I'll be popping along tomorrow night. I like to support local events and this one is always a good one.

We went yesterday all day, it was a brilliant day, cherry bomb, crush, TFL, the bluetones,the snow byrds and no boundaries where all excellent, today only crush are on out of those lot, but they are on pretty late in the day, i have an official programme if anyone wants to come and get it on the way to Darwen, but they are only 50p anyway, a word of warning, you cant take your own alcohol in anywhere, they check your bags, you arent allowed to take cans of pop in either, you can only take bottles of pop in if the bottle is new and unopened, they are selling beer in a beer tent in the main stage area (the bus station) £2.50 for a pint of fosters, they have that and john smiths and cans of guiness for an exstortionate(sp?) price, i think they have bottles of wkd and cider on draught too, these are served in plastic pint cup things, all in all it was a really good day, you'll all enjoy it for those of you who are going....have a good un :D


oh by the way, the co-op is open on the bus station, so you can buy munchies and stuff from there at a decent price :D and there is a cafe on the bus station that does decent enough meals at decent prices too :D

I went last night, it was fantastic! Saw a few bands in different pubs, then went to watch The Men Who Couldn't Hang on the main stage, they were brilliant! But it got way to cold so went back round the pubs, it got very messy later on..lol but still fantastic night had by all!
