Funnily enough, it was only yesterday when a mate (from Germany) told me about this festival on the phone! 

[slaughterboy]

Work keeps me away from festivals unless they coincide with holidays which, unfortunately, this does not.

Might be able to make the Sunday though as I finish work earlier.

[Nick]

Not sure if it would worth your while Shayne as the day ticket price for sunday is £40. 

Be nice to see you if did come though 

[Nick]

Of course £40 to see this country's best singer songwriter is always going to be a bargain.

Too Sarf for me! I'll have to mkae do with Rebellion

Zut alors!! 

I'd have to be taking the whole day off to make it worthwhile, bearing in mind the cost of the diesel to get there and back.

Have to mull this one over.

Carefully...

Didn't Mkae play for Spurs, Derby, Hearts and Scotland? 

[slaughterboy]

I suppose I'll be limited by funds and time to the 12 Bar again, plus a return trip to Sarfend.

Nice way to start the summer though, innit?

Thought I'd nip up ( actually down ) to PBTS for a day or two .  Avondale45 playing tonight wot more can ya say 

[Nick]

The festival is in disarray at the moment. Rumours abound. Is it on or is it off? No one knows. I would advise anyone thinking of coming to check with the website before you travel. The Damned it seems will definitely not be playing.

These numerous punk 'festivals' all seem to be having a hard time this year. In fact, not just the punk ones. Sign of the financial times I'm afraid.

[Nick]

Friday went ok, but not as many fans as last year, & now I am hearing that the rest of the weekend is cancelled. Great! 

On a good note I finally got to meet Steve the Fish who is a really nice chap.
Also Avondale 45 made the evening really worthwhile by playing a blinding set. Also good were Charred Hearts, Menace & The Rezillos.
