This weekend (early May BH) i took my 16 year old son and a group of his friends to the Stortford Music Festival at Bishop's Stortford. In a school sports field they had three music tages/tents, an arts marquee, food stalls, a beer tent and many concessions stands.

Over each day there were at least 30 performers ranging from folk to rock and there seemed to be something to cater for almost every taste.

We had a fantastic time and were really impressed that such a small town could run such a successful and entertaining 2 day event - it just begs the question why isn't there something similar in St. Albans?

Maybe this is well beyond SAYC and Summer Sounds, but i think it is high time that St.Albans had an event like this to showcase local bands and help nurture local talent.

Ok, this might sound like a bit of a moan but i am prepared to 'put my money where my mouth is' .... if anyone out there has experience in running this sort of event then lets get together and make something happen.

Reply if you think there should be a Verulam Music Festival in 2010
