I doubt it'll be AFP. Thom and Nigel will do a DJ set somewhere in Block9/ShangriLa/Common. Can't see them doing a band set as well.
-
Good news Peter. Rolf went down a storm last time he played and I'd be disappointed not to see him again.
Really looking forward to seeing Dexys as well. I was at their very first gig in Birmingham in 1979 (I think)
-
What's going to happen about the sunday headliner? Is there someone else lined up?
Y'know, just in case...
-
I have to agree Marooned. Peatbog Faeries were great, and they blew away Bellowhead, who seemed to be going through the motions. I've seen Bellowhead four times this year (same set list each time) and this was definitely the least impressive.
Other highlights: Otway alone and with band, Richard Thompson (looked like he was enjoying himself),Spooky Men's Chorale, Outcast band in the village hall, Tim Edey and Brendan Power. ms blue enjoyed Rolf too.
Food range was good and not too expensive and the Big Top came into it's own during the rain shower on saturday.
The stewards and security seemed really relaxed, maybe because the crowd was so laid back.
The bar had a good selection of real ales and the staff were efficient and smiley.
We'll certainly be back next year, knowing that Peter will have a line-up to look forward to, and the friendliest festival anywhere.

Just got back from another brilliant Wickham. Line up was great (if a little Scot heavy), weather stayed good and the villagers were more welcoming than ever. Great idea to use the community centre for breakfasts and late night, though first night timing could have been better. The first band had more time than Otway's band.
Next year could we have urinals in the main field to cut down the loo queues? I was having to think 20 minutes ahead to time pee breaks!

Don't worry, it'll change again before the festival. It's now saying light rain thursday and friday. We'll all be snug inside the Big Top

I've started packing the van, looks like good weather
! Don't worry about the stubble; it gets trodden down after the first day

This years most surprising appearance will be ME.
Was resigned to missing the first Glasto since 1999 but a vvv good mate got me a ticket in the 2nd resale.
Chuffed as ninepence.
-
It's a bit quiet in here!
I'm really looking forward to Wickham again this year, it was great last time after the move from Stokes Bay, a much better atmosphere and we really felt welcomed by the villagers.
Line up looks good too.
-
More acts have been posted for Wickham 2011 and it looks better and better. Really looking forward to Richard Thompson. Saw him a couple of weeks ago with his band but solo he's just brilliant. Added to Bellowhead, Kate Rusby and The Men They Couldn't Hang, I wouldn't be anywhere else.
-
I'm going to be there again this year. Line up so far looks great and we're back on four wheels so 'golden barley stubble' holds no fears.
Now, when shall we start the countdown?
-
A tear sprung up when I read that, it's been an emotional day. Thanks mister
-
I'm with red eye and scarey fairy, I missed out this morning despite have two browsers with multiple tabs continually refreshing plus a mobile and landline constantly dialling. If I don't get a ticket in the resales it will be my first miss since 1999.
I've been thinking maybe it's karma, I've had my years now it's someone else's turn to experience the magic.
I just hope my ticket didn't go to someone who's only going for U2
-
Just a few days to go now. Anyone got a weather forecast?
-
I'm pleased to announce that me and ms blue will be attending this year. We missed last year because of a planning issue (ours, not yours)but we're really looking forward to the great line up and bucolic setting
If Den's coming I might even do a countdown
-
thats ALL we need--a forum full of stewards!!
And no Mr Blue to countdown. How things have changed eh.
-
My mate got himself a ticket yesterday, he has received his confirmation email and then he checked on see tickets to see if his ticket is on the tracker section, which it is. However they have not taken money out of his account and when he called see tickets the said he game the wrong security code on his card.
It is confusing, why would they send a confirmation email and have his ticket on the tracker section? Will they just reject it later on?
Any help would be much appreciated!
-
Booked by 9 and got the confirmation email at 9:27. Confirmation no 2385****

Someone asked about IP address.
This one is 100% good https://212.84.70.190/g2010/

As long as it's a debit (ie not credit) card you should be ok. Pretty sure they got the problem sorted about 3 years ago.
