Got my ticket too Mr(Ms?) Cringe.

Very much looking forward to it; dragging me Mum along. Really looking forward to seeing Eliza Carthy live for the first time and T.van Eyken & Jackie Oates for the umpteenth time (although I really wouldn't want to single anyone out; it looks like a spiffing line up).

Not sold all the tickets then? Surprising.

Had mine for ages and looking forward to it. Hope Tim's throat infection has improved.

I'll be the one in the corner snuffling into my Vick's vapo-rub, chomping Fisherman's Friends and gobbling paracetomol...
