    Working at Life festival this month, Body & Soul festival, playing gigs at the Galway/Stirling Sessions festival in Scotland and working at Electric Picnic too. I might do Liss Ard in County Cork and I'm seriously considering doing the Fleadh Cheoil in Derry too this year and the Willie Clancy week in Miltown Malbay in Clare if I can fit them all in

    How were The XX?

    very enjoyable.

    just got annoyed by people talking and pricking about with camera phones .especially noticeable during quiet songs..............which was all the time.

    Quite a lot of the festivals have their own websites, some of them will have tabs on them for volunteering, just fill in the online application forms, it will do no harm. Its a fun way to earn your festival ticket plus you get an insight in to the workings of a festival.
