Have you tried Moseley Folk Fest Mr Stick? I think it’s a great little fest. No camping as it’s in the middle of Brum but I believe you are in the area.

Related... what’s the deal with pre-sales now? A while back they were by-and-large for fan club members only, and said fan club required you to pay subscriptions. GnR still do this I think, U2 did, maybe still do, not sure. Now it seems every gig has a pre sale and anybody can access them. May as well just start the general sale 2 days earlier. I myself am guilty of getting e-mail notifications for a pre sale, signing up there and then for a newsletter to ignore and getting the tix. Hang on, just answered my own question there, to spam people...

Showing great courage there. All the very best to you mate!

I’m in Auckland, need to get around a bit more though.

Only if I were sober enough to remember. Most of Glastonbury does not fit that bill 🤣

Nailed it..... Peter Gabriel for legends slot 😁

I remember queuing overnight in a alley behind Birmingham Odeon for Simple Minds tickets (it was that three weeks in the 80s when they were a big deal) It was quite fun really, there were loads of people and it turned into quite a party. Ah well.... times change.

There was a badger in my garden a few weeks back. Edge of town. Big fella he was, could have done with a wash and blow dry.

Wish I could go to Besutiful Days! No festivals for me this year, had a one-dayer in March which was good but way too commercialised. They simply don’t do good festivals here in NZ. The live music scene is probably the thing I miss most about UK.

Bob Dylan just announced start of a new world tour for Asia, Australia and NZ, July and August this year. Could still be going on into 2019, might there be a place for him on the farm? Legends? Top of bill on West Holts? Top/near top of bill on Pyramid?

Just heard about this, sad times 🙁

Mostly East for me, Pennsylvania, DC, NewYork, Carolina. Everybody gets a different experience I guess.

I’ve been to the states many times, never seen a band in a bar or restaurant except on Paddy’s day. Back on topic, I dun gone got me a QOTSA ticket for later this year. This made me happy 😁

Just read that wet wipes could be set for a phase out too (single use, contain plastic ). Seems festivals could get even smellier in future. oh I miss proper glasto gossip at this time of year
