A slightly shortened version of my Swn Festival review went into the Daily Post last Friday. If you picked it up and read it, thanks.. I had been intending to put a full version up here, but it has taken so long to do it's kind of missed the boat. By now, many other people/blogs/etc have run through why the weekend was so great in much finer style than I ever could.
I recommend the reflection over at thelineofbestfit.com. Simon Tyers, in particular, is a wonderful writer. He runs the amazing sweepingthenation.blogspot.co.uk.
My review is also now so long that unleashing the opus upon the public would be of benefit to nobody.
But, the feelings can be pretty much summed up in the excessive display of sentiment (which appeared in the review) below:
"I was asked – at a point now shrouded in the mists of Swn – how the Cardiff festival compared to previous years. It was a very difficult question.
For something that is for many the genuine, 100% bona fide highlight of the year, past experiences almost melt into one. One succinct lump of all the noise and musical brilliance that makes the event. All previous years, to me at least, can only be defined collectively as ‘Swn’. In a word, brilliant."
It also did this to my sister:
