Summers End Prog Festival (Bilston, UK)

prog-chick wrote: I can concur that it was a blinkin MARVELLOUS weekend........... 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).
