Now that admin has had a nap or five he’s ready to come and say a big thank you to everyone who came along to Field Frolics 2023 and made it such a huge success.
We hope you’ll agree that our amazing lineup of The Leylines, Mr Tea and the Minions, The Sweetchunks Band, Tim & Athene from 3 Daft Monkeys, Brian Stone & The Masters Of None, Lonely Tourist, The Kahunas, Nasty Fishmonger, B-Sydes, Warren Ireland, Ruby Kelly and LunaBarge (and also FMI Clatters who was ever so good at not organising any secret gigs) all put on an amazing show, that Josh and Ben from BH Sound & Lighting Hire did a fantastic job on tech, that Keren and her fabulous team from Events Horizon did an awesome job as ever in the kitchen and behind the bar, and that our small but merry band of volunteers did a brilliant job of keeping the place clean, tidy and functioning, special mentions here go to Tom who was an absolute trooper for - amongst many, many other tasks - squeezing more vehicles than expected into a smaller space than planned and to Jules for pulling a marathon shift on the gate on Friday.
We announced a while back that this would be our last event in Somerset and we are pleased to announce and support DimpseyFest who will be coming in to fill the village hall shaped hole in your festival calendar next September. We’ll be there as punters and we’d love to party it up with you all free of our organisational stresses when it comes around.
Speaking of organisational stresses I pretty much forgot to take any pictures so here, genuinely, is every picture I took at the last ever Field Frolics. We know you’ll all have been busy snapping away so we’d love to see the one favourite photo that you took this weekend in the comments.
Thanks a million to everyone who has supported me (Jackson) and FFF Promotions since our first proper gig in 2018 it really has been a whirlwind of a hobby that got way out of control! Special thanks to my immensely patient wife and Enabler In Chief, Kelly. I’ll see you in a field sometime. Cheers 🍻
