Stones Corner Festival Focus: Halfway

Answered by: John Willsteed, guitarist

Stones Corner Festival is billed as a Celebration of Craft Beer, Cider, Wine & Live Music - so are you a beer, cider or wine person? I am, like the omnipresent, all three in one. An unholy trinity. And I am a firm believer in the idea that if making booze is a craft, then so is drinking it.

There are over 15 food trucks planned at the festival — what's for lunch? I will be sampling. Strolling the midway, eyeballin' the freaks, sniffin' the air. I intend to test my endurance. I will be wearing loose, loose clothing, in a neutral colour.

What do you think about festivals like this where the food and drink component is just as important as the music? They are, without doubt, the best. Best for me, best for us, best for you, best for everyone. A full belly, half-shickered, and some fine tunes? What could be better? Dancin' the duck away.

Do you tend to hang around at festivals and check out what else is on offer, or do you just do your set and that's it? I love to linger. There's something about both the anticipation and the afterglow... the senses run riot.

Will you have a go on the jumping castle or in the petting zoo? I will pash a goat if paid in cheese. After that, I will eat as much churros as I can afford and hit the castle. Wish me luck!
