WHITCHURCH FESTIVAL 3 - 5 August 2001

2001 was the fourth year I made it along to the Whitchurch Festival and, as usual, I was expectant of seeing and discovering some great bands. in 2000 I had been a little disappointed by acts I'd seen the previous year (Haze and IQ in particular) so hoped that acts making a repeat visit this year (Landmarq, The Cardiacs) would not leave the same impression. The venue was again the Whitchurch school sports hall, the Testbourne Centre, plus the small hall for afternoon sessions.

The bill ran like this - headliner at the bottom of the list (click on a band for a review):
