Sunday dawned grey with rain threatening but another early start was called for with so much to get through, including as it turns out a surprising amount of cake (but that’s another story)!

To be honest I spent the morning and early afternoon just strolling around the site with no particular plan to see anything, just moving from stage to stage to tent, stopping for tea and cake and then repeating the above.

I honestly cannot remember the name of every band I saw or act I watched but I do remember that the quality was high wherever you went.

The bookers must spend a whole year sifting through applications and listening to tapes (or is it spotify links these days) and to their credit they have got the balance between genres just about right so well done to them.

As with any big festival you need a certain amount of energy to constantly move between stages that can be a fair distance part so every time my wife wandered off or went to meet friends it was cake time.

Fortunately there were plenty of food stalls to choose from with it all being pretty reasonable as far as festival prices go. There were also a good amount of traders on site to fill some time when you have had enough of the music and just want to do something else.

The serious end of the day for me started with Public Service Broadcasting who’s mixture of keyboard, guitar and 60’s style public service announcements always puts a smile on my face.

As I was also there to do some of the photography I could rarely stay for as long as I wanted so it was quickly across the site to catch the start of a set from the ever-fantastic Ash who were easily one of the best bands of the whole weekend.

Deciding to give the Bunnymen a miss meant I could stay for most of the set, rush off to download some shots and be back in time for Wolfmother.

I have only ever seen theses guys on telly and have wanted to catch them live for a few years so this was a real treat for me.

True to my expectations they absolutely smashed it and put on a show that must surely have converted any first timers in the large crowd.

From there it was off to pack my kit up and make my way to the main stage for the Sunday night headliners NGHFB.

Starting with Everybody’s On The Run, Lock All The Doors and The Heat of The Moment before stopping for a quick chat and then onwards with Riverman and You Know We Cant Go Back before Champagne Supernova the first Oasis tune of the night.

The rest of the set included a mix of solo tunes and Oasis favourites.

The evening ended with Half The World Away, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger sending the happy crowd off on the journey home or to look for other stages where bands played on.

The organisers should be proud of what they have achieved in putting on a major festival in the city and keeping it so affordable.

To put it into perspective tickets to see Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds on their last tour were around the £50 mark.

Today you could have seen Noel, Ash, Wolfmother, Mark Ronson, Jack Savoretti, local favourites Kassassin Street, more than 100 other bands and countless other entertainment for £20 if you booked early enough!

Victorious has got to be the best value for money festival in the country right now so make sure you have a look, maybe me and the Gruffalo will see you next year!
