Hey everyone, Gary here, thanks for the comments!

@Jay: Glad you had a good time too despite the weather! Other people also told me that it wasn’t quite as rainy the last two years.

@Plamen: Nice to hear from you, you guys were fun :). Nice pictures, especially the ones of the beach, proves that it was sunny some of the time!

@Kevin: Glad you liked the article! Aye I’m very grateful for the French people and their massive tent keeping us dry.

Are music festivals better value and more fun in mainland Europe than in the UK? — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:52:00 +0000

[...] Welcome! Click here and subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Many Brits combine a vacation with going to a music festival on mainland Europe. In theory the weather should be better and kinder to campers, also the gig tickets are often cheaper in mainland Europe than in the UK, so the overall cost can be the same as attedance at a gig on home shores.

Hi Plamen – it’s Karen, Gary’s Mum and editor of the blog. Gary is away to another concert near Derby this weekend and weather forecast not great either.

Gary’s boots haven’t recovered from the Mud or Swamp Camp. Hopefuly your bike has dried out now.

Thanks for the link to your photos

Lol….hi Gary…greetings from your metalcamp neighbors – the Bulgarians ;-)
Really – if only the weather was better it will be greatest fest…
This year Metalcamp was Mudcamp ;-)
All people had to pack their stuff in the rain…
Everything was wet…and I literally bring one gallon Slovenian rain water to Bulgaria, because I was there by motorcycle and had no chance for drying.

Cheerz!

Jay – thanks for your comment, which I’ve forwarded to our son Gary. Yes the weather was really the main negative thing about Gary’s trip to Meal Camp. However if it’d had been blazing sunshine they would have probably been quite a outbreak of sunburn!

Hi Gary!
Like you, I’m a Metalcamp’s surviver and I must admit that i really agree with you and it’s true that the atmosphere here is really wonderful, despite the ugly one that you usually find at normal metal concert here in Slovenia.
this year we were really unlucky with the weather but when you are correctly organized it becomes almost acceptable :P

Glad to see that I’m not the only one disappointed by Nightwish,it was probably the lamest show I’ve ever seen.

That’s all,just wanted to share also my thoughts with a metalhead.
greeting from Slovenia (seems that few days after MC the sun was violently shining in Tolmin…sigh :P)
