Who is this jerk above? “Osfest” isnt V, and dosnt want to be. This is a fantastic event for our area, and Carly and the team do an outstanding job in bringing live music to Shropshire. Every festival has to start somewhere, and it is growing every year. Razorlight sold over 5 million albums,so id say they are worthy of the quotes, as with Hard Fi. So you pop along to V, and me and the rest of Shrophire will be having a great weekend.
