Well as we head towards spring and the silly season is almost upon us here are just a few of the festivals we have selected for you.
Coming up our festival reviews.
Our review this week features Sunrise Celebration 2014.
Sunrise 2014
Sunrise was our first festival of 2014 the shows first review.
When we arrived late Thursday night Friday morning we had to wait until morning to get on site which was okay as parking was well sorted. After a short-time in the queue that was it were on our way. We came upon a beautiful site right next to the a racecourse. But the views where wicked and the fields lush. Off to a good start. After finding a space for the camper we settled into our weekend.
The atmosphere was very relaxed old school hippy style there were many families and children around. The vibe was tangible in we were all here to have a good time. The set up of the stalls and food led you into the arena were you could enjoy different styles of music, Really enjoyed the chill out area next to the psytrance trance stage. But I must admit I came for the music so off I went the dance to some of my favourite artists.Which we have recorded for some great future shows. The old school feeling of this festival made me that I was at one of my first hippy festival. There was loads to entertain over the weekend great stalls and goods on sale with some fantastic people. The food was lovely and well priced. I like the fact that you could really have a wander away from the bustle and find some peaceful spots to totally relax into. The scenery was an added bonus you did feel in a different realm. The tunes in the waveform stage were awesome really enjoyed recording some great sets from the artists. Sunrise certainly has the old school feel about it. If you like to enjoy all aspect's of a festival food, drink,dance, art,crafts but most of all the people who come to this wonderful festival are so colourful friendly up for a wicked weekend of loveliness .Its a very family friendly festival. It certainly benefits from its non commercial approach. Lots of interesting things to enjoy.My highlight was the waveform stage with some top artists playing the dance floor was packed. We hope to have some shows over the coming weeks with some of the highlights from Sunrise :)

The OTG Crew and extended family are happy to announce Something Different The Spring Awakening in association with EDEN 18th-19th April 2015.
This event will celebrate the return of life and light that the spring months offer us, a return to the countryside and openness that we all love so much. The winter months will soon be over and it is time for us to gather in numbers again to show our respect to the universe and our gratitude for what it gives us.
We hope you will join us and help us bless the 2015 festival season with good vibes, shake off the winter aches and prepare for the dance floor pilgrimages of the summer.
