Live In Delamere Forest - Moved from Announcements

I know. but for alcohol?

And I'm guessing you're not allowed already opened bottles?

I wouldn't worry too much, it's just standard stupid rules they have at all these kind of things, festivals, etc so you'll spend money in their bar. At least you are allowed take stuff in there no matter how small the container

Out of interest, how long did it take for your tickets to arrive? I'm still waiting for mine, bleeding post is pants round here!

They came a couple of days after I ordered them.

Hope you get yours ok...!

My ticket came quickly too.

Regarding the bottles, don't bank on common sense here. At the Birmingham Academy they took a small plastic bottle of water from me as I went in, but said I could get a (plastic) glass of water free at the bar! Which I did (then spilt what was left all over the floor during One Day Like This). Where's the sense in that?
They also took an apple and threw it in the bin! Must have been because of the nitro I'd stuffed it with.

No ticket yet for me, but I think that's because I used TicketMaster instead of going straight to the Forestry Commission.

Hope yours arrive soon MagicalTrevor, did order these from Forestry Commission and they've arrived this morning, was beginning to wonder

There is no sense in it Glendarian, maybe they were more bothered you'd turn it into scrumpy lol. Had bottles of water taken off me too (Leeds festival), it is a big con isn't it. I'm hoping though that Delamere is going to be a bit less uptight. The venue details says to bring your own chairs/rugs and you can bring a picnic (adhering to strict rules on containers haha) doesnt it?

Nice one! Perhaps I should find the right sized *plastic* containers for some hops & malt for Delamere, hehe.

Lol. I like you're thinking, got some brewers yeast somewhere, will pack some in my 'picnic basket'

Hi all, i've just registered on the forum

I'm glad you said that Trevor, i'd been wondering where my tickets are but i also went through Ticket Master, so that probably explains it.

I'm so looking forward to it!

I Am Kloot are the support band.

I urge you all to make sure you see them too, amazing band!

I Am Kloot

Delighted!

Are they the only support?

You've made my day (especially after the wonderful IAK gig last night). Two of my top favourite bands in one pretty forest. Can't beat it

It's kinda typical of my luck that while they tour I can't go to any gigs due to the fact i'm going to be on crutches until at least August!

Grrrr!

Tickets arrived today! Yay!

Any plans afoot for a forum meet up?

I'm up for it - my 'companion' pulled out yesterday

Is there a 2nd support act playing? Doors are at 6:00 but Kloot aren't on til 7:40.

Yeah a meet up sounds good, anybody got any ideas on how to find each other?

Just checking about a possible meet-up (it's been a busy week so haven't been around here much - looking forward to relaxing in the forest tonight!) - well if there are no definite plans (I haven't a clue about the venue, so can't suggest anything except there must be a bar :-)), I hope I see some of you there - if not enjoy the gig! (& see you here afterwards)

Same here, don't know the venue either so I hope to see you there unless somebody's got any ideas on how to do this. Maybe for next time we should have lolcat badges or something to identify each other

Hehe, lolcats would be a good one. See "Viz" thread (*off to seek out Roger Mellie T-shirt*)

Meet me by the mixing desk, I'll be wearing a buttonhole and a bowler hat, and a copy of The Times under my left arm

Not sure if we'll be able to meet up but I'm sure we'll all have fun and report back here tomorrow with tales and photos etc.

OK just got back, I have three words...

Awesome (which is a word I never use) and...

Mantra Luna

Mantra Luna, what an amazing gig!
