Re: Band News!!

["gordon" <dwilhelmi@ti...co.uk>]

  Wo ! Yet another Festival I've never heard of before. Looks good. I lived
around Pompey some years ago, and Wickham was just about my favorite bolt
hole at the time.

  Ever tried Saul ? Swarb played it this year, and another eagerly awaited
moment will be him walking back on to the Cropredy Stage this year.

  I live in hope that Gerrard will take something there one year. You know,
team up with Keary, do some of the ethnic stuff from the back catalogue.

  Ah well !

  PS Great story about the Banksy artwork.Enigmatic site though.
