Expecting Rain

Boo. I ordered mine from the Hop Farm's very own website and I must say they're being very inefficient. I'll be on the phone to them tomorrow.

I ordered mine from Seetickets. I haven't got mine yet either.

Not got mine yet.

Who is camping there?

Yep, camping. Just hoping the mice in our attic didn't get at the tents. They chewed some of my daughter's soft toys which we foolishly stashed up there.

I will be camping there Guess it would be silly to hope it doesnt rain.
SEEtickets did say (in an email) they werent mailing them out til the week of

Just an idea: as Los Lobos will play friday, what are the chances we'll see Hidalgo making a guest appearance on accordeon? That'd be more exciting than a possible appearance of Van Morrison imo.

Van Morrison is a fat miserable tw@t who used to make awesome music, but whose last 14 albums all sound the same. Clinton Heylin said that.

Caledonia Soul Orchestra Wooo!
I said that.

Dr John has just been added to the lineup for the main stage on Friday!

we just need neil young and the band and we have a reunion of the lastw waltz

Ha, cool

Nice, looking forward to Dr. John. This festival is getting better and better. Talking about the Last Waltz, I wouldn't mind Levon Helm being added to the line up.

With Larry Campbell of course...

Ok, now I'm pissed about this SEE tickets outlet. This is the email I received

x that shit, if I ordered thru Ticketbastard or any other outlet I would already have the tickets. Also doesnt mention the camping pass. I hope I can just get a refund.

I called and she sd I can pick up the pass and the tickets friday night, so we'll see how that goes... just dont like booking flights, etc...and not having tickets in hand

Hey friends. I live in London and I'm definitely going to this (Saturday only). I'm planning to leave by train from Charing Cross or London Bridge early in the morning, so if someone wants to join, send me a pm

A colleague who manages events catering has told me several franchises have withdrawn from this festival due to lack of payments upfront. Ominous indeed...

He will play 90 minutes if you are lucky, I have matured emotionally as well as intellectually hence the reason for my non-attendance.

I do hope it isn't the local beer-providers!

I don't understand. Do you mean the little food vans and stalls at these festivals have not been paid by the festival organisers? I always assumed they had to pay the festival people to have a stall there. I've never been so confused.

What! You will miss all the other good acts too. I think you have made a grave error not getting tickets for this festival. And you know it..

Please Pete Doherty, dont overdose before the show! I'm not worried about Bob Dylan showing up

I got tickets for my birthday. looking forward to seeing dylan for the fourth time (around)

Good stuff. Are you going for just the day or both days?

I don't think he will, Lisa. I reckon Pete Doherty likes Bob-- he won't want to miss playing at the same fesitival as him.

So, what are the odds of Van staying overnight and duetting with Bob? And if so, what song? (Last time I saw Van he helicopted on out of there before the applause stopped).
