Thanks for mentioning Warwick. We're probably going to give the post-Towersey fest a miss this year and I haven't seen RT in ages. And glamping in the Knight's Village looks fun.  

Good, hope it all works out for them again this year!

Anyone planning to go to Calan's farewell gig at the Acapela in Pentyrch?

At their own admission it took until Apr last year to sell 6k tickets.  I can't imagine they're panicking if they're 80+% of the way there already.  And, again, as they've already said, they may well consider selling more tickets once that figure is reached.

Doesn't sound good since only around 6K were for sale in the first place.  I wonder what the minimum required sales are, for it to be viable.

And Richard Thompson is headlining

I read somewhere recently that there are still over a thousand tickets left for Cropredy. So anyone who has put off purchasing till after Xmas can still get in there!
