Comments & Reviews:

Saturday was Dance Day and Sunday was Roots Day. The Freestylers played both days at pretty much the same time. I saw them Saturday and they were so good that I watched them again on Sunday. The drums being played live on ‘Warning’ was a sight to behold trust me. When the festival was over I noticed the headlights on my van were on but very dim. The battery was flat and I was parked in Hackney Marshes field. Had no trouble rounding up about 10 volunteers, all off their face, to push my van and bump start it. Thanks guys
