  1. How strict are the bag size limits? Do folk get turned away if they have slightly larger bags (as in not as miniscule as the A4 guideline, but a few cm larger -ie a collapsable pocketable "rucksack" or a cheapo airline size cabin bag)
  2. The press releases at the time the festival announced said 15,000 capacity. The arena itself, as I say, looks to be able to hold considerably more than that though.
  3. Capacity is apparently 15,000 (although the arena part alone of the venue itself can accomodate more than double that according to the Royal Highland Center's website). DF haven't really said how ticket sales have been.
  4. Nope. I'm going, and can't wait for it! I know of a few others that are going all weekend and a whole raft of folk going just on the Saturday too.
  5. I usually use a combination of an inflatable pillow underneath and a collapsible camping pillow on top (although the one I use is about half the size of the Decathlon one). The collapsible ones are softer and more pleasant to lie on, but are too flimsy to be used on their own I feel. Whereas the inflatable ones give you a bit of support but aren't very comfortable - the two together works for me. It's less weight and bulk carrying the two in than a full size pillow - but it's a personal preference thing as to whether it would be comfortable enough for you I guess.
  6. I use these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01IW3XLNE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They're moldable, and once I've got them in comfortably I barely notice they're there.

    Love Affair

    I think he's yanking your chain. A quick bit of Googling confirms he's neither Maurice Bacon (Love Affair's drummer) or Clem Cattini (who apparently recorded the drums on Love Affair's version of Everlasting Love).

  8. Have you heard of Headway- https://www.headway.org.uk/? They're a charity that deals with assisting people affected by stroke and brain injuries. I had a stroke myself a few years back (brain haemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm) - I was lucky in that I have made a full recovery but the information Headway provided and just knowing the services they offered were available if I needed them were invaluable to me during recovery. They offer a lot of services, including legal advice, or health advice/answers to brain injury questions from neuro nurses. Worth checking out if you've not. I had a similar experience to you in that, when you are discharged, you feel a bit like you've just been left to get on with it without any sort of guidance or next steps (the care I had while I was in hospital was top notch - it really was, but the aftercare, other than follow up scans every couple of years, just sort of falls off a cliff - NHS funding issues I suspect). Headway and other charities like them are great for helping try to get your head round what to expect in the coming months and for providing assistance.
  9. I think that's the Piano Bar you're thinking of
  10. It will be busy, but there will still be space I'd say, probably a better chance of finding space there than alot of the other fields. There's also a little overspill field just off Bailey's near the entrance to that field that usually gets opened on the Thursday.
  11. Checking reviews of other events held there I've not seen any mention of complaints about noise from the airport - some of the events were the likes of Scotfest that included music, and others involved camping. I'd have expected at least someone to mention unwanted noise if it was an issue. So, fingers crossed it's all good.
  12. Nevermind, I've found it (despite directing people to sign up for their mailing list from their official website, neither the mailing list nor the official website were updated with the announcement!)- https://twitter.com/ChemBros/status/1490628179580628997?s=20&t=y5RxamT-dHtKJW5nOu3DAA
  13. Anyone seen any announcement yet?
  14. To the OP - no, avoid them I'd say. I've ordered one thing from them and had no issues with it, but a few months later, I was helping a mate track down a record and found them as the only stockist, he had an absolute nightmare of a time dealing with them - never got his records in the end, although he did, eventually, get a refund, after threatening to take it up with PayPal.
