I thought that there were not tiers last year, with the limited release…maybe a false memory.

Excellent news

Fwiw, I think this is an excellent lineup.  Many congratulations to all involved in booking it.  I'm moderately tempted.

Now the Brook Bell site is playing silly buggers.

Mr Digance appears to be an absentee, after appearing for free last year.

Brook Bell Tents were accepting orders from 10:00, so got my glamping early.

AXS sent me round and round in circles (you are at the top of the queue / your session has expired) but eventually condescended to sell me 2 tickets.

Especially looking forward to Spooky Men, Le Vent Du Nord and RT. Soft Machine not so much.

Won't feel quite the same without Richard Digance - anybody know why he's not playing?

I eventually got my ticket, after several attempts - for some reason it didn't like my credit card - but eventually paid through Paypal and that seems to have worked.

Not the best line-up I've ever seen, but not the worst either. A number of acts I don't know, but experience says that there will be at least some I really enjoy.  Looking forward in particular to Le Vent Du Nord again, Banter, the Spooky Men and of course RT.

I can't get through on the website and the AXS site is sending me round in circles... I'll leave it for now

Couldn't get to the Tickets page on the Fairport website, but got admission tickets via the AXS app and Glamping via www.brookbelltents.co.uk

================================

My comment...Great to see Turin Brakes back (but they should headline over La Vent du Nord).Gerry Colvin is always fun . RT never gives a bad gig. Loved Hayseed Dixie last time out. Breabach good . No sign of Richard Digance.??  

Overall , a good list but nothing spectacular .
