G. The promises were made after last years festival. You know how much we were messed about.
We were moved around the running order so much that our heads were spinning, only to turn up on the Friday afternoon to be told that we had missed our slot because the running order had been changed again (while we were driving to the site!) and no one saw fit to phone us to let us know.
We were then given three other slots, all of which were cancelled (one almost ended up with us having a fight with a dj in a caravan) before we finally were squeezed in at lunchtime on Saturday.
At the time Keran was very apologetic and gave us his word that if we wanted to come again next year he would not only ensure that the same thing didn't happen again, but that we would have a better slot in the running order.
That's why I put our name forward for this years festival - only to be told that they didn't want to run a repeat of last years line-up, at the same time as they were confirming on their FB page at least 4 of last years bands
would be playing
again this year! I'm sure you can see why I wasn't best pleased.
I was told to wait until the contact email address was posted, and then make an application to play. I did. Heard nothing back. Then, a few weeks later they put a reminder up on their FB page telling bands that wanted to play to email them. I did. Once again I heard nothing back.
So I've taken the hint.
All it would have taken was the courtesy of a reply to either of my emails to say 'sorry guys, cant fit you in this year' and I would have been disappointed but satisfied.
