Just heard from the Durbervilles that they're going to have to pull out. A real shame - they're a top band. Not their fault either so I can't even vent my spleen at 'em!

The line-up and cause are still as strong as ever (as is the beer being specially prepared for the festival - an 8% pale ale. Phew!), so it would be good to see you there.

By the way camping is still available just 5 minutes walk from the pub. If you could book it in advance, it would be really helpful!
