Checked the site daily looking out for the releasedate of the new album and now there finally IS a date to look forward to. Congrats on the new album in advance - it sure will be as great as or even greaater than all those ones before. Can't wait to listen and I'll now be counting down the days till September 17th...

Love, Donate

Just wanted to say thank you for Party on the Lawn. I really, really, really had a great time. Loved the wide variety of music. I added a short video clip to my blog just to capture a flavour of some of the music.

Hoping to get to the Maidenhead concert in the Autumn.

Thanks again!

Hi, sorry to be so late saying my piece about POTL, but must take issue with "J" (why no name?), I had my best one ever, and thought Jil's food was great in terms of taste and value.As to the line-up, what's not to love about Joe & gang, and the blues man was FAB. Many many thanks for another great gig, and all the hard work from all of the team, looking forward to seeing Chris and Kelly at Ely, and the two of you whenever & where ever we can,

much love to you all out there,

Well I am not sure if J was at the same POTL that I was at.

I loved the acts and thought that the Monkey tree food was not only delicious but good value for money (have you see the prices that are charged at other festivals?) I cannot comment on the organic Pig Van as I did not use them.

The whole day was really good and in my opinion well organised and good value for money too!

As for barbequing – I personally would never dream of doing such a thing on a campsite with other campers about – in such a dry period I would feel very uneasy about causing a fire, having witnessed a tent fire at Cambridge Festival I would not be happy to put other people property at peril and they are not always the most pleasant thing to inflict on anyone else.

I do understand constructive criticism but when someone has a list that goes to five points …… I just wonder …..

Thank you to the organisers and to the acts

Just had to stick my oar in too. Yes POTL was another success as far as all in our group was concerned. Music great as usual, we did miss a bit of Julie or Chris or both earlier in the day because other sets were scheduled, but hey, we got you at night - thanks!!

Food was not an issue for us, we self catered for most of the weekend so can't really comment, did appreciate the soup on Saturday evening though 'cos it was getting a bit nippy. As for cost - go to other festivals and compare.

Many people expect to be able to barbecue, perhaps some guidelines could be issued for future Parties on the Lawn? I'm sure the Fire service would be happy to oblige - as I'm equally sure they had been consulted before the event started.

Lets face it J, if you feel you've had a negative experience, put it down to just that and try something else in future. We've got a list of at least 8 other people who'd like to come with us next year, perhaps we could use the tickets you would have bought if you'd planned on going again?

All best wishes to everyone and thanks for another chance to 'get away from it all' and relax for a while.

Just to say there were 18 of us at POTL, from WFC, who had never been before.

We had a brilliant time and thoroughly enjoyed the music. The food on site , from both stalls was excellent value & very tasty. The setting was unbeatable & everyone very friendly. Well done girls & all the team. xx

Very well said Jules.

Everyone works really hard to make the day a sucess. I for one had another fantastic time & enjoyed every act.

Cheers Mandy for the feed back on Monkey Tree, I think we were more than reasonable too & very good food all round.

Thanks to Jo, Rob, Chris & Julie for another fantastic day & please note most of us appreciate how much work is involved in the set up.

I agree with all of your responses to J. I don't think some people appreciate the hard work and planning of such an event.All of the sets were fantastic and although we all missed you during the day it was well worth the wait,you absolutely rocked!!! As for saying the on site caterers were overpriced! I had a delicious meal from Monkey Tree for a fiver which I thought was excellent value. I thought the event was extremely well organised and managed and look forward to many more,hopefully. Thank you girls xx

We’d like to take this opportunity to reply to J’s comments about this year's Party on the Lawn.

We always appreciate and to try to take on board all feedback after the event and while the majority this time around has been favourable, we do need to address any negative ones.

First of all, while we have in previous years made appearances in other combos throughout the day, the duo have never finished the night, we’ve always finished with either the ‘Big Band’ or ‘Blue Tapestry’. We do accept however that not making any appearances prior to the last slot was a disappointment to a lot of people and we have resolved to address this next time around. This said, I for one loved all the acts on the bill this year and thought it was a world class line-up.

With regard to me not taking my equal share alongside Chris at the forefront of the band, I can assure you the set was very carefully balanced and I for one had a ball.

With reference to the criticism revolving around the barbequing ban on the campsite; first of all, we had to make some kind of a reaction as one person threatened to sue, however, the message to ban open fires and use barbeques with caution was misinterpreted by our stage manager who announced an overall ban on both open fires and barbeques. This was a genuine mistake. I would however like to say that remarks about the on site caterers being overpriced is a matter of opinion, all Helen Browning’s food is locally produced and organic and Monkey Tree were selling pasta meals in homemade sauces which included salad, breads, olives and sides for £5, I don’t think its fair to accuse them of being overpriced.

Jo, Rob, Chris & I work hard and take every care possible to produce a unique and what we always hope will feel like a friendly yet professional festival. All valid points will be noted and acted upon by us all.

Thanks to everyone for their continued support and feedback

Julie Matthews
