Bearded Theory 2011

No Clive, both bands are known on Sunday and have been round a while. I would say the second biller would be bigger stature thats all. However the headliner has been put in that position for the feel good vibe they create - they have an electric live show.

Any chance of Mackintosh Ross (ex Deacon Blue) missed them at Glastonbury last year.

does that mean the second last band will be a pure downer? Like interpol or editors ilk, and have us crying into our pints?

[Rich BT]

By no means - Sunday will be dancetastic.

With big smiley faces cos of mancy bands?

[theampersanddevil]

would love mogwai. But for singalonga fun can i suggest bluetones?

[timespeedsup]

Are you thinkin some sort of state of mind?

[llcoolphil]

Lost me there. Is that a lyric?

[timespeedsup]

I was pissed when I wrote it have no notion what I was referring to! I'll let you know next time I get pissed and it comes back to me

[stutheblue]

Squeeze for headliner? Possibly too expensive.

Rich, do you mind me randomly putting out thoughts for headliners? I know you asked a few days ago, but if I'm being a pain in the arse or way off mark, just let me know, I have thick skin.

[Rich BT]

Not at all mate - carry on.

I think Squeeze would be out of our league in honesty. Beautiful Days are 4 times the size of BT and they headlined their recently. The best way to see who is affordable is by looking at other festivals of a similar size to us and ones that charge a similar price also.

I take that point in general, but they had Hawkwind the same year as you. Case of very well played BT, that one?

Also, given your point, a reminder that SFA should be in your price range

A few reasons for that more notibly an advertising restriction and us pulling off a good deal. We have kind of used all our favours now and agents are seeing BT under a different light with prices being quite a bit higher than last year. An example is a band we approached for the 2010 festival but didnt confirm has added 3k onto their price when we called the agent recently.
