Another great day

There's always a great focus on local and 'next big thing' acts. All the gigs are in intimate venues so you are up close and personal. This makes the gig feel like you are at the beginning of the band's road to success and greatness. The fact that some bands are already on that path (great set of bookings, every year) makes it feel extra thrilling.
