 03/07/2009 Man, it’s only just gone 12.
Why is it that we start the day enthusiastically – well, reasonably enthusiastically – and then find that our enthusiasm dwindles after just 2 hours?
Maybe we’re in the wrong job… although we worked in ASDA for 2 years and that was a right load of crap. Fried our brain more than anything we’ve ever taken.
Although that could have been a combination of the two.
Is it possible for ASDA to slap a law-suit on our arse for saying that it was a crap organisation to work for? Who knows; it’s too late now; the damage is done; f*ck ‘em.
If anything, a lawsuit from ASDA would add some much needed excitement to the day.
Anyways, we’d be here all day if we talked about ASDA, so over to our next news story.
Bloom Festival, which describes itself as ‘the ultimate house party in a field’, returns from 14th – 16th August and the organisers have just revealed its brand new location:
Chepstow Racecourse!
Festival organiser Olivia Chapman commented: “This really has been a blessing in disguise. We’ve discovered that actually, Chepstow couldn’t be more perfect for Bloom 2009, it’s been a complete silver lining.
“Bloom is our heart and soul –it’s all about the people and we always strive to make it a superb, quality experience. The new location is faultless and we’re now even more excited about August’s festival!”
The site couldn’t be more perfect. It’s a stone’s throw from the Severn Bridge and Chepstow National Rail, meaning Bloom is far more easily accessible than previous years.
Bloom also promises ‘an abundance of unique, special features waiting for Bloomers to discover’, although the festival organisers are keeping these tightly under wraps. The rascals.
Once again, the line-up will span electro, house, folk, indie, funk, drum 'n' bass, hip hop, pop and everything in between, with acts including Finlay Quaye, Johnny Flynn, James Yuill, Noah and the Whale, Chase & Status, Nathan Fake and Ralph Lawson announced so far.
Furthermore, Bloom will source contractors and traders from the region, in a bid to boost the local economy.
And, as part of the new Visit Britain campaign, the festival will also work closely in conjunction with local tourist boards to actively promote the area and boost tourism.
Now entering its fourth year, Bloom is growing from strength to strength, increasing ticket allocation from 1,500 to 6,000 and transforming two tents to a massive six stages.
