I am a little disappointed to seeing tribute bands headlining the two main days. I have seen Toploader live at a festival when they were briefly famous some years ago and they were quite good.

There were three days of events at Crabble Corn Mill that you could have gone to last year, though that venue is not included in the program this year.

Suddenly upon us next weekend I don't know how ticket sales have gone. There is a notice outside advising people not to cut through Pencester Gardens on the 16th or 20th when setting up and packing up will be in progress for safety reasons.

Brian just listen and watch from the other side of the barrier for free.
I wish the organisers well as a lot of work has gone into making the event a success.

You can take your own food n drink as well and to make it more realistic,you can have a warm beer in a cracked plastic glass with a wasp in it,just like i,ve done at many festivals i,ve been to.
