Tim - how can anyone stay away from Saddleworth that long? You'll have to come and see us at the festival - lot of changes but still beautiful, and nice people! We stay well away from any yuppies, us born-and-bred-here-folks!

Eh, and it's never moved! I was born in Saddleworth and it says West Riding of Yorkshire on my birth certificate! So that makes me a Yorkshire lass, doesn't it? And I'm still here!

Yes, it's the Moor and Coast tent on the campsite, Guest M & C - they also run the bar in the Civic hall, with real ale, including a Festival Ale. The Tory Club and Waggon are decent bars too.

Not long now is it? I'm just sorting out artists for 2009 to go in the programme. And I've just been asked to do some MCing at Cleckheaton in the Town Hall, which should be brill! Hi Sue - how are you and the kids?
