About four years ago, the chip shop in the High Street was bought out abd is now a Chinese takeaway which doesn't open until late afternoon, when all the rapper teams are tucked up in bed.

Stevenage Rapper always made it their first stand - inside the old chip shop with little Billy Crawford doing the back somersault in absolutely no room! The best they could manage in 2006 was a stand outside the library. Another of their venues used to be the Morton's Fork, but I understand that its landlord didn't want the Festival so that's no longer used. Stevenage may probably best be seen inside the crowded Boat later in the day.
