The line up for this year just keeps getting better, and better..

Keep up all the good work, and see you soon

Looking forward to this. The first time I've been since the wind nearly blew it away in 2008. Lets hope it's warmer than that year. Looks like it's had good weather for the last two so with a bit of luck the trend will continue.

John Parr, Nik Kershaw, Steve Harley, The Quoirboys, The Spinners - the line up just gets better and better

Most pleasant it was too, if a little draughty.

Saw some good bands. some great ones and the odd one that I couldn't last more than 2 minutes with. All in all - marvellous.

A few pics...

Nice photos. I'd hoped to go but never made it. One of the bands who played tell me they were well looked-after and found it very friendly. Sounds like it was a good weekend.
