There's always something for everyone at Wickham. I usually find some treat gems in the unknown to me artists. Looking forward to see what surprises this year brings.
Well i went for 1 day last year and seen lindisfarne, ralph mcTell, my hero, then Sam Browns heros, then saw gilbert O Sullivan, who blew me away plus other very good acts. As i had enjoyed it so very much i decided to book for the full 4 days plus localish hotel plus flight from Cyprus to Gatwick, plus train fare. Now looking at performers what a waste of time as only know 2. Leo Sayer, who is crap and Scottish singer???? Thats how good this years turn out is what a waste of time.
I've never heard them, but heard a lot about them and they're clearly very popular, so looking forward to seeing them.
I think the bill you have announced so far is stunning, every new announcement makes me say yeh again and again.
Paul Campbell this is a great little festival and I know you’re a fan of these guys.
Great band .... a must
Oh yes!đ
They are BRILLIANT
Excellent..how about coco and the butterfields
Rub the salt in, go on....âšī¸
