Stan, it moves every year or two years. For the last two years it was in Ampthill, Bedfordshire and the nearest it has been to you was in 2001 when I ran it in Todmorden.

There's every chance of it moving nearer to you at some time in the future but your best bet is to service the camper van and get it down to Essex this June.

I've organised for the Thames sailing barge that we charter for our annual sailing holiday to be at this years festival and we'll be having some sessions on it during the weekend before sailing off at the end of the festival for a week long trip (featuring even more session music).
