    Does that include the 2 dayer EOTW at the FBI where for once the sun shone all weekend? One of the best weekends of my life.....

    In mitigation Mr Bruce de Wert said his client had been drinking and could remember little of the incident.

    Cullbucket,
    Yes, I was at that one also. It wasn't an EOTW event - just the same production/supply company providing the marquees, PA, stage, lights, security etc.

    The weather is always a critical element to this sort of events success. (Unless you have the pure grunt/draw of the likes of T-in-the Park or Glastonbury etc!!)

    Dragon,
    You have to accept that the weather can play no part in any aspect of your mental planning. Just prepare for the worst case scenario logistically/ financially.

    If your lucky (and global warming may be on your side here!!) and you get great weather, it will likely be the best event possible, crowds will flock to your event and you'll feel like a hero.

    You have to have a positive attitude and VERY thick skin.

    ive notsed by the line up that you have older bands and younger bands...

    in my opinion this is a rather bad idea for the older bands will have a bigger followings to younger but having the more experinced on stage all together is goin to bring a better crowd to ass having younger less experinced is not going to have as much.

    I feel that it should be re arranged so u have older and younger * age maby not just expeirnced * mixed up!

    seems rather unfair in my eyes

    friday for younger saturday for older.

    i repeat...

    friday for younger bands, giving them a chance to play in a enviroment not normally given up here. friday in a sense is a warm up night too, but im giving the youth of thurso there night to shine.

    saturday for the older groups.

    Just wear stilts, cover yerself in tire rubber, and play bass out of tune, and you'll make a convincing Reevalike

    U also have to waffle on as much as possible in between songs to become a true Reevalike. Just heard a live recording of us from our last viewfirth gig in december 2005 and our drummers count in was interrupted several times thanks to reevs waffling lol.
