Mrs One and I will be trekking across from the wild west on the Sunday.

Bert and Mrs Bert attending.

[RacingHippo]

Gutted I can't make it to this as I'm itching to see Hen play with Touchstone, especially as when I spoke with him after the DeeExpus/Touchstone gig in Somewhereneardoncaster I opined that his style would suite Touchstone a whole lot better than Mellers'...

[MikeEvs]

It was through Metro which is a free newspaper over here,  think I entered via the website after someone mentioned it on twitter.  Can't remember if there was a question or if you just had to give your email

Grats Mike.
Our wristbands arrived yesterday!

[MikeEvs]

Cheers Pedro have to pick mine up when I arrive on site

[L33VEY]

Just bought my ticket for the Saturday and I'll be camped in front of the Prog stage (except for the Zappa set, when I'll find a tree to snooze under).
Seen both Transatlantic and Focus recently but the others will be new.

Wedding Anniversary on the Sunday..........

[Bert]

Got my writsband, now got my Sunday T-Shirt.

Seems like Transatlantic are on approx same time as Heaven and Hell, but apart from that, I have no other clashes

[Mouse]

I've been told that my wristband wotsit has arrived at my mate's house. Yippee!

Ooh, have they hinted at times somewhere? I've read that accurate timings won't be released until the day for some reason.
