Just me.  Kim can't make it most years as it clashes with work.  hats the problem with teaching.  Great holidays but you can't take off when you want to.

at least 6 of us travelling across.  I'm driving this year so we are planning a road trip.

Any plans for Lowlands this year?

Last year I ended up going to more as I left my work.. but unless I quit in May then it will be just the 4 or 5  

Definately not doing Wickerman though, been past 4 years and would prefer a change to a new one if I was doing any more

Nope, not worked the last 3 Glasto's.. doubt I will again unless am totally skint or miss out on a ticket

I went to Wickerman for the first time last year and loved it. It had always clashed with weddings previously - popular weekend.

Last year I thought The Human League were outstanding on the main stage - total pop. Danced my heart out and then headed to the Solus Tent and danced some more.

Idlewild and Candi Staton were also highlights. The Zutons were a little disappointing for me.

In the Solus Tent - 17th Century, Pearl and the Puppets and Second Hand Marching Band did it for me.

Berry Tweed & The Chasers and The Amphetameanies were great in the Scooter tent.

For 2010

Teenage Fanclub have a new album coming out, I'd love to see them.

Marlena Shaw would be my shout for a kind of Candi Staton appearance. Or Martha Reeves.

Loads of good bands in Glasgow just now for the Solus Tent - Nevada Base, Futuristic Retro Champions, Sonny Marvello, The Cinnamons, Stevie and the Moon to name a few.

Teenage fanclub would do for me

I'm sure Chay said he had the Solus lineup sorted already.

'mon the announcements!!!!!!

[Chay]

Nope, I'm still sorting Solus.  But it is coming together very very nicely.  

(Teenage Fanclub would also do it for me Treacle   )

I see you got a ticket according to your Facebook post.  Will you be camping in the Efests camp.  Our group might well join you this year

[Swieve]

Just booked our tickets for the festival this evening.  Looking forward to it greatly.  We will be getting the earlier ferry this time so should be on site early afternoon

That was me just paying the balance off, and am having a change of scenery this year and heading to the East side of the site

Edited by Paul ™, 11 February 2010 - 11:30 PM.

[Swieve]

We have always camped on the east side.  Thinking of a change this year but that is by no means definite.

[mbalba]

come lets get John Farham to play - john farham (the voice)

[musicmurray]

Teenage Fanclub would be ace

And it would be good to get some other Scottish bands on the bill as well - BMX Bandits would go down well. Belle and Sebastian?

It is a fantastic festival - for anyone reading this thread that hasn't been, it has a great vice to it.

Hope the weather is as good as last year.

[mbalba]

any idea when the acts will be announced??

i've already got my tickets and squirt sorted out

[Chay]

I do love the squirts.  damn fine bit of no-need-for-a-tent fun!
