![]() Organist Offline Points:22 Posts: 1 | Friday night Linton Festival review Overall rating: ![]() I went to the Friday night event. Despite the weather, which fortunately cleared up just in time, everything about it was great. The bands were well chosen to be on the same bill; for my personal preference I would put the Ian Seigal Band third, the young Dutch lads a good second, and The Hoax......well, I forget how many thimes I've seen them but they never disappoint. A belter from them, as always. The food stalls and beers were truly excellent, plus good, plentiful toilets. If the lineup next year is as good I shall return. £60 for a complete 3-day weekend these days cannot be anything other than top value. Well done to everyone concerned, and thanks once again! | ||||||||||||||

![]() infotractor-p anelscouk Offline Points:18 Posts: 1 | Sunday, Linton Festival Overall rating: ![]() To be honest we only went to see Peter Green and Mike Sanchez. Peter Green brought tears to my eyes, it was so lovely to see the flashes of his old genius and it was truly glorious when he did Albatross etc. The guys he has playing with him were perfect for the gig. I'm glad I saw him and I'll remember it for a very long time. Sanchez was as brilliant as ever and the Seatsniffers were awsome too! So a pretty damned good day all round..........thank you Linton and we'll see you next year. | ||||||||||||||

wxblues Offline Points:58 Posts: 3 | Linton 2010 Overall rating: ![]() Went for the whole weekend as a first timer. Have a feeling this will become an annual event for us. Great venue (shame about losing the close field for camping)and facilities. Very friendly atmosphere with good vibes everywhere. The music throughout was such a high standard but of particular note go to Ten Years After; Eugene Hideaway Bridges; Ian Siegal; The Hoax; Peter Green and Mike Sanchez with the Seatsniffers. As regards wet straw bales just turn them over, bril. | ||||||||||||||

Very much enjoyed two new bands Northsyde and Big Blind. As regards wet straw bales just turn them over to dry side, bril. | ||||||||||||||

![]() colliedog Offline Points:22 Posts: 2 | LINTON Overall rating: ![]() Went for the first time and would go again next year. I thought it was a fantastic weekend. Biggest, well only real gripe was the Indian catering van. I thought the prices were too high. Where as the Whole Hog ware priced just right. High music notes Big Blind, TYA, EHB. Low music note Ian Segal, I got bored! Camping high points, the breakfast in the camping field Delicious. The bloke folding up his pop up tent and finally the bloke who thought someone had stolen his car and tent. he found them, where he left them I think he had consumed a beer or two. Roll on next year. AND WELL DONE TO ALL INVOLVED WITH THE LINTON FESTIVAL | ||||||||||||||

![]() richardab Offline Points:18 Posts: 1 | saturday only Overall rating: ![]() Excellent venue and music, a perfect size event - great atmosphere and very friendly. Very good sound. Could do better labelling parking and camping -we parked and walked to the camp site - only to find we could park in the camping field. first time, but would consider coming again. | ||||||||||||||

![]() msaffrey Offline Points:18 Posts: 1 | Linton Festival Weekend Overall rating: ![]() This was my first time at linton festival so I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. What I found was a very well run, very friendly small festival with excellent bands and excellent beer to match. For me the band highlights were Ian Siegal Band, The Hoax, Nico Backton, Eugene Hideaway Bridges, The Stumble, Peter Green, and The Seatsniffers Feat. Mike Sanchez. One band low point for me was Ten Years After who I thought were so arrogant and self absorbed that it just killed the mood (did anyone else nearly drop off in the middle of that drum solo?). The venue itself was well laid out and I thought the use of hay bales as seating was very clever. It was nice to have the choice to either chill out or get up and dance depending on our mood. The food was reasonably priced and I enjoyed an excellent selection of real ales over the weekend. The camping facilities were good and it was nice that you could buy breakfast at the camp site if you wanted it. Two minor issues that I think could be addressed for next time. The direction signs for camping and parking were abit confusing and not completely clear. Also it needed to be made clearer that cars were allowed in the campsite if you were camping. We parked in one of the other car parks and walked to the campsite only to be told that we hadn't needed to! However these are small issues as compared to how good the festival was, a big thank you to all who organised and ran it. Roll on Linton 2011 I will definitely be coming back! | ||||||||||||||

![]() gdjp Offline Points:58 Posts: 1 | Linton Overall rating: ![]() Back for second year. Still the best value festival around. If it was profit making it would either be £50 a day or the support would be rubbish. As it is seeing the likes of Peter Green, Ruby Turner, TYA and the all the rest for £50 a weekend is awesome. Looking forward to next year already. :-) | ||||||||||||||

![]() bluesman Offline Points:38 Posts: 1 | Linton Festival 2010 Overall rating: ![]() second time for us and this year was all we come to expect from the festival organisers. the beers were excellent (a few more ciders/perry's would be nice) the hog roast and cake stalls were excellent the indian stall could have been cheaper. all the bands were fantastic. on a critical note the toilets were closed early on monday morning which is not what a punter wants after a weekend drinking!! will "defo" back again next year.... | ||||||||||||||

AlbertRoss Offline Points:34 Posts: 1 | Sunday Overall rating: ![]() What a fantastic way to spend Father's day! I just had to see Peter Green. What a legend and inspiration. I know he's not the man he once was but it was still wonderful to see him and he deserves the maximum of respect from all blues fans. Very impressed with Northsyde's blend of blues, soul and funk with some awesome guitar playing. Mike Sanchez and the Seatsniffers were amazing - so much energy on such a warm day! Ruby Turner and her band were awesome to. Very enjoyable selection of ales went down very well. Food was good too. Excellent facilities. A great festival indeed! I'll be back next year. | ||||||||||||||

![]() kevthebullet Offline Points:10 Posts: 1 | Amazing Linton Festival!!!!! Overall rating: ![]() First, it must be said a BIG THANK YOU to all the organizers and staff whom made the weekend a total success! The Music was brilliant I especially enjoyed Ian Siegal, The Hoax, Big Blind, Hokie Hoint, Nico Pacton etc. TYA, Peter Green and Friends, (Albatros brought a tear to my eyes thanks for that!) A Massive thank you to Mike Sanchez whose solo set (because of Water Melon Slims problem getting into Britain) was absolutely fantastic then with the Seat-Sniffers just kept on delivering....Superb! Did anyone else think their Drummer was a bit of a comic.....Brilliant Drummer aswell! Rory Ellis, Northsyde, Eugene, The Stumble Superb as was Ruby Turner although not really my cup of tea, what a voice though! I loved the Hog Roast, Burgers Etc. and the REAL ALES wonderful thanks! Didn't have anything other than a cup of tea from the Indian cuisine because I thought they were too pricey for the portion, smelt awesome though! Great idea having Breakfast on tap so to speak at the Camp-site.....THANKS! | ||||||||||||||

pity about the rain but that can't be helped!! though a covering over the hay bales would have made them an option when the rain stopped!
