Hmmm.........all sounds great in theory but, and don't want to sound too negative here, I can imagine it being the police's worse nightmare as far as drugs/crime/excessive drunkeness/traffic accidents/drug dealers with guns etc go. On the positive side then it will boost the local ecomomy for a week or so each year. Personally, I wouldn't go near it with a barge-pole, too many pissed up kids/baffoons, recipe for trouble, regardless of what the organisers say.

More details at the bottom of the article as well as a separate link to the event web site. Pete :cheers:

EDIT: That event site link is printed incorrectly. This one works.

If there is constant rain, 2 feet of mud and a row of stinking, overflowing portable toilets, then it will be just like the Glastonbury festivals I went to. :cry:
I've lost my mind and I am making no effort to find it.

A way of minimising Police cover perhaps they will use bikers to do the job instead?? :wink: UK style

Any idea if the act "T Bone" is Thai or from the USA.
Reason for asking is that we met a guy called T-Bone who is a keyboard player in Perth who 2 weeks ago who is a member of currently touring Al Green's band. Went to see the concert at Perth Zoo and was out of this world.
Saw Al Green in the UK in the mid/late 70's and this man has lost none of his talent or class.

No idea Chelsea but I tend to think he's the Thai version. I'll try to find out. Pete :cheers:

Like the comment about personal hygeine at foreign events. Can still remember people sitting as far away from us as possible on the train after 5 days at the Treworgy tree fayre. Don't remember mush else as we pitched the tents next to a stall that made pineapple wine and a scrumpy tent.
