    Good Vibrations Society: Bye Bye Baby Fever Dream

    "While people come to this festival from all over, it somehow manages to retain an endearingly local feel. I felt at times – not least during Gentleman’s Dub Club’s habitually excellent set – as if I’d crashed a raucous private party. And who doesn’t enjoy doing that? "
