious Kitchen and Boo Hewerdine all made a particularly strong impression on me. Best regards John Robinson http://www.JulieEllison.co.uk |

Boden and Spiers were probably the most impressive for me while Dick Gaughan and Eric Bogle were up to their usual high standard. Certainly one of the best Stainsbys for a while |

From: mouldy The nearest I got was seeing it on Saturday evening from the M1, on my way back home from East Midlands airport to Yorks. Haven't been for 17 years, when we used to live not far away. It looked to be well attended. Andrea |

Concerts were great Spiers and Boden were mega, Gaughan was awesome watch out for a McDonald version of No Gods. I was a little bit rail lagged but I enjoyed it |

From: GUEST,cittern Re: sight of festival from motorway I've wondered what people make of the scene on Saturday night when they look up into a field to see hundreds of people standing in a circle while a whicker something or other (this year it was a dragon) is set on fire. Bet it doesn't do the Chesterfield tourist industry any good!! Best regards John Robinson http://www.JulieEllison.co.uk |

24 Jul 03 - 01:34 PM (#989736) Subject: RE: Anyone go to Stainsby Festival? From: GUEST,Tony Trafford Sure does. Stainsby Festival. A holding page will appear soon with pics of this year's event, and an archive of this year's site. As soon as we can get our collective brains back on the planet after this year's bash, an entirely new improved website will be up for next year's festival. |

02 Jul 04 - 05:56 PM (#1218632) Subject: RE: Anyone go to Stainsby Festival? From: Tig We used to go to Stainsby some years ago. Unfortunately it clashes with Festival at the Edge and Saddleworth - it's just not fair having to choose between three great festivals on one weekend! |

Luckily not, the Witches will be there, and the Demons too, so should be a good laugh. see ya there xx |
