^some have caps in names, some lower case. I've written them as they appear on my list. Am emailing them all now.

EDIT this list isn't from last year and some positions may have changed, but most will still be valid. You can always try Google to check.

If you need any more PM me, I have the full list for BBC Production.

The BBC usually have one track performances by bands that are shown on TV in their gardens/prod/presenting areas. They aren't seen by festival goers as they are in 'private' areas. Maybe the BBC could be persuaded to feature Biggles.

For example

Had the same reply as others from GFL. At least they replied and I guess their response if fair enough.

That won't make you easy to pick out!

I learnt last week, to my utter bewilderment, that upper/lower case letters don't matter in email addresses etc.

This is terrible news. I can't imagine a festival without Biggles I never even seek them out, I always manage to stumble across them by accident, and always end up watching them.

biggles are in talks with the festival organisers about appearing in the Pyramid Stage

[Pinhead]

Really? Are you connected to the festival?

Edit: good news if true btw...

[harriet]

No but I do know Biggles

They also posted it on the fb page

[Pinhead]

Ah. Don't do fb so thanks for relaying. Great news.

Fingers crossed

Would be well deserved. A Sunday Morning Service from Father Green would be good.

They played at our wedding two weeks ago and everyone absolutely loved them. Our phones havent stopped going with people asking how they can get more from them!!!

On Jolly Jock's own Facebook page, there's some of his performance times. Also- and I shed a little tear when I read this- he and his wife Janet will be getting married for the second time during the Sunday Service on the Croissant Neuf bandstand at noon. He says they'd like us all to be there to witness it *snifs*.

So I'm going to be packing a box of confetti. I think this says a lot about how much the festival means to him. Bless him. Looking forward to this but it's going to be very emotional, Biggles has been the big highlight of the festival for all our family for quite some time.

Aww thats lovely. We will probably still be on shift then but if they let us off early we will be there.

Was in floods of tears along with many others at the Sunday Service.

When the Bishop of Bristol did his little address from the Pyramid about relationships it was almost a dead ringer for Father Green's comments at Jock's wedding.
