The Square Festival

I saw some banter in a lost thread where bubz asked for festival options.  Here's one in Wales.

It'll be a good one re: the dance tent (I don't really know if they have a tent) as Forward Strategy Group are playing their 1st live show (excellent modern minimal techno from Glasgow) tho' they're not currently advertised.

I'm sure other people will go for Supergrass.

65 days of static are brilliant live. I would rate them as the best band I've ever seen. They were unbelievably good (unless you saw them at the Hanley sugarmill when everything broke and they made a 2minute build up last 10minutes cos of a broken bass string...), but the other times I've seem them... Blooming marvelous. Combine that with supergrass and it should be a good festival.

That sounds amazing to me! They probably are the best live band around at the moment, saw them recently and they blew me away again!

Its at Borth - which is a pretty enough spot - though not sure how it will cope with so many incomers! (Borth is a one street town build on a storm beach). I lived in Aberystwyth for a good few years so know Borth and the area well. I suspect it'll be a friendly and fairly small affair...
Nice part of the world - bit of a pain in the are to get to - the nearest bouldering would be at Cae Du BTW.. about and hour away..
