Can you spot yourself?

Pity it on Ross I won’t watch him on principle

Dreadzone 👍 Matthews Southern Comfort ✌️ ... my 1st Wickham festival - really looking forward to it. May the sun shine on us all Jenny Todd ☀️😊😎🎶
We've booked this Paparazzi Papparassi Pete Evans can't wait.
Great line up.
https://youtu.be/LeHkQYDoVJ0 if the crowd can match this when the proclaimers are on they’ll hear it in Edinburgh!
I particularly Love Level 42 ! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 👍
Who the hell is Frank Turner ?
I recommend to anyone THE ALABAMA 3 ive seen them a few times great albums and great live.
Great line up all round but Judy Collins is the icing on the cake .She and Joan Baez ( who l recently saw on her farewell tour )inspired me to sing and enjoy a lifetime of folk .
Better line up than Beautiful Days and get to stay in my county. Im in!
Blimey that’s a pretty eclectic bill!?!? 🤔
Unfortunately I’m at another shucks
Back in 1974, did I ever think I'd see a billing for a festival in 45 years time in which Graham Nash and Judy Collins were on the same bill as Gilbert O'Sullivan. Woodstock seems a long way away!
How on earth is Lucinda Williams so far down the bill?
Frank Turner.... absolutely awesome always, Lucinda Williams.... long been a fan but never seen her live, Graham Nash... legendary. Cracking line-up that just keeps getting better 😁
Afro Celt and The Spooky Men. Can't wait.
Richard O'Brien now if you want to do a festival as a punter, this is my perfect line up ...
The Proclaimers. I'm gutted I can't steward this year. I'm having my knee done.
good lord have they been raising the dead Looks a great line up though
Saw lindisfarne when I was 16 loved them Graham Nash one of my favs and Mathew southern comfort joyo xx
Worth the ticket price for level 42 alone,
How much are tickets including small campervan?
Excellent lineup.
Brilliant line up and this year I can’t go😞
And us, Shirley Knot, singing shanties on Saturday afternoon
Pity I'm already booked into New Wine that week.....
Amazing what you can find on ebay. Are 13 year old Wickham Festival flyers really worth 99p? Do you keep any old programmes, tickets, t-shirts, posters or other memorabilia?
We have some t-shirts signed by Festival headliners. Should we sell them on ebay or run a free competition with them as prizes?
I'd like a copy of the one I played at where my write up is above rolf Harris 🤣
You'd be surprised! I had people come into the shop (A Slice Of Vinyl) and ask for the posters to frame.
