Between us we’ve had 10 in a row and this was, quite possibly, our last music festival of the year. Thanks to HTC, it looked as though we may very well have saved the best for last. Creamfields has already earned a reputation and rich history in delivering the best dance music to a festival environment. The 3 night, 2 [...]

The Big Chill takes place in the deer park that surrounds Eastnor Castle, deep within the rolling hills and valleys of Herefordshire in the West of England and just spitting distance from the Welsh Border. Although as lovely as the place looked, we were not here on a National Trust weekend, we were there to enjoy the vast array of [...]

None of you I hope! If you weren’t at a festival, what would you be doing to make sure you are as clean as a [...]

Helping you choose your festival is one thing, but making sure you are fully equipped to survive and enjoy it is [...]

Last weekend I was sent to Wales, armed only with a camera and my wellies, to write a review of Beach Break Live for the good folks over at Lucozade. After 9 hours of motorways, sheep and signs with an alarming consonant/vowel ratio I arrived at the festival site chucked my stuff in a tent and headed straight into the [...]
