Urbanista went along to enjoy a Goodfellas prison dinner, a feast at Bitter Social.

If you want to experience it you have to hurry, they’re only there until April! The venue is really stunning,…

I’d always heard a lot of good things about it but never got around to trying it out for myself, but with my usual festival Glastonbury having a year off, it seemed the perfect time to check it out.

My experiences of last year are documented here: https://urbanista.staging.wpengine.com/bearded-theory-with-a-4-year-old-day-1/ https://urbanista.staging.wpengine.com/bearded-theory-with-a-4-year-old-day-2/ https://urbanista.staging.wpengine.com/bearded-theory-with-a-4-year-old-day-3/ https://livemusicreviews.co.uk/2018/05/31/bearded-theory-spring-gathering-2018-review/ With the likes of The Cult, Suede, Doves, Little Steven, Editors, Oh Sees, Steel Pulse, Stiff Little Fingers, Idlewild and The…
