[…] The Slaves also transitioned to the bigger stage with remarkable ease, playing a fantastic set at the Forum. At the time, I thought that would be the last time I’d catch them, as I’m not a fan of the bigger venues, but more on that later. […]

In reply to Paul Hudson. I'm not taking it personally. Your blog was less damning of the festival than last year. I have seen it 2 years now and thought it was very good. We get very few bookings each year so we were very grateful to get through the application process twice. I can say they do listen to the applicants.

In reply to Richard Staines. Hi, I know of other bands who've applied over a number of years and never got a look in. I know many people share my view that the festival keeps rehashing the same music. So sorry if you feel I'm criticising you personally. But that stage every year features bands and individuals who've played year in year out. I've obviously confused you. I thought I saw your band tagged on my Flickr with three different years. But you did play last year. My point is that there's more than enough music that fits the 'ROTW' bill for them not to rehash bands.

Maharaja Blues – 2nd time of playing. 1st time was last year. We applied by email and Chris, the compere picked up the application by email. Nice to get an okay from you at least I guess. I like the festival very much. We travelled up from Wales for the weekend, brother in law and his family from Essex. We can let the kids go around v.safely without worries. Most of the music we enjoyed as a family. No doubt it depends on what you like musically, and my tastes differ from yours. I personally relaxed to Los Pacaminos and just loved Raghu Dixit, right up my street.

Hi Paul, I’ve just chanced upon your photo’s from a link off the British Sea Power newsletter I receive. Loved your photo’s from that gig. Also great photo’s from Primavera. I attended this festival myself and I’m actually the tall person in the Ride photo! Regards Gary.
