I have no doubt that Alan and Sandra will be reading this (Hi) and accommodating what they can into next year's programme.

To be honest - I don't think they realised how big a draw Louden would be. And the line-up in general was strong without him.

As long as they made enough money to continue it will be a success.

FWIW I think more proper cider is called for. None by Sunday night for sure. AND Woodpecker and Strongbow are not cider. Legally you have to declare the ingredients and cider is a legally defined ingredient. So are artificial sugars and sweeteners (it says so on the can) - they give you headaches (and they don't tell you that on the can).

Scrumpy Jack is OK (also made by Bulmers) - it is cheaper and does not bragg about any artificial crap. But if it is request time - Thatchers "Harvester".
