Beanus has his work cut out, as he travels all the way to Holland (for the culture and the music, you understand?) to visit the Lowlands Festival.

Its festival time. Glastonbury, V and Reading are the hottest festivals on our lips at the moment. The bands, the music, the weather and let us not forget the mud!!! Its summer time people, get out the ever present, always reliable camping tent, dust down the camping equipment, assign yourself a map of the camp site, a list of all the bands playing, and polish and shine those wellies until they gleam :-)
