Gloucestershire, south of Birmingham (get your atlas out).  Let me know if you are going, and we could meet up....I'll almost certainly be with my Bro In Law and his brother.

the only yearly festival in Poland is Metalmania with Anathema, Moonspel and Tiamat playing almost every year

Mystic Festival is a very specific festival - but I`ve been there and I don`t regret it! But I would rather see DT in Poznan or Procupine Tree in Krakow or PoS in Krakow...

Me and my wife are planning our first visit to the UK(for 2 weeks) in June.

So I think we will be a little bit too late for the festival.

hang on a minute....you told me that your wife wore the pants in the relationship, and you weren't sure whether she'd let you out for the weekend....

 

(yeah, course the bed's still yours if you are coming out to play!!!)
