Howling Bells

The Festival Season

With festival season here, Che and I have started our festival rounds. We chatted to the lovely 'Howling Bells' and 'The View' at 'Hop Farm Festival' where they provide an atmosphere without the cosmetics of branding and exalting VIP treatment.

About Hop Farm

Vince Power, the man behind The Hop Farm Festival, has staged the biggest and most celebrated music events on the planet for the past quarter of a century. The Mean Fiddler, Vince's club that started in 1982, grew into a £60m music empire overseeing the world's leading summer festivals (including Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, and Homelands etc), concert halls, clubs, restaurants and bars.

The Hop Farm Festival came about after a survey was taken and the feeling amongst fans buying festival tickets, was that they ended up feeling the lowest on the pecking order. So we felt it was time to go back to basics and let it be about the punter and the music.
