yeah, this.

 

"Enjoy the Pilton Pop, Blues & Folk Festival 2016"

 

if you have a printer, maybe print out a selection of photos from different areas like he Pyramid, T&C, Greenfields, Stone Circle, top of The Park, etc...

Just spat my brew across the room!! Winner!

[Lucy92]

Did he enjoy the present? 

[guitarbhoy1888]

cheers for the help everyone! 

sprinkle his sprouts with mandy is a personal favourite 

 

i ended up using the coordinates for the pyramid, 412 miles (distance from glasgow) and mick jagger saying 'so they finally asked us to come. then handed him a youtube video of joe strummer playing and he still never ticked! he finally ticked after about 5 minutes of claiming he was going to hyde park and no hasn't stopped talking about it all morning

How old is ur dad that's probably the coolest present he's ever got . Nice one .

Lets just take a step back here.

What a great son you must be to think of getting this for your Dad, presumably registering him on the quiet, and then nabbing him a ticket without really knowing if he'd want it,  what a great Dad, and a great laugh, he must be for inspiring you to do so, and most importantly, what a great relationship the two of you must have for you to want to go with him.

Merry Christmas to you both - a real heart warmer

thank you sir! he comes to gigs all the time with me and mates and loves his music. everything was done under the radar so keeping a secret for 3 months or whatever was difficult
