I would have went to see a band with this name alone. Where does it take place? Why is it sold out so quick?

Steventon, slightly south of Oxford. Each yeah it just gets more and more popular, but the ethos has remained unchanged - It's all for charitee, the local vicar sells sweets and ice cream to fund repairs to the church and the local rotary club cook you your burgers. It all takes place on the farm where the Truck Records studio is, one of the festival stages is even in the cow-shed.

As for why it sells out to quickly, I think it's just got a good reputation for supporting local bands, a great wee atmosphere that's not the dwarfing size of the other summer players and the line-ups are always a fun thing full of suprises. This year I imagine the lack of a Glastonbury has ensured it sold out waaaay before any hint of a line-up was announced.

Been a couple of years now, this will be the third visit - Pretty handy as it's the weekend before the Cambridge Folk Festival.
