Agreed, King Charles is brilliant! Give 'King Charles- Lady Percy' a listen, would be fantastic on a hot day.

But like Ive said before, Ive never had sun at a festival so not holding out hope

I saw King Charles at Crooked Ways, they were brilliant, hopefully they don't clash with anyone good!

King Charles will be playing 2 sets that day - once in Calling Out and another one at midnight in Riot Jazz, so you should be able to make one of them clash-free.

A question on camping, if you have a campervan ticket, can you still wander into all of the campsites or are you limited to just the campervan area?

Hello everyone, Just got my tix for this and cannot wait. Looks amazing, Firstly does anyone know how many tix are left and what size is the festival? Also what is the deal with Tim Burgess? Is he actually singing or just curating a stage!??

As far as im aware he's not down to play anywhere on site, He's organised a place called Tim Peaks Diner which im asuming is gonna be a tent where you can chill and have a cuppa as well as other bits. From whats been released he's organised a few sets to be played from Edwin Collins and Nick Hayward as well as others and there will be guest speakers and people doing book readings, With Tim having recently released a book i would imagine he might take an opportunity to do a reading.

I bought a new electric pump for our air beds this weekend - plugs into the cigarette lighter/DC outlet in cars - tried a bog standard battery powered one last year but it was neither use nor ornament!!

Not tried it yet, but the reviews look cracking.

I wouldve bagged one of these but I hear camping next to your car isnt available this year

[Mr_Grump]

I have no idea whatsoever what that means...but I assume its not great!Don't matter anyway...if it pisses down we're getting wet regardless! Assuming most of us on hear are going down on the Thursday?
