 Overview - Thimbleberry Festival 2005 review
This should never have worked, but somehow the Thimbleberry organisers have figured out a way to break the laws of physics.
While outside, all the stages running are pretty clearly audible, but once inside one of the music areas, there's virtually no bleed, and you were perfectly able to watch bands without being drowned out by the sound of deep house coming from the dance tent about a 100 yards away.
This is their second year at Thimbleberry, and I'm frankly amazed that this is the only festival they appear at.

Thimbleberry has up to this point been a well kept secret.
