that's right, approx 20 mins after each set. The MCs  will also be announcing the signings. We're still working on Mos Def and George Clinton, watch this space!

***Stop the press***

George Clinton has just confirmed a CD signing after his set!

[rhysieg]

Just out of interest - does it have to be a CD purchased at the stall?  Or can you bring anything to be signed?

I don't know.  Looks like they have quite a money spinner going on.  If I wanted to get 2 items signed I'm not happy about paying £20 for the privilege!  Call me cheap if you want....
