I think they all showed up, though i cant be sure.
We arrived there at around half 12, and just kind of wandered around a bit before decided we were hungry and buying chips (which we then threw away). There were quite a few stalls as well, like a clothes bazzaar thing and a 'make your own eco bag' stall and LOADS of food and stuff and even a bar for over 18s.
The THREE main bands I wanted to see were: Sukie, Casiokid and Go:Audio, but they were on later so we headed on over tooooo make our own eco bags! whoooooo!
We both wanted something booshy to write on them, I decided on a (stupidly fangirlish but shut up, i had mental block) 'I <3 Barratt' and then Natalie spent AN hour deciding before settling on 'I <3 Vince Noir'. We basically had to cut outletter to make and transfer and then paint over it onto a bag (though I got two 'cause my transfer was really small) and it was free!
After that we pretty much wandered around a bit and stopped to watch a newly added band called 'The Retro Spankees', who were pretty good. though at one point they start laughing manically during their song which resulted in me and Nat pissing our selves with laughter, while the rest of the crowd nodded along straightfaced.They were good though.
We soon headed on over to the clothes tent which was full of many bright items of clothing and glowsticks and on a lil table...BOOSH DOLLS! We were walking to the end of the tent when a flash of red caught my eye, i turned to see the bright red trousers of a handmade hitcher doll! As well as a smaller doll of howard, complete with moustache. Vince was'nt there so we figured he had either been brought or not made :O. They were pretty cool though...and on a bigger table next to it boosh badges! We bought for each for our boosh bags...the were all of the 'I <3 _____' persuasion so i bought an 'I <3 howard Moon', an 'I <3 vince Noir', an I <3 boosh' and an 'I ,3 old gregg'.
After our boosh bazzar travels we went back to stage 2(stage one was a lot bigger, but overall i think i prefered stage 2) to watch Rachel Furner until Casiokid was on after. Rachael actually goes to our school in the year above so it was wierd to see her singing at the festival, she was pretty good though. So after Rachel, the loud announcer guy,'chuck',says that stage one was running half an hour late, meaning we couldnt see Go:Audio who were supposed to be on at 9.05 becasue we had to leave AND stage two was going to take an hours break so we could listen to stand-up in the comedy tent. This was'nt so bad as i'm a big stand-up fan so we went and sat RIGHT at the front in the middle. Bad choice. Crowds gathered behind with people standing at the back so we realised that we would'nt be able to leave if we wanted. The comedy was good though, the first guy who introduced the acts was called Simon fielding, which threw me and naat for a bit because some of his stand-up was similar to Noels. The nest guy was alright and came out making jokes about Scotland (he WAS scottish) and the third bought a guitar and sung mini song things. The last two were my favourites, this guy came our with curly hair...looking a little like a taller Jonah Hill, but without the accent, and swiftly took the piss out of half the people in the room, including some heavy metal dude nest to me. This went on for a bit and he did some inprov stuff before deciding to give the tough guy, and his friends, a lapdance. He then proceded over to us, quite obviously young and 15 in the older crowd before holding out a hand and turning back saying, 'yeah i'll stop before I get arrested...'. The LAST guy was the best in my opinion and did a lot on how he hated teenagers and encourages the crowd to agree, making us a BIT nervous .
We left the comedy tent feeling laughed up and refreashed before realiseing that on stage two was now the band due on AFTER casiokid which means they either didnt show up or we missed them while in the comedy tent! But we went and watched Sukie who were awesome (And threw out a free Tshirt which we didnt get 
) before heading on over to the kids park near the festival and sitting on the little toadstools (I MISS little kiddys parks...it was fun being seven...) till my dd arrived to pick us up.
The music was good quality as were the stalls so i reckon i'll go again next year to see whats changed and what new bands they can get.
