Couple of years back and it’s honestly better now they charge.
It’s been a few since I went, sure I didn’t pay
Better as in quality of bands or experience or both?
IncredibleGeneral Levy is worth £12 of anyone’s money to be fair.
I know, but it was a bit cheeky. You usually have the lineup and then can decide whether to go all three days, or be selective, but the early bird price finished and all the acts weren't announced at the time. It was just bits and pieces and I believe Supergrass announced on the very last day of the early bird price.Started after the Example masses who turned up, didn’t expect it, all about controlling numbers and managing properly, early bird tickets were £12.50 for the weekend, pretty good value.
Unfortunately, it was scaled right back this year, which is a shame, but at the same time, understandable, due to the pandemic and the late decision for it to be able to go ahead.only been to one godiva in my life back in the mid 2000’s not sure exactly what year, went as a toddler with my mum and dad, how much has it changed?
Only£8 a pint I hear.Unfortunately, it was scaled right back this year, which is a shame, but at the same time, understandable, due to the pandemic and the late decision for it to be able to go ahead.
What has been sorely missed is the absence of stalls selling t-shirts and jewellery and brackets etc. Always there every festival, but this year, not one single stall to be found. No-one selling any goods at all, anywhere. It was just stages and food outlets, which was a shame.
Thought Selecter were very good yesterday, as was Zuzu. Thought she was excellent.
Back there today to go and see The Fun Lovin Criminals.
Have enjoyed it, but it has been scaled back quite a bit. No signs up to say which bands are playing which stage and when, no programmes and like I say, no shops or stalls to be found.
I do miss the brackets. Got some decent hinges thoughUnfortunately, it was scaled right back this year, which is a shame, but at the same time, understandable, due to the pandemic and the late decision for it to be able to go ahead.

Is General Levy the cost of getting in or the name of a band ?General Levy is worth £12 of anyone’s money to be fair.
It's the new Brexit tax.Is General Levy the cost of getting in or the name of a band ?
£5.80 for a pint of Stella. About par for the course for a captive audience I'd say (see the CBS Arena).Only£8 a pint I hear.
I didn't even know Sunk Cost Fallacy were playing. What stage were they on and when?£12 well spent for my weekend ticket. I didn't even make it up there.
Sunk cost fallacy doesn't have an effect on me.
I was a bit disappointed with Candid. Just thought they were okay.Highlights, in no particular order.

Missing Candid and David Rodigan (both my own fault).
As Otis mentioned, no tat stalls, I love a tat stall at a festival.
Hope it goes back to early July next year though. Don't like it being during the football season (mitigated this year by the international break).
