Anyone going? I see the young angry singer songwriter Grace Petrie (who was also interviewed for the R4 prog.) will be there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjuGVfhzh08 |

Always full of a good range of acts from a variety of genres. If you go come to the NASUWT stand and say hello. Leadfingers - it's now run by S W TUC and the format has changed considerably. Nigel Costly is the guy who does the bookings and he books 2 years ahead now. |
