MAVERICK<br />
Maverick, a portal to America from<br />
Easton Farm Park which always<br />
leaves audiences wanting more.<br />
A family friendly three day Americana folk<br />
festival starting on the Friday evening not<br />
only has amazing music but tasty food for<br />
whatever mood and adorable animals to pet,<br />
some of which include: horses, chickens,<br />
ducks and my favourite, heart melting<br />
bunnies.<br />
And now to give you an insight into the<br />
music. Round every corner you turn, your<br />
ears are filled with sweet, mind blowing<br />
melodies from artists all around the world.<br />
What makes this weekend so enjoyable is<br />
the fact that each artist is so unique and<br />
all have their own style. The most popular<br />
Unlike Vegas, what happens at Maverick<br />
doesn’t stay at Maverick as on the last<br />
day, when the festival ends around two<br />
in the afternoon, it is then taken over to<br />
a neighbouring pub where the after party<br />
ends when people decide it’s their bed<br />
time. With accompanying American style<br />
nibbles and more music, the after party<br />
is definitely something to venture over to<br />
when you don’t want it to end yet.<br />

stage was the<br />
peacock stage<br />
which was beautifully decorated with a giant,<br />
colourful peacock painting which acted as<br />
a backdrop for the stage. The stage hosted<br />
some of the people’s favourite artists such as<br />
Angel Snow, and yes she really does sound<br />
like an angel with such a powerful voice. Kev<br />
and Kelly, who’s special power is livening up<br />
the audience. Finally, everyone’s favourite,<br />
Black Feathers, whose last song was met by<br />
screams and cheers for more music.<br />
Maverick is definitely a festival for everyone<br />
no matter what music you like to sing along<br />
to in the shower whether it be Pop Punk,<br />
Indie Rock or just general pop, every artist<br />
is so different that you’re bound to find<br />
something to bop along to.<br />
Maverick festival is a festival I’ve always<br />
had a personal interest in, especially as<br />
it is held in the village I went to Primary<br />
school. It was an amazing surprise to<br />
see a former classmate of mine, Ella,<br />
performing with her friend Josh; their<br />
performance was jaw dropping! The<br />
festival has a feel like no other, I loved<br />
every second. I’ll be returning next year,<br />
hope to see y’all there.<br />
