Bearded Theory 2009

[greenfairy43]

Hi, Just to advise we have linked with Padley Day Centre with this. The homeless hostel in Derby. They will pick 10 volunteers who they feel would be best suited for the task and the ones who would enjoy the experience as a whole. They will be supervised, fed and given beer money for the weekend at the end of the shifts. Following them working and if we are happy, I will be writing them a reference stating the work they had done so they can take it to future employers.

I totally understand the concern mate as I had it at the start of my little idea

Now that's what I call taking the festival experience to a hard to reach 'community' AND involving a 'community' that wouldn't usually be able to get involved. I tip my hat in the direction of everyone involved in this decision.

I had spotted that the other day & got nods of approval from me.

Although as afterthought AND PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY.

"HOMELESS COMMUNITY"

- Traveller folk of the festival type is cool.

- Homeless people that have lived on the street & perhaps in half way houses now, that is ok too.

- Pikey thieving bastards? Now that would NOT be cool.

Food for thought & like I said "PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY"

I wont take it the wrong way at all I understand your concerns. But Id be made up if you could manage not to use the word

pikey

please

[William of Walworth]

Atilla yeah!

He's the biz ...

And will drink with friendly folks. He's a star.

[Harrow Strongbow Ciderman!]

...In other news, it would seem that the sardonically amusing Attilla The Stockbroker has been added to the 2009 line-up.

[timespeedsup]

Where did you get that info from? Link please for news of Atilla or news of line-up please post it.

Yep, very entertaining. We caught him at Glasto this year in the Caberet field (I think, just after seeing Alabama3 on Jazzworld)

I have fond recollection of Attilla's set, but was laying on my back, with my eyes closed for most of it! Very mellow while taking in his poetic rantings.

[timespeedsup]

Atilla announced on the fest's own forum.

& he was betwixt Hobo & A3 at Glasto. <takes off glasses>

When is the first line-up announcement anyway? and who are the confirmed runners and riders so far?

[William of Walworth]

Same trick sees Tofu Love Frogs and Eddie & The Hot Rods added for 2009.

Which nice but not a loin-stirrer personally, but TLF will please certain people....

[Px.]

He was great at Sugarhill 07. Hmmmmm, could grow my own beard in time for this?!

[eFestivals]

Hi mate, his listing comes in as "Neville Staples e specials" as what they would like him to be advertised as.

you sure?? He put something on his website a year or two back saying he'd cancel any gig that used the Specials name with his, he just wanted to be "Neville Staple" and nothing else.
