So sorry about that Stu! You see, when I say "check with the venue as the times WILL change again", I'm not lying! You would have had to check about 2 hours before the set mind you, cos that's when I found out! Chai Wallah's have promised not to change my slots again this summer... we shall see!

hey Danni.. my pleasure! Glad you caught that totally last minute set!

Hey Rob... next year mate, next year... :)

Hey Danni,

I took the CD selling bit off the website while I went away, and haven't got round to putting it back yet! If you want one, just drop me an email and I'll sort it out... :)

Chai Wallahs (in main market area on the way to Main Stage) Weds 9:30pm Sun 8:45pm Small World (Green Futures field in Green Fields) Fri 2:45pm Sat 4:45pm The best bet is to go and check at the stages... if there's no printed lineup, just ask at the sound-desk...
