Greenbelt 2008: Rising Sun
This year was my first “real” Greenbelt experience although I did go in 2006, I was primarily there as part of a Videoschool course (see the post about it here) and only saw two bands perform (Note for a Child, and Numinous).
Before going I was quite excited at the prospect of ‘discovering’ some new music, because my music collection was getting quite limited and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. The drive down to Cheltenham Racecourse along the A5 was quite scenic and uneventful and we arrived after just over 4 hours on Friday. After getting our tickets and driving to the youth campsite (which we didn’t actually realise - no wonder it was so noisy!) we (mainly me!) managed to set up the tent quite quickly thanks to the soft ground (which got even softer after the rain!).
