Perfect Pitch Magazine would like to say Congratulations to all the winners of last nights UK Festival Awards.

Last nights awards were full of celebrations and a few surprises. In particular we would really like to say congratulations to Lee Fest for winning the Best Grass Roots festival and for providing us with much entertainment on the night, Lounge On The Farm for the Best Line Up after such a diverse and unique festival this year, and Katrina Larkin for the Lifetime achievement award, The Big Chill this year was certainly the highlight of our year, these were all well deserved. We were sad to see that Festinho didn’t win the Best Toilets award as they certainly deserved it. There was much love on the stage especially when the Bestival group accepted their awards, full of joy and much champagne there were plenty of hugs and praise for their wives going around. Performances on the night from We Were Promised Jetpacks and The Hot Rats provided a welcome break from the handing out of the awards and it was good to see the Supergrass pair on stage in the form of The Hot Rats.
