Help-knew there was something I'd forgotten.

I suppose going to Bearded Theory without a beard is a bit of a faux pas, so I'll bring one, but like the traditional wearing of the hat from a cracker at Christmas dinner, I'll wear it for the minimum acceptable time.

[timespeedsup]

Erm, beard?

[AnnaGrant]

I'll get my kaftan out of the dressing up box. No joke.

[SharonStoned]

Are we nearly there yet? Are we? Are we?

[AnnaGrant]

Have people received their tickets yet?

I bought through the Bearded Theory shop, and the money went out of my account on 15 Feb, but I haven't had my ticket yet.

Just had a mad panic as I couldn't remember who I bought my tix off, or even buying them (meep) .... but I've found the mail. Phew.

Don't know what the weather is like for all you folk, but its gorgeous here in sunny Sheffield-rumours of 19 degrees. If it is like this at the end of May I will be one happy bunny.

Its nice and sunny between Sheffield and Newcastle as well and as I now have two festivals before Bearded to go to it would be nice if it continues.

Out of interest, does anyone know if the line up's complete - or can we expect any last minute additions?

[Perks]

I asked this on the Bearded theory website, as the King Blues are rumoured on here, Havent had much response back yet though. Someone did say they didnt think so, it may just be that efest havent removed the King Blues.......interesting though. I am happy with the line up though to be fair - its already awesome....I was just being greedy wanting more!!

[5co77ie]

it's a rumour that's unlikely to happen this year, it's been there since last august - so now removed.

Saw Chumbawamba at Glastonbury on the Avalon stage. Fantastic show, with the between songs banter as entertaining as the songs. My 14 year old thought they were ace too. Check out the song about Metallica's lead singer, James Hadfield?Hetfield?

[eFestivals]

the Chumbas only do acoustic sets nowadays, which are still good but not a patch on the full electric experiences of old. Pleasingly they still squeeze some of the best numbers in.

Yes, that's the one Flip.

Now I can't get it out of my head (as Kylie so memorably said).

Listened to some Terrorvision and Dreadzone on the Bearded Theory FB site this afternoon. Will sound soooo good in the open air + beer.

I used to have a mate a few years back that was always saying 'next time Chumbawumba play near here you have to come along - but it never happened! For this reason, I think we'll have to check 'em out, in spite of the fact that I know they only play accoustic - and I've read - but maybe this is just a rumour - that their set is mostly made up of sea shanties ....... ?
