Up-Load UK, Gigs News & reviews The Infidels Guilfest Interview



Up-load	You played at GuilFest this year – how was it for you?
Chris	Thoroughly enjoyed it, played last year too, better playing two slots, serious slot saturday lots of fun sunday!! .
Up-load	Did you manage to catch anyone else play over the weekend/day ?
Chris	Probably not cool to say it but really enjoyed Blondie, one of the tightest bands i have ever seen/heard.
Up-load	What was your favourite thing about the festival?
Chris	Playing the Unison stage sunday, tent full and many people dancing and having fun.
Up-load	Would you consider playing there again?
Chris	We would be very dissapointed if we are not asked back, great festival, nice size friendly atmosphere .
Up-load	Do you think you made any new fans while you were there?
Chris	Hope so, people seemed to enjoy both our sets and we received lots of positive feedback afterwards .
Up-load	What would you say is better – playing at a festival or playing smaller venues?
Chris	Like both, love the intimacy of small venues but if people are up for it and enjoying it then it makes you relax and play better. Nice playing to a big appreciative crowd too!.
