  • Hydro Festival - The security organisation left a lot to be desired. We had our bluey confiscated going in to the campsite so we couldnt cook only for them to change their minds 2 hours later but bluey not returned to us. We were allowed to take chairs in to the event but then told we couldnt sit in chairs in the arenas told to leave take them back to our tents or we would be evicted - again they changed their minds after surrounding a lady who refused and intimidated her for an hour.

  • We are going again next year. If Glastonbury does not beat us we are not going to let a little rain dampen our spirits. Our secret? We are going to stay in a luxury guest house in the centre of Inverary. I know we are awful xxxxxxxxx
