Some excellent names there! We'll be booking very soon, after a recent wobble for £££ reasons. The full Gong reunion malarkey helped!

I'm so tempted now to head for my first beautiful days, what a superb first announcement

I fully agree Darren. I have in recent years traditionally moaned at the weak line-ups (IMO of course ) but this is quite a stunning array of acts. And all headliners announced already!

Now off to work out how the eff I/we to afford this

Not a bad idea. It's both secure and different, if you get my drift.

Mrs TSU is interested, but it's gonna be a rocky road......

Good announcment, great festival. Will be back one year soon

[darrenbha]

Will be purely financial concerns that make it a struggle but reckon it can be done

Not bad. Hope my dad takes me again. NO Hobo jones there though still not been on the line up won't stop them.

My thoughts too.
Brill line-up so very, very tempting.

Darren> Yep a great festival to take kids along to, especially if their first.
We did in 2006 as a family (with TSU+ family) & my youngest was only 3 then.
I also saw PaulTM & Rollergirl there with little ones as well as many festival goers with their kids.

That first festival with the kids was so enjoyable we were back as a family in 2007. 'Skint-i-tas' has kept us away since though
