Hey!

The festival is the 26th to the 28th and it's in Bramley Park. It's the Carling music festival, sister to the Reading festival, LEEDS IS NOT POO!!!!! details, tickets etc can be found at www.meanfiddler.com

Hope thats a help!

That'd be Bramham Park you mean

Opps! sorry!

I should know that too! (forgive me I'm dyslexic-(any excuse!))

I think I was thinking of the town called Bramley, or Bramley apples!

I'll be there! and seeking spinners out big time... i was a tad too drunk to do it last year, luckily had a sober friend who dragged me off and distracted me with regular poi...

we should meet and spin fo' shizzle

much love xjox

Tobi with info like that you'd think you worked with me!

Stil working on your Reading Tickets Tobi, have to Say Glasto is better than both!

Definately will be there! Just got my tickets.....

How are they on fire spinning or should I just take glow toys? I probably just take green glo poi and a glo staff if I can finish it...

So if you spot me come and say hello. Unfortunately I look like a standard rocker (tall, long hair, goatee... ) so I'll be hard to find unless spinning!

Hope to see some of you there.

I counted 5 people with fire poi last year, although I only saw spinning outside the areana, they're very strict in that they won't let bottles holding liquid into the arena unless the seal is intact so i don't think you could get away with taking any fuel in there (although they were pretty lax on the first day or so) but you can spin just outside it, people timed it so they were there when everyone was leaving it. If you can find enough space you can also spin near the campsite.

You can however take non-fire stuff in there, I'll probably take ribbon poi, glo poi (red and yellow) and glo-ropes (blue) (as well as fire poi-hopefully I'll have enough room to actually pack my tent!) On the sat I think it was, there was quite a large gathereing in the radio 1 tent, which looked quite impressive.

I'l probably be looking for people to meet up with because at the moment, unless I can persuade other people to come I'm going with a couple- and a couply couple at that so I need help to not have to play goosebury all weekend! Plus none of my spinning friends are going!


Hopefully see some of you there!

Sounds like fun...!
Not sure if i'll take fire but I'll certainly be looking out for people.

Hey everyone, buy youe tickets soon as they are nearly sold out!
