Checking out happenings on the UK & European Music Festival Scene.

Summertime is a time for taking the family away for a holiday, relaxing on a beach, or by the po.. Oh no it isn't, it's Festival Time! What could be better than taking in the best of the world's musical and artistic talent whilst enjoying the outdoor life, living under canvas, staying up all night to party, and getting totally mashed on strong cider? The good folks who frequent Peace and Love are fond of these activities and partake every year, and here is where we share the experiences, good or bad, with you.

The Festival Crowd - You could be there too

2007 saw us attend loads of events around the UK and for the lucky ones, in mainland Europe too. Fortunately between us we were not too out of it all the time to completely forget what went on. The Reviews Section is a comprehensive round up of the best of last year, plus a look back to selected events from recent years gone by.

Find out which new bands we tip for big things and which old timers justify their reputations as legends. Also see who failed miserably to entertain us and who are destined for next year's bargain bins. You may not agree with all (or any) of it but if its opinions you want, we've got 'em.

The good beard guide - a comprehensive look at festival beards is included in our Guides section

Ever wondered just how far you have to walk at Glastonbury. Which items you can get into the Rock n Blues weekend. And exactly what goes on after 11.00 at the Bulldog Bash.

We skip all the professional advice offered by the official sites to give you the best Festival Guide written not by a broadsheet hack or a music paper reporter, but the people that matter - the frontline punters. Er that's us!

It's rough, especially around those nasty little edges, but invaluable to the prospective festival goer.

Winner - Funny T Shirt 2004

Here it is. The Blue Ribband section of the web site. The Awards pages are our tribute to the festival year. Find out what we rated the best and worst of the year. Bands, food, toilets. Its all here.

It was the need to roll out the awards to a wider audience that was the catalyst for this whole web site. So all pay homage to these pages. The Awards for 2007 will soon be online so have a look in the near future and see what we thought of the festival year that was.
