Yes Bob and Ray the change of date has had the predictable consequence that there would be a clash with other events - in this case with Saddleworth. I gather that Hissyfit were due to perfom at Hull but when the date was changed it clashed with their prior booking at Saddleworth: a shame for all of us.

But on to dealing with what is to be: last year there was, by repute, a tremendous singaround at the White Hart on the Friday night before the festival which I found out about too late to attend. Does anyone know whether that, or similar, has been organised this year or do we have to await spontanous combustion?
