Ramblin’ Man Fair, Highlights from Saturday July 25th 2015
What a difference a day makes. So sang Renee Olstead in the classic song from yesteryear.

Hot sunny weather, the middle of a beautiful country park in the heart of Kent (The Garden of England), real ale on draught (Iron Maiden’s Trooper Ale), a real ale tent and 3 stages containing the best that Classic Rock, Progressive Rock and Outlaw Country music have to offer.

Ethereal Architect – Monolith Review
Seriously, at times this music feels as though it should be accompanying some massive set-piece stage show about knights and kings etc…
