Looks like a decent line up. A few that I've not heard of and a few I'd like to see as well. Might be worth a punt

I was pleasantly surprised to see LJE are still a going concern!

They've had a several-year hiatus but the idea of a reunion was mooted by GT at last year's NFFF in my hearing and this seems to have paid off.

The Hertfordshire based Steve Young UK band would fit right in at New FFF, and he knows Reg Meuross too.

See last 90 minutes of this gig from last night.

Audio a bit iffy to start with.

Nick Curtis is looking for some volunteers to Steward the festival. You get a 4 hour shift per day and in return have free tickets and camping next to the arena. Wendy and I have done this for years and find it really enjoyable.

If you're interested in helping out, go to This Link (https://www.newforestfolkfestival.co.uk/crew.html) where you'll find an application form.
