Aah think you're dead right aboot The Little Albion!

Although it's closest to the campsite, it IS off the beaten track and subsequently suffers from a lack of festival custom. In past BFW's they have had some canny bands in there but with no festival punters as people think it's aall happenin' doon the toon!

It's not just the festival though - They have their own clientel (?) on certain days and DO have live bands on weekly at weekends. They also tend to get a lot of young foreign language students who start their evening out in there and then move on -

However, as we found out tonight (to our cost) the Sunday afternoon music sessions are NOT doin' so well and have been cancelled.

Aaron and Charley ARE a delightful young couple and are the latest in a LONG line of managers over the past five years - They're deein' a wonderful job and aah think that if they were approached aboot havin' a series of sessions rather than planned bands then they'd be up for it.

Bear in mind though that it IS in the middle of a residential area.

Ye DO need te make people aware that the place is there - Ten minutes from the campsite and a lovely atmosphere - but people cannit make their minds up whether it's in Brpoadstairs or St Peter's, and it's not St Peter's Folk Week, is it?.

Aah divven' knaah what BFW charges the pubs to have bands in (and it's nairn o' my business anyway!) so aah've nee idea if Aaron & Charley have been approached and declined, but if yez turned up at The Little Albion and wanted te sing, aah'm sure ye'd be welcome with open arms - Just tell them The Phatt-B'Stards sent yez!!!
