First up lets hear it for the fact that posibbly one of the best festivals of the summer is in fact a voluntarily run festival....I think only the security and the guys doing the clean up get paid. So no, not even the organisers earn a crust out of it. I'll tell ya theres a few large promoters in this country who could definately do with taking a leaf out of their book.
You sometimes get a bit disheartened working at big festivals, especially when the weather's not on your side, your tent is blowing away, the electricity keeps cutting out and someone has just tried to steal your sign and you kinda wonder....why are we doing this again? Knockanstockan reminded us why we love what we do. Small crowd of genuine people, beautiful setting, real heart and effort gone into the production and great music. Definate highlight was the north strand kontra band and captain magic jammin at 4am in the production barn. Definate lowlight was being denied a swim in the lake on saturday, but hey, its kind of understandable. Safety first.
We were really gaggin for that swim though.
