Looking at line ups from previous year i take it there are about another 40 bands to be announced?

Also does anyone have a contact e mail that will definetly get a reply as i have a query about the caravan parking area.

[Red Day]

What advert do you mean?

[Da_J_Doc-~]

It was the full page ad in the seven day mag in last weeks Sunday Mail.

How many sleeps now ????

[Red Day]

Ahh , Jill G is fair excited

Humph!

Mr G was being quite grumpy about paying 80 quid to go and see 1 band - not taking into account that his wife and kids would have a ball, whoever was playing Bella - but he's starting to cheer up with the recent announcments, particularly the Lemonheads.

[Red Day]

Take it he's now too old to rejoin the boys at T

hi

looking forward to bella - been to many festivals but none in this country since about 1986!!!!!!

now decided to take kids to their first festival - they are 9 & 10 & we are all looking forwards massively to it.

Trust it's as good as you guys all say it is!!!

Love the mix of music but unlike some earlier contributors - am not too bothered because almost without exception the best music i've heard at festivals has been from bands i've never heard of. but looking forward to waterboys who i saw at glasgow barrowlands in 1984 & were awesome. I'm a bit sceptical about reunions/bands trundling on for years & years but...

Looking forward to it all

praying for a stiff breeze to keep midges at bay

cheery

[rollergirl]

Me too, although we are staying in Inverness for the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in a lovely hotel.

[Da_J_Doc-~]

Ooooo that'll be nice, making a holiday out of it and what better way to end it

[stevieg72]

Are there many more bands still to be announced, or is that the line up complete

[stevieg72]

I would hope there are still a few to be announced.

[Helzibob]

Will just have to wait and see, I am hopeful of a few main stage additions over the 2 days.

Any idea how ticket sales have been?

Perhaps low sales may entice a nice surprise act to be added!

[Paul ™]

No idea but I hear it advertised on Radio Clyde every morning on the way to work... take from that what you can.

Can't wait for this now.

Line-up looks like a good mix for me. Plenty of bands I've never heard of and a few favourites as well.

Idlewild

Cage The Elephant

The Holloways

Sergeant &

The Long Blondes

are what I am looking forward to most. Got a feeling the friends I am going with would all rather see Scouting For Girls though than Idlewild (I am presuming they will be on at the same time?). If that's the case I will be going solo to Idlewild (even though I think I have seen them too many times already!) then meeting them afterwards.

Not long to go now. Here's hoping we hear Sergeant singing 'Sunshine' in the sunshine!
