NEWS / Blissfields in the news
With the broadsheet's festival reviews coming out we are pleased to say
thet we have been featured in two great "best of 2008 lists",
in The Sunday Times and The Observer.
Sunday Times 06.04.08
BLISSFIELDS
July 4-6, Matterley Bowl, Winchester Voted Britain’s best small
festival in 2007, Blissfields has a new home in Winchester and a lineup
including Roni Size, the Whip and the reformed Wonderstuff. Best for the
acoustic tent and intimate atmosphere.

The Observer 06.04.08
BLISSFIELDS
Near Winchester, Hants
4-6 July
Like Glastonbury, Blissfields is held on a dairy farm, but there the
comparisons stop. Blissfields has grown from a party for 70 people in
2001 and now attracts around 5,000. The main action takes place on the
Punch Bowl, a natural amphitheatre. Organisers Paul and Mel Bliss are
determined the festival will concentrate on green issues and unsigned
bands, though there are some big name headliners like The Wonder Stuff,
Roni Size and The Whip. People can bring their own food and drink but
there will be food from local suppliers, including Farmer Gosdens ice
cream from a farm near Basingstoke and, eschewing sponsorship, the bar
is run by Paul from the local pub.

Roni Size and Reprazent and The Whip get the dance crowd going, and the reformed Wonder Stuff nad jazz saxophonist Soweto Kinch play, while the acoustic tent boasts port and crumpets.
