The 5th West Coast Blues n Roots Festival has been and gone.
A lot of good music, good vibes and sunshine, and a lack of rubbish thanks to all the green initiatives! Unfortunately some issues again with sound like at Southbound and certain ticket holders having trouble getting in, but all in all I think it’s one of the more well organised and relaxed festivals of the summer.

Good Vibrations 2008 was held on Sunday, and the vibes were mostly good!
Heirisson Island was used as a venue for the first time, but I’m not sure it was such a good idea. It was dust bowl, and there were long walks to get in and out. It is a nice central location though, and I thought the organisation of things like toilets, food and layout was ok, considering it’s a big festival.
