Hi Priya,

I'm really interested in doing some previews for upcoming festivals. I went to Bestival, V Festival and Lovebox last year, so I'm clued up on those, but of course I'd be happy to preview any others.

Thanks

Lucy

I did this last year for Guilfest [and got passes] on behalf of myvillage and would be more than happy to do the same this year.

Also I did not see Cornbury on your list. Just let me know if you want me to go ahead.

Hiya!

Pls do go ahead with the press passes. Also the list of festies are only the the previews that are outstanding, but i will double check to see if Cornbury is in our festival guide - ta!
