As much as I would love to be there - It's too expensive for me all in all together!

But it's good they play on Festivals.

I'm looking forward to the T-shirt gig at the end of the year. wink

Still £115.00 is £115.00, and I suspect most people will only want to see John and Louis frown
I agree though, for a whole weekend event the price is not so bad. There are other good acts on too!!

The difficulty with this is that the Isle of Wight is one of the most expensive places to get to.
A ferry from Southampton will cost upwards of £40 with a car, (£55 from Portsmouth) and on foot for the day it will be at least £10.
Accommodation is another problem...

Some coordination between us will be required.

I am very, very fortunate that this is on my doorstep. laugh
And in fact the venue is probably only an hour walk from the ferry in Cowes.

And Robin Hill has red squirrels. cool

It's good to see John playing a festival. Something like this will surely win him new fans, young and old - including people who have gone there to watch acts that he inspired!

I agree with you Alex
Although most fans on this forum would find the Bestival too expensive there are those who love these weekend parties and I'm sure John will win over a few more fans and hearts.

Peter

Really looking forward to hearing more about when and where the Metamatic set will be performed - as Bestival is well beyond my means.

There's some really interesting people and bands set to play on the bill (noticed that Jah Wobble and 'SKA Cubano' are also there over the weekend) - it might just be the festival to go to...

How about it EG?

I'm making my plans to get to this gig.

Just thought I'd pass on to anyone else interested that the LAST BOAT back to Southampton on Friday night is at 10.30pm as far as I can see.
This could be a source of some inconvenience...
