London Feis

[glasto-worker]

Just in case anyone who has never been to Finsbury Park before looks at the map at

http://londonfeis.com/finsbury-park/

that map is incorrect - the actual park is across the road .

if you arrive at Finsbury Park station and walk up Seven Sisters Road towards Manor House its on the left and not on the right.

Its amazing they got it wrong.

i managed to get a saturday day ticket for a fiver yesterday. keep your eyes peeled for tickets going on the cheap as apparently the festival has loads of tickets left and selling them off in brief super cheap deals so the festival isn't half empty.

got mine from: http://www.supajam.com/news/story/SupaJam-gives-you-Bob-Dylan--Van-Morrison-Feis-Festival-tickets-NOW

theyve all gone now but think they did the same thing for an hour last week

This will screw up the ticket touts - I spotted one w/e ticket going for £ 600 - are they crazy ?

I feel slightly cheated getting mines straight away at face value

still, I suppose I didn't grudge paying the money at the time so no point crying over spilt milk

Under a fortnight to go

At least the money from this goes to the ICAP charity, rather than to the general money pot.

Hey - I was just on the official website, looking for info about travel seeing as there could well be a tube strike (nothing doing on that though..... ) , and noticed that Imelda May seems to have disappeared from the lineup - has anyone heard anything about this? I was pretty curious about seeing her, as I'd heard she puts on quite a show, so it will be s shame if she's not playing now.

Also, I've not seen this anywhere else, but you may be interested to hear that The Saw Doctors have announced that they are playing at 9.15 on the second stage, against Dylan on the main stage. Having seen Dylan at Fleadh way back in the early 90's (and not being impressed, despite liking Dylan), I think I may be tempted to go to see the boys from Tuam instead.....

[chaddie]

Ah - have just seen elsewhere that she's pulled out - shame....

[Guy Rope Tripper]

I would also like stage times please! Getting some breakfast just now before heading over

[Guy Rope Tripper]

It seemed the only way to find out the times was to buy a progamme! No information on running times was given by the tent or the main stage as far as I could see.

[BrotherEsau]

.. but the organisation was piss poor. Doubt I'll venture back for another, ...

Thought the atmosphere was really good. Pretty nice vibe and enjoyed Bob.

Diclosure: I did only pay a fiver for my ticket from supajam.

[padders]

was there and had a great day but teh feis organizers left themselves down badly . the ploy of refusing to disclose set times so as to get people in and spending is breathtakingly cynical .

toilets a disgrace and this thing of selling tix at a fiver - 14 times cheaper than the people who have supported from the off is hardly designed to encourage repeat business .

also the site was half the size compared to when the fleadh was held there

cant imagine they will hold one next year as why would anyone pay full price when you can get in for a fiver
