    Do any of your boys partake in the annual festivals which happen all over the place in the summer?
    I've never been to one and was wondering what they are like?

    I'm going to the Wickerman Festival this year. Never been to a festival before. I think it's the idea of having to sleep in a tent that puts me off.

    Never been to a festival and never will go. I like to see bands in smaller venues and not be there for two or three days on the trot listening to music that I don't like until the ones that do come on that I like.

    Chic, really? Loved that band and Nile Rodger's guitar style.

    Years ago used to go to Reading and Glastonbury, never paid to get in. Now there seem to be festivals everywhere.

    More recently have been going to Rebellion in Blackpool, us old punks like to stay in a hotel don't you know. The only one I'm contemplating going to this year is Blyth Power's "The Ashes" which is in the Fens near where I used to live and like omg The Astronauts are playing.

    Used to go to Donington when I was in my teens, been to Reading once. Not a fan of festivals, smaller gigs are much better.
