Product Description
Product Description
Hot tips, practical advice and stories are shared in the only guide you need to the great British festival season. Here is a concise, handy guidebook to the best music festivals in England, Wales and Scotland from folk and indie to rock extravaganzas. Comprises a travel guide, gazetteer, seasonal calendar of events and websites all spiced with brilliant features and photos of this joyously British phenomenon. Written by Sharon Watson, TV journalist and dedicated festivalgoer.
From the Author
With the festival scene exploding right across the UK in the past few years, I'm amazed that no one has written a guide like this before. It was fun to write but even more fun to research - by going to as many festivals as I could feasibly manage.

What a great book for all potential festival-goers, specially those who want to see all sides of festival-going, not just a list of what to see and where to go. I recommend this to all music lovers, and not just those with children in tow ...

I stumbled on this book quite by chance via a series of obscure links. Why isn't it being advertised or promoted anywhere??????
Its great - loads of handy info and detail, not just on festie listings, but also on stuff like the history of the UK festie scene, what's best to cook, what to avoid etc etc - all in a tongue-in-cheek style and not all pompous and serious like the Rough Guide or Lonely Planet books.
The author clearly knows her stuff and obviously spent a lot of time going round dozens of festivals to produce this. The end result is well worth it - everyone who has seen my copy has thumbed through it for ages and tried to borrow it, lol.

A lovely, portable companion written with verve, experience and the true passion of a devoted festival-packer. I would happily recommend this book to anyone interested in music and the festival experience, even to the point of sneakily putting a copy in the backpocket of a passerby. It's affordable, high-quality and totally worth it when you're in your tent waiting for the next stage performance.
