This weekend it is the <a title=\"Cornbury Music Festival\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cornburyfestival.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cornbury Music Festival<\/a>. Yippee!<\/p>\n<p>Somehow I&#8217;ve managed to wangle us (us in the name of our audio production, <a title=\"This Reality Podcast\" href=\"http:\/\/thisrealitypodcast.com\" target=\"_blank\">This Reality Podcast<\/a>) full press accreditation and a pair of go anywhere\/backstage passes for the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Forty-four bands appearing on 3 stages over 2 days.<\/p>\n<p>And we can mingle with them all!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve lobbed in a speculative request for a one-to-one interview with Jackson Browne. We&#8217;ll do other interviews on an <em>ad hoc<\/em> basis.<\/p>\n<p>And the public, of course; we shall be interviewing them too.<\/p>\n<p>Last year we camped at Cornbury. This year we&#8217;re going to try the &#8216;day visitor&#8217; experience.<\/p>\n<p>Camping at Cornbury was a piece of cake and a very pleasurable experience, but as we live so close, we&#8217;ve decided to come home to recharge our batteries &#8211; and the batteries of some of our electrical items.<\/p>\n<p>Not only am I looking forward to a weekend full of music, I&#8217;m also looking forward to meeting a bunch of interesting people and having the full-on &#8216;festival&#8217; experience.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re at a loose end on Saturday or Sunday, why don&#8217;t you come up to the village of Charlbury, Oxfordshire and get yourself a bunch of musical listening? Day tickets are an unbelievably affordable \u00c2\u00a355 each &#8211; and under 12s go free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Personal mobile phone fully charged? Check!
