The
Lizard Eclipse Festival 1999

we had heard that Cornwall was beautiful but we arrived in the dark and set
up behind tall steel walls. Security was right over the top and we were nearly
involved a riot after some children had taken bolts out of the fence. Very
few punters turned up and it was obvious early on that the festival was
going to be a financial disaster. There were some good moments and we got to see
the eclipse through a brief gap in the clouds. We returned to Wales broke without
being paid.
