The Hob gob feat in Wadebridge certainly had a very fresh appearance this year again inc Reg Neurosis[a poor joke so calm down one and all]

In my belief its not a 'network ' as such but organisers do tend to book familiar names from year to year and its their choice and probably they know what works best and it is their fest so butt out.

Quality will will rise , eventually, one hopes, but not always.
