It's a lot of different things, It is a bit of everything, I think the main purpose of it is music, Food, A collection of promoters, Oh wow, it's pretty hard, friends overlap like a big giant venn diagram, Quite a lot of stuff happening, Food and drink, I want to interview the pop stars, Sounded amazing in . . ., A ton of Venues, & some of these overlap, one man and his tuba, Venn is wonderful, A different festival, Really good promoters putting on some wicked bands, enjoyed it thoroughly, didn't really know what the amazingfestival was about until we got here, we still don't really know, best, beautiful, I think it's ace, slightly strange and all the better for it, I don't think many things are like Venn, some wicked bands, we still don't really know, you have to think . . .amazing, I'm very pleased that Venn exists, I do love Venn, brilliant, Venn is the best festival in the country. Really? Easily, Thank you Venn.

About me: A collaborative project by Venn '06 documentarists in residence: artist / filmakers
Amy Feneck, David Hopkinson and Lady Lucy. What happens when a
bunch of music extremists take over Bristol? Shooting from three
different angles and just about everybody's point of view, the answer
lies at the heart of this video expedition into Venn's music,
movements and motives.
