Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

Showers would have been good. Cleanliness of loos was fantastic, always the biggest worry. Very friendly warm fun festival.

Lineup wasn't as good as previous years........charging for parking a bit cheeky too. Great venue though

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

Thank you for a cracking weekend of sun, beers and fun! We had a brilliant time, came home with so much doom because we wanted it to last forever...

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

Small friendly festival in a good setting... Listening to the organisers hype though and you would expect much more...it is what it is, good mix of music, limited food options and good but pricey beer.

Fantastic Festival

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

I attended 2015 Brew so there were many positives to the changes they made for 2016, but also some negatives too. I've listed my top 5 of each:
What went well - Moving the date was by far the best decision - sun beats snow any day of the week. Moving the main stage - it seemed like less of a chore to see the great bands playing there. Opening out the former VIP bar to everyone - who doesn't like one more bar?? Open air movie - this was a weather dependant gamble but worked well and helped to chill people out who possible weren't ready for bed. The LaFontaines - they absolutely smashed it!
What didn't go so well - Reducing the size of the Northern Roots Stage - there wasn't enough room for all the jumping and dancing and became quite dangerous at times. Not enough food choices - there's only so many burrito's and pizza's you can eat in one weekend. Skiddle Rep - I signed up and was promised drinks tokens if I signed my friends up (which I did) but no one every contacted me to get my commission - very dissappointed. Where was the comedy bus?? - There were posts about it on facebook and even they seem to have disappeared. Little/No information - I didn't know who was playing where and when and no programme/map was available to buy on the day. And when I tried to find a member of staff to ask - no one seemed to know what was going on. A better information point next time please.

All in all, a great event that I would definitely recommend. Just a few tweeks needed - definitely around the Information available on the day.

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

Absolutely brilliant. had a fantastic time, well run festival and v friendly atmosphere. Have been to Brew at the Bog before and will definitely be back. Much better with the 2 nights now instead of 1 day. Brilliant acts, particularly LaFontaines. Well done to Yvonne Murray the organiser, fantastic job Yvonne!

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

An excellent wee festival! A great vibe and saw absolutely no trouble all weekend.

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

Great bands. Only negative was the sound leakage from the barn stage to roots stage. Some of the acoustic bands struggled. Otherwise a great weekend.

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

Great wee festival. Disappointed to herar a couple of tents close to us had money stolen from them whilst they slept. Wondering if there was any security around the campsite. I wish folk would pick up their rubbish before they leave. There is no excuse. They were given a bin bag. But no different from any other festival. There's always some that don't see it as their responsibiliy.

Good weekend

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

Great festival over all. Bands on the Saturday a lot better than the Friday. Drinks prices were a tad extreme. no burger van was a big let down. However would recommend!

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

Best one yet. The festival moved itself up a month from May to June, and it was rewarded with warmer weather and a sun shining day on the Saturday.
So many great bands played at the weekend over the 2 days and it's one of the friendliest and fun festivals you will find in Scoland.
Great music, great drink, great people equal great times.

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

This was our fourth Brew at the Bog. We loved it! Fantastic music and a fantastic atmosphere. Everyone was really friendly and it was a really enjoyable festival. Something for everyone. The only negatives we had were that there really aren't many areas for people to sit so a bit more seating, picnic benches would be great. We also missed The Codfather this year! No chips, which was exactly what we were looking for later on each night! Other than that ..... brilliant! We are so lucky to have such a top notch festival right on our doorstep :) 10 out of 10

Review of NIP Scotland 2016

Excellent event and hope to come back next year. My only criticism is that there wasn't enough food for everyone. We got a portion of stovies but I know from other people that they ran out early. At an event with so much drinking going on over along period it would have better to have something else as well, say baked tatties or something similar. The £5 a portion being charged was a bit steep though.
