Talking about Festivals this should be a good one if you are in Australia, Crosby Stills & Nash, Canned Heat, Yes,John Fogerty,Seasick Steve, etc etc. Byron Bay is one cool place too, was the hippy capital of Australia 60's/70's still is to a certain extent but the multimillionares have grabbed a big chunk, fantastic atmosphere & great surf beaches, hey I sound like a promoter might put in for a job ha-ha.
