Mmmm - jus what we need - more choice and possible clashes!!

Am I alone in thinking that, particularly in the light of these tough times and the downwards pressure on earnigs, that a bit of scaling back and a possible reduction in ticket price might be more appropriate at the mo?

Course its the perfect time to scale when demand far out stretches demand, and  it would seem  theres still those who demand who have money coming into pay for it. Its not fair but its how life is.

Hoping Arthur Brown will feature this year, seen him a few times at Glasto but last year he blew my socks off when he played in the Glade, just brilliant!

[mikeb]

He's gotta be almost 70 now hasn't he ?  Would be good mind you but I would rather suspect severly scaled back theatrics and dancing like a loon no matter how much, erhm, pharmaceutical assistance may possibly be on offer

"Hoping Arthur Brown will feature this year, seen him a few times at Glasto but last year he blew my socks off when he played in the Glade, just brilliant!"

Saw him headline the main stage at Wickerman a few years back and then he lead the procession to the "burning". Was great fun..... great entertainer. Potentially an excellent line-up for the new stage. Abba anyone?!

[Boris]

Hmmm think I may know a fellow heavily involved in the construction of this work. Can't wait to see it. *excited*

[guypjfreak]

its a shame that they cant find a place to put the stage nearer to Arabella Churchills bridge

[blackcockerel]

Yeah that would have been very fitting. Sounds like it could be great though anyway. Didn't know Hendrix was actually going to play back in the day!
