year (everyone I met thought I was crazy), and though I somehow lost all

Comment: Great festival really enjoyed it again this year. A great
atmosphere and great bands. Really enjoyed the Pine Leaf Boys again and
the Rockeridge Brothers too. Saw a band called the Huckleberrys in
England the week before who would probably go down well.

Comment: Once again we had a fantastic time. Just love everything
about this festival (and Chilli Fest). Didn't get to see all I wanted to,
but enjoyed Pete Molanari, Trampled by Turtles, The Samsonites, Four Men
and a Dog to name a few. Thanks to Kieran & Alison again.

Comment: Kieran, we had an excellent time at the fest. We also were
lucky enough and caught the Lee Hedley Band in the Kitchen Bar after
leaving the marquee and havent enjoyed a live rock blues band as much in
twenty years! Those guys will def go places, and they are local too!!!!!
Roll on next year. Cheers.

Comment: The sooner someone comes up with a method of being in two
places at one time the happier I will be during the OHF weekend. Ever year
I'm faced with this dilemma! To illustrate...on Friday night I want to go
see The Wilders/Prison Love...but...I can't miss Pine Leaf Boys - also on
Friday night. Yet again an amazing line up, big "thank you" to the
organisers.
