Saw the wonderful Skinny Lister at the Wedgewood rooms last night, loved their set at Wickham last year... Well worth bringing back for 2020!
Just back from seeing Skinny Lister in Aldershot, they were awesome all over again, please.... if they're touring, get them to swing by 😍🌡
Hope they play during the weekend.
Hmm, not a fan, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time! 🤗 But I agree, Tom Robinson was just fantastic, one of those unforgettable moments. Can we persuade him to come back next year? 😉 🎶 x
Omg can’t wait to see these again they played the first time we came to wickham festival xxxx
Megson would be a great booking
Fabulous! !!!!
In the interest of equality can we also have ‘The North’ ‘The East’ and The West’ ? Or is that being too Equalitarian ? Whatever, I thought Graham Nash this year was the icing on the friggin’ cake. Just superb !
Yay, they were fab last time they were there!
Wow, looking forward to this!
Brill, love them - thanks
Brilliant last time
Love these!! Good news
Maybe it's just me, but as good as all the musicians you've announced are, Wickham doesn't appear to be putting anything much new or different on the bill. A lot of repetition from other years, which is a shame as it has been a festival I've really enjoyed.
Hoorah!
Hooray!
Brilliant
Viv fingers crossed they're on the weekend!
Tom Robinson please
Jim Irvine, I am a happy bunny 👍👏
So excited they were amazing when I last saw them!
David Kentish it gets better and better! Just need to see Reg Meuross and Hipsway in the line up now...!
With the line-up so far we won’t want to work next year 😁 Please can we be near the stage again 😉
The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican are playing too. Bought tickets as soon as I saw that. 😍
