Me & Anjie might come to that!

Would be great to see you two there!

They'll also be a one or two others from Pressure Drop at the festival. Charlie & Andy will both be there and possibly Digger. Should be a good day out if the weather is anything like the last 2 days.

I've just heard that the bnp aren't happy about this event and have been handing out leaflets about it (see message below).




'The BNP have put out a leaflet campaigning against our event on Sun. It's 2 sides of A4 and quite nasty stuff. "Hope not Hate nutters" paving the way to flood Ferryhill with Muslims etc. We're hoping to get some press coverage exposing them out of it, but it raises concerns as to whether they may look to disrupt the day.

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come down, it was great to see you there and all in aid of a worthwhile cause. It was also great been back on stage again after a 6 month break. I hope it's not that long before our next gig!

Here's a few pics from the festival.
