So what is this "little surprise" for Levellers fans - might take the edge off the disappointment ;-)

dunno what the little surprise might be, but for no surprise just wait a year.

Dirk Wears White Sox is a brilliant album, as is much of the even earlier Decca and Peel sessions stuff. Of course, he should be strung up for what followed

Is the 'little surprise' that the Levellers have agreed to do the headline slot at BT next year, according to the website?

[PastCaring]

It's no good - I can't find any references to the "little surprise" on any of the BT websites - it's not a late April fools joke is it?

[AnnaGrant]

The stories about BT 2012 are already starting. In years to come people will say 'Remember in 2012 when the Levellers had to pull out only 5 weeks before and Adam Ant stood in at the last minute?'

It will be like Glastonbury in 94(?) 'Remember the time the Pyramid Stage was burnt down less than 2 weeks before the festival, but Michael sorted everything out and we all had a good time?'

[timespeedsup]

Compulsory for each act to cover a Levs tune, or no rider?

Hobo do a couple of Levellers covers. They manage the fiddle solo particularly well.

There was a comment somewhere - either BT forum, or facebook or somewhere!

Cant remember where as I was busy being miserable about Adam Ant!

We had lots of rain yesterday in Yorkshire , I guess the ground at BT is now tent peg friendly., but the car parks not so !

Any weather threads ?

Hmmm, Mr PC is convinced that the lovely Mark will do a solo set

BTW the weather here on the Derbyshire border is WET

[Rich BT]

Forecasts are looking pretty ok for May at the minute so shall see what happens. Last year the weather was pretty good just cold in the evenings with the odd rain shower.

Hoping for 2008 or 2010 weather but its always unpredictable considering last years heatwave in April, crap weather in June and didnt Alchemy get a thunder storms in September or was that the year before?? cant remember as the last few years are a bit fuzzy.

We have plans for wet weather and have money set aside to being in more metal roadway in for the car parks and hired rain shelters for the arena.

Hey Ivan, I'm popping over to BT from wonderful Staly Vegas, what's the chances of a bit of Saxon and some MDF to get me through the night.

I'm pleased with Adam Ant by the way!

[Rich BT]

We already been there and done that (and wont be doing it again)
