The sun’s out and thoughts turn to muddy fields, campfires and great music: festival season is here and Sam is off to play the wonderful outdoor stages at some of the lovliest festivals around.  First off the blocks is Cottingham Springboard Festival near Hull this weekend with Meltdown and Corsham Festival next month and more to follow.  Cottingham and Meltdown are even free shows!  What more could you ask!  See the gigs page for more details.
