Oh how things have changed. The sun is out, Boris is in, and not even the classless institution of the Great British Music Festival is escaping the advances of modernity. Once rocking up to a field with a knapsack and some loose morals was all it took, but today's requisite pre-registration for mud-holes like Glastonbury is forcing us to look to pastures new and frankly smaller.

And who better than those posh folk with their grand homes to lend a hand?
Wielding a sub-royal title and an Oxfordshire estate, Lord and Lady Rotherwick are hosting the annual The Cornbury Music Festival for a more humble 3,000 revellers. The Secret Garden Party, meanwhile, boasts a Peter Foster-designed stage in the grounds of the 4th Baron de Ramsey. Reserve doesn't get more British than that.
Of course, if those are a still touch too far (or posh)
then how's about tomorrow's, at least royal-sounding,
Stag
& Dagger micro-festival? |
