What's going to happen about the sunday headliner? Is there someone else lined up?

Y'know, just in case...

[Medina]

Our Sunday headliner, Rolf Harris, will still be appearing at Wickham as planned.

We spoke to Rolf's agent today (9th May) who confirmed the show goes ahead as does Rolf's show in Bristol next week which is a 3,000 sell-out.

It's good to see Rolf's fans staying loyal to him and we hope to see lots of them at Wickham in August.

[mr blue]

Good news Peter. Rolf went down a storm last time he played and I'd be disappointed not to see him again.

Really looking forward to seeing Dexys as well. I was at their very first gig in Birmingham in 1979 (I think)

[Medina]

You've been around a long time mr blue!

More artists just added to this year's Wickham line-up including Public Service Broadcasting who went down a storm at last weekend's Wychwood Festival

Well we have made it back home after a wonderful festival trip covering 3 music festivals and one beer and cider festival. The highlight as always was wonderful Wickham which just gets better and better every year.

Thanks again Peter and we look forward to you doing an even better festival again next year.

all the best the Manx Embassy Crew AKA those nutters in the big truck
