Bearded Theory Festival 2017

[Perks]

Love that post Sparky,

First year for us was 2012, Glastonbury fallow year. Me and me buddy looking for a decent alternative. I saw Levs were playing this, jumped on it, they actually didn't play that year, Jon fiddle player broke his finger, replaced by Adam Ant. We've never looked back since. It's a beautiful festival, we met so many lovely people, danced, chatted, hung around with decent like minded folk. Couldn't wait to get back, now it's a must go to every year. Can't wait. See y'all there :-)

Might need plenty of sun cream if this forecast pulls through, although the sunday could be a problem.

A danger of wandering into the deranged territory of the Glasto weather watchers here, but with less than a week to go this seems ruddy marvellous. The significance here is not just the temperatures, which are frankly absurd, but that the good weather extends either side of the festival, so it isn't even a window that has to hit just right.

What I also realised that I am genuinely too superstitious to unpack my raincoat and wellies, despite them adding considerably to my burden, for fear of tempting providence.

I guess that scratch beneath the surface and we are all NFRNFC nutters under the skin.

Invested in a new storm jacket at the weekend ready for this years festival season so you can all thank me when it's glorious sunshine.

Great weather and a super time was had last year, hoping for a repeat.

Me too. Got a nice big smile on the train rather than the usual Monday morning frown. Also got a lovely bar gathering in the front room. 3 work days to go. Can't imagine I'll be doing too much work. Gotta do some lists for what else I need, that's my first job of the day.

Roll on Thursday

Yes i know, i got one from Mountain Warehouse as well  after seeing your posts and remembering how cold it was at night last year.

Looking ace Paul!

Biggest worry now is do I need a higher factor suncream than the one I have.

[Gnomicide]

May have just cursed it.

[Pinhead]

Need to get my shit together and pack! Loving the weather reports....!

[Pinhead]

Any eFests meets planned on site this year?

[sparkythetortoise]

Some fella called Hayfield is doing some major rejigging of my clashfinder. All looks a bit weird to me - includes a 12 o'clock shut down of Magical Sounds, which is fine by me, but not what they say. He either knows something in a major inner loop kind of way, or is as mad as a box of frogs. I can't fathom which.

Do I go with the flow or revert?

I just can't decide - are you out there, Hayfield? Where are you getting your info?

Saturday evening now showing as having a 'light shower'.

They need to put a stop to that.

What have you done...

[tjamest]

A quick look at a selection of weather sites for Saturday suggests that some think it will be fine, some think there may be a little bit of rain at various times and other think there is a possibility of thunder storms. Take your pick
