Hurrah for Bestival winning Best Medium Festival for three years running, a record in Festival Award terms. Hurrah for The Levellers getting the Festival Feel Good gong. Hurrah for Blissfields getting the Best Small Festival prize. Oh, oh, and hurrah for McFly winning Best Festival Pop Act, which they are.
