BANDS COMMENTS
Tom Hingley (frontman of Inspiral Carpets) said live onstage ‘the council would be crazy not supporting BOMfest.’

Nik Turner (ex Hawkwind sax player) was quoted saying ‘It’s a great thing what BOM are doing and I would be willing to come back and do a sax workshop for BOMfest in the future’.

Senser in 2006 said they were gutted when they arrived at the site and ‘crowds of people were walking the other way dripping wet through’.

Senser in 2007 said ‘BOMfest was one of the best gigs they had done for quite a while, thoroughly enjoyed coming to Barnsley and would come back anytime’.

Father from Croatia said 'arrived home after 24 hours of driving, but it was worth it! Thanks Bom Fest for making such a great event, it was amazing! Hope to be a part of it in future again!'
Big Dave - the legend!!!
