5.0 out of 5 stars We're putting the music up here for free..., 1 Jun 2006
By Alan Burridge (Poole,, Dorset. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

Festival is the 21st century: a community of merchants, bums and drag artists ritually celebrating the runes of the Rock Era - the ancient words of the witch gods: Jagger, Dylan and Morrison.
Around the hills and valleys of southern England roam primitive tribes, trading in dope and beer, surviving on a decaying technology, talking a hybrid of cockney, West Indian and rock slang, feuding and raping, and speeding on 'crystal', while their despotic leader Iggy plans to invade Festival whose tenuous religion is disintegrating as much as the power of its figurehead, the vain, selfish, Lord Valentine.
In this tribal anarchy with its extremes of violence and spiritual insight are the embers of the hassles and ripoffs of today's underground culture, and the joyful, sinister, apocalyptic words of its heroes.
Mick Farren has produced in his first novel the brilliant, macabre adventure of a paradise lost in a hellish eternity.
The Texts Of Festival may be seen as a bleak forecast of the end of the line for today's alternative society.
