Kendal Calling 2012

[ramragon]

would imagine it might be the calling out stage, with any luck !

[Flaminglippy]

Yeah, would make sense

[Mr_Grump]

Had to laugh at someone post on the KC facebook page about potential announcements......"The jam? Now there's a band who are being pretty secretive about stuff"

Some people just dont know how ridiculous their suggestions are lol

i took the bairn to the happy slap a few times last year as she wanted to see the acts with fire, the tent was in the same field as the kaylied, just opposite. cant say i saw many acts there apart from fire breathers and a space hopper race !

[Flaminglippy]

Train booked...get to Penrith at 9.45 on the Thursday. Nice early start from Brum!

[Jacko450]

I cannot wait now, this lovely weather has got me right in the mood!

Time to get the tent up and tested at the weekend I reckon

[Jacko450]

Im yet to experience a good weather festival in 4 years Surely this year is mine.

[ramragon]

I hope your not gonna be a jinx mind Jacko ! Id prefer warm and sunny intervals, I remember Glastonbury 2 years ago where it was roasting, I was worn out by early evening every day and there was nowhere to cool down. We brits love to moan regardless !

[Flaminglippy]

Thinking the Bibelots might be playing...just noticed they're down as 'friends' of Kendal on FB. I was banging on about them earlier in the year and one of the organisers of Kendal said he'd give them a listen so looking good...well worth catching if they're on

[sam12betsy]

Tent is up in't garden

[Flaminglippy]

In 2 days time Kendal will officially be 'next month'...

Hope the extra capacity isn't going to have too big an impact...as long as the site has been made bigger to accomodate I'm sure it will be fantastic still.

_{The licence is for an increase in capacity from 14,999 to 19,999 but will be phased over the next 3 years.}

_{The numbers quoted also include workers and stewards/security, not just punters (like glasto has a licence for 185,000, only 130,000 are punters)}

Another announcement at 9am tomorrow, new acts and a new stage.

it may be clutching at straws, but Ash has announced they have some news to announce tomorrow, would be nice but won't matter as already happy with the line up

[ramragon]

Wheres that from? Not seen anything on the KC website or KC Facebook page....they're usually very good at keeping everyone informed of announcements - are you mistaking it for last Thursdays announcement?

[ramragon]
