Festivals rock...
My love for live music is only passed by my love of snowboarding but I have had the privilege to witness some truly awesome things at festivals which will stay with me forever. These include:

The girl I lost my virginity too’s exceptionally metal goth mates, the first time I had ever left Cornwall at 17 – Reading 1995

Blind Melon live before singer died – Reading 1995

Getting into Glasto free with no tent, didn’t rain once and they brought in heightened security the year after – Glastonbury 1999

A girl petting a sniffer dog as if it was a pet before she realised all her drugs and festival were gone – IOW 2008

Daphne and Celeste, the most ill advised gig ever – Reading 2003

Pissing on my girlfriend, getting punched in the face – Reading 2003

Pete Docherty turning up for a gig and being really shit – Get Loaded in the Park 2006

Rev Al Green waking my up one Sunday morning crooning at me – Glasto 1999

Newton Faulkner and Sponge Bob Square Pants - Rip Curl Boardmasters 2007

And the coup de gras Foo Fighters – Reading 1995 - I was pulled out from the pit. Awesome. Even Sir David of Grohl still talks about that gig today.

Loads more to mention, gigs are always awesome… even Vanilla Ice at the Cornwall Coliseum, my first ever live gig!

Shannon
Hoon indeed, I just remembered his name while having a pee! They were good, I would have tried to remember it more if I knew it'd be his last gig!

Reading 95
The Foo Fighters were epic. Still hands down the best set I've ever seen at a festival. They should have been on the main stage considering how many people were trying to cram into the tent, but I'm oh so glad they weren't...
