PLAY Festival 2006....a venue?

Hello

I hope you're all eagerly awaiting news about PLAY 2006, well so are we! We're having troube finding a venue that meets our requirements, primarilly

a) Is cheap enough to keep ticket price down
b) Is in (or roughly in) the Midlands
c) Isn't just an empty field

Sounds simple you may say, but alas not so far. If anyone knows of any decent venues can you let us know here? Did you go to a little festival last Summer in a nice quiet tucked away place in the countryside somewhere perhaps? Did it have anything like running water etc?

If you can think of anywhere please post whatever details you have, or send a pm to me instead if you fancy

Thanks!

waiting very eagerly...

would it be cheaper to get a field and hire loo's etc? or does that provide more hassle/cost than it's worth?

how big do you want this place to be?
for searching purposes.

or find a fairly basic campsite in the middle of nowehere i.e.montford bridge or wem and offer to buy them out in pitches for a weekend,if they're only charging a couple of quid a pitch per night and you promise a couple of hundred folks they might do a decent deal.ticket prices hopefully wouldnt be too high either then,
both those sites are remote but have loos and water, might be worth a look.

Dublin is quite nice

We already have parted ways, it'll be just people who play in 2006

*waits eagerly*

Dunc are you still planning to hold it over the redundant glastonbury weekend? just coz I know some people have to book their holidays from work well in advance and as I'm starting a new job I can state if I have previously booked holiday.

I had great fun last time and wouldn't want to miss the next.

If I miss this one aswell, I might actually break down and cry.

Could you not ask Michael if we could use his land..... I mean its not as if he has anything on that weekend this year

yeah yeah yeah, wouldnt miss it for the world, last year was ace.

We actually considered approaching Mr Eavis seeing as I'm aparently his secret love child but we haven't.

Yes it will still be on the last weekend in June while Glasto is on it's Fallow Year
