Thank you all for the info about the taxis and the trams. I think you can also get a ticket that will cover several days which may even be more cost effective as we are up there from Friday to Monday. The trams are wonderful. No scratched grafitti on the windows like the buses down here. But then again they do have a driver AND a conductor.

Really looking forward to seeing Crucible for the first time. I recall doing a review of their (first?) album for the late "What's On Folks? (Kent)" magazine. a few years ago.

And others like Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies, Last Night's Fun and Steve Tilston who are firm favourites should make it a great festival. Not forgetting the ritual dancing. the singarounds and the beer of course :-)
