Great bands and such a great location for a festival, close to bodrums and walking distance home

Ritual Union, Cowley Road Venues, Oxford - 19th October 2019
It was great. The programming was perfect, and as it is a small festival there was a warm and familiar atmosphere. The bands were amazing, they gave everything they had. It’s a pity there were no encores, though. My only real complaint is about the handling of the sound volume : at the beginning of the afternoon anyway, it was way to loud, so much so that it was hard to hear the singers’ voices (not in the Bullingdon, just in the O2 Academy). But overall, I would highly recommend it and you can rest assured that I will be there next year.
