Field 8 deciding tomorrow. If they go ahead then I will go. Hope the Brasenose runs their fringe too. Maybe 3 Daft Monkeys wont travel up from Cornwall but Leatherat  and Spank the Monkey are local.

My Friend Nick asked what about the Villagers. Well by then all lockdown and Covid restrictions will have been lifted and I will do my bit for the village by spending at the Brasenose and Red Lion and buying from the shop.

I am sure they need the Trade.

My fingers firmly crossed.


As previously pointed out, there is no definite end to the restrictions, especially given the fact that rates are rising again. The end of restrictions doesn’t mean COVID has vanished. Two friends of a friend, both doubly vaccinated, currently have COVID.

Covid will never vanish, the Spanish Flu (1918 Pandemic) is still out there. We must return to living a full life.

Get double vaccinated and return to normality, the alternative is not really living is it?
I am in my late 60's I don't intend to spend the time I've got left behind a mask in solitary isolation.

I was one of those who enjoyed Beardy a couple of weeks ago and I'm off to the New Forest Festival next week .
I don't see why field 8 cant go ahead very safely.

The biggest danger to the villagers is the loss of their shop , pubs and local groups who have now lost their biggest paydays two years in a row.

I’d imagine it will be allowed but with a strict limit on attendees.

Given that an email was sent out asking for details on who was attending on each pitch in order to satisfy the local authorities I can’t see it suddenly being a free for all if restrictions are dropped (still unlikely imo)

I’d imagine the field has a limit on how many people can camp / be on site which will be part of the license conditions with or without COVID.

It sounds like the authorities are being very strict/sensible as regards limits and I’d be amazed if anyone other than those with field 8 tickets were able to attend , which is fair enough as I’m sure the organisers can’t afford to inflict the wrath of the authorities going forward.

I think it is bound to be a sold out event and should be safe.

The brasenose is likely to have a decent crowd and will be harder to limit being a public house.
Having been there a few times recently I can confirm the owners have done a good job and it’s a safe environment so I’m optimistic that the fringe will also be as safe as possible.

Yay!!!

I think I might make a day of it, stroll along the towpath, around to Jonah's Oak, but I'll not be having more than a pint - got to drive home after the show.

Anyone else up for this??

Hmm, thinking of bringing the tent and staying overnight. Any suggestions for a local campsite would be most welcome. Local = walkable. Otherwise, Travelodge or similar in Banbury...

There's a few decent places within 5 miles or so on Airbnb, but come Aug I'm only going to be an hour and half away, so I think I'll probably drive 'home'.  I'll spend the money I've saved on some merch instead.  This will be the first time I've seen Fairport (who I've seen more than 50 times) in 11 years.

The Brasenose gig is (unsurprisingly) now Sold Out (although as there are refunds up to 1 day before, the odd ticket might reappear, I guess)

ps just one practical thing...IS the gig at 17:00 or at 19:00 - the eventbrite site says both?

Enjoy it, everyone! Had I still been living in the Reading area, I'd have jumped at the opportunity, but I think it's a bit far now - especially on a Thursday evening.  Anyway, by the time I'd thought about it, I had sold out!

Definitely up for a stroll around the village and surrounding countryside (no running anymore!)

The Brasenose fringe is going ahead over what would have been the festival weekend although now it's a paying gig with limited tickets, but the line up still looks ok.

You have to pay! Well actually if you live in range of that it's an amazing bargain.

but BEING PAID -- what will compare with it?
