I only intended to be there on the Saturday......... got home in the wee small hours of Sunday........slept for oh....about 2 hours......... got up, made coffee......... looked at the agenda for Sunday.........and we blinkin well went back it was so good!!!   Stephen & Huw did a remarkable job! I met some lovely people........... and one or two less lovely (but funny none-the-less People!) Pleased to report that Sigod was in the first category!!! (thanks for not letting on that I am more of an old crone than a chick!)   I got a pile of new cd's to play, I got to see PRR (I must admit to have done some nagging about that!) and some lovely ..er..........."things" which I bought from the delightful hippies in the corner! I have seen grumbles about sound/smoke/bands/merch/bum wiping facilities etc etc on other forums....... and I think some folk are just the sort to like a blinkin good moan and forget all the excellent points of a weekend! Personally I think it was TOP STUFF! (and some folk are just down right mean...)   So I managed to see 9 of the 12 bands in two days, and I think this festival has serious legs....I thoroughly recommend it to anyone with the stamina for next years fest!!!   Hello to all of you I met, and bar-hoo-sucks to those of you who stayed home! (apart from Geck0 who wanted to go but had car trubbs..........poor s*d!)     Prog-Chick

Likewise Prog Chick, it was great meeting you too (and indeed a big shout of 'huzzah!' to all the band members who took time out to have a natter).

Yes, I've had car problems for quite some time, so I hope to rectify this soon!  I could have seriously slept in the car too (I'm just that kind of guy!).

Well hopefully they'll put on another next year and I hope to have my car sorted by then.

Lambie, is it likely to go ahead next year?  I would love it if it did.  Obviously it depends on who wants to play, but the more recognition it gets, the more bands I'm sure would like to play.

You need more RIO/Avant-Prog bands though, too much symphonic.

On behalf of Huw and myself (I was the co-organiser and the other bloke doing the band intros - oh, and the Sonicbond bloke), thanks to everyone who came - it was an amazing weekend, and I haven't really come down yet!

It's getting exciting here too............. really looking forward to this! I have just popped 4 loaves of dough into the airing cupboard so there is enough bread at breakfast time for all the folk who seem to be crashing at our place tonight............. 'cos I think in the morning we're having us a convoy!!!

You are all so lucky. The only grand musical event around here is a collection of crap called "Festival de Viña". The rest is local bands with low experience and half done artistry. Back in school, I remember reading something about Art history. The book was almost exclusively about the 40 years delay between the vanguardist plastic movements and Chile. Plus, our last dictator killed Arts and Artists as well, so the state of development of many fields is naturally relegated to a state many levels bellow what you would call "Underground".

Have fun girls too. I should have written, girls and guys. Sorry !
