Over The Moon Festival

Over The Moon, a delightfully intimate and atmospheric festival in the Sussex countryside, provided an awful lot of what any festival-goer fancies. With two music stages, two Talks tents and a beautifully-arranged Healing area, it was family-orientated and packed with stimulating and varied entertainment – for those of the cerebral and hedonistic persuasion. Highlights were courtesy of the indefatigable, and still monstrously frenetic, Eat Static; the psychedelic stomp of Zub Zub; and the legendary reggae mash-up that is Roots Garden. Gregory Sams also deserves mention for his absorbing talk on ‘Ancient Light’. A real success.

Sussex Downs, 14–16 September 2012
