I just hope it goes ahead this year, as my tickets for last year have rolled over to this year.
Fairport Convention and Hazel O'Connor have now been added.#

The act of the weekend award goes to Hazel O Connor.
Superb voice, superb performer.

The main stage was dangerous due to the weather, I think we had the worst weather in the uk.
All acts playing the main stage were moved to the big top.
Melanie and Bad Company refused to play if not on the main stage so we never saw them, and Mike Peters from the Alarm is ill again so he couldn't make an appearance.
