Wonderfully warm and inclusive festival
A welcome return to the Abbey. An interesting and knockout showcase of acts, showing supreme talent and diversity. The sound was on top form, food and drink vendors were ace and security and loos all well run. I love this festival, I come back time and time again.

Lovely venue, great music selection, friendly atmosphere
Another great Down at the abbey. The small site enclosed within the Abbey Walls means no trekking and queues for toilets drinks - are really short or non-existent. Artist selection is niche but carefully picked - all of it good but both nights featured electric performances from 2-3 bands that would be hard to imagine in an inside venue

Eclectic mix in historic setting
Convenient for station with good layout. Real mix of bands. Organisation was good, sound was good and I now have a list of new favourite bands to follow up on. Been 3 times and no reason not to be back next year.

Really interesting line up
Very well organised. The "no clash" policy is good.
