Thanks for that, I'll try to keep an ear out for them.QUOTE]
Did you catch them?
No
they were on at 18:30 on the Saturday, and I was with friends by our tents, shovelling BBQ'd rib eye steaks and lamb (and WKD blue) into my gaping maw....but some of the music scheduling was very ropey (Bad Manners headlining Saturday preceded by a Sex Pistols tribute, GnR, AC/DC & Led Zep tributes ( latter 2 I really wanted to see) all on on Thursday, playing away as we set up our tents near the timing boards.
Security was a bad joke with worse attitude (bring back the patches with prospects in scaffold towers), and there was an air of the HA not trying (loads of stalls didn't turn up, even the Stolen Tool Co. was nothing special ( camping gear stall & pizza bus were both missing), and for £70 on the gate you'd expect a lot more.
The only usp I can see is the strip & rwyb, and the weather was perfect for it, but if you're not into that or it pisses down, you'd feel bloody short changed.
