R e v i e w : Lounge on the farm
J ust one week on from the Zoo Thousand festival, Kent was treated to another weekend of live music on a grand scale. Unlike Zoo8 though, Lounge on the Farm (lotf) 2008 was a complete success and ran with no obvious problems. As
soon as we arrived on the compact farm site, the stewards greeted us with happy
smiles and were pleased to offer their assistance if needed, perhaps aided by the
warm sun that was shining down.
On site, the sense of scale with which the festival operates becomes apparent,
with the whole event taking not more than 15 minutes to walk around! This in no
way put a downer on the weekend but rather added to the general ethos in the air; a
feeling of enthusiasm to catch the plethora of artists performing live in Kent.
Besides, it certainly made cutting between your favourite artists playing on different
stages a lot easier!
The event was well managed too, with plenty of facilities available including
hammocks to relax in, swingball posts to play with and bales of hay to rest weary
legs, all of which offered free of charge. It was also positive to see recycling bins in
place around the field, an idea pioneered by Glastonbury festival in previous years
and one that has worked very
well to reduce the impact caused
by such events.
