are you going to the music festival in the park this coming weekend oh yes i wouldn't miss it for the world it's become something to really look forward to in the summer how long has it been going now eight years oh this must be his 10th year if i remember rightly it started as a one-off but it was so well attended that it has become a regular event yes i remember the very first concert it was just local bands and singers and it lasted a couple of hours look at it now international stars and it

lasts three days mind you i'm glad i live locally because i don't think i'd want to camp out in the park for two nights certainly not with the wet weather you often get here at this time it's not that it's just so uncomfortable anyway i do think we're lucky to have such a great event on our doorstep you know not everyone's happy with having the festival here though yeah i've heard that there's been complaints about congestion and litter and the noise you'd think they'd welcome the tourism wouldn't you and it's only once a year after
