The Great Escape

What a great idea to create a festival where you pay £20 and then can't get to see the bands you want to see unless you feel like queuing for four hours.
We meet Paul Marshall for a beverage before before he plays to a handful of people in the middle of nowhere.
At least we get some rock action in the form of Sunset Rubdown and Okkervil River before standing in a queue of about 700 people trying to get to see Yeasayer who are probably playing in someone's basement. Good planning that.
However there is hope as we get into Komedia to see the hideously good Elizabeth Walling and Jacob's Stories whilst getting far too drunk for far too much money. Ah well.
