Sheep Music: the aftermath Presteigne's Sheep Music festival had the misfortune of coinciding with the downpours that led to widespread flooding in July 2007. The site, on the edge of the town is now churned up, presumably by tractors extracting vehicles. At one time the campsite was threatened by the rising waters of the Lugg.
