I've never been, but fck it, of course it's worth it if you can afford to go!

I am completely broke...so I'm busted for going this year. But holy sh!t! Look! Just look!

i am going. i dont know if i can be bothered to have a stall again this year as it keeps you in one place and for the times i have been there i have seen hardly any music at all.

so this time i will wander around. will be nice to see my good friends from type records do their showcase. but i bet i get to see nothing again from working and networking too hard.

technorich
why dont you go to technique in leeds? its not that far away from liverpool and they have all the big names on. they have john tejada coming soon the night before he comes to play for me.

don't stay at the stall this time, you looked bored last year

Yeah, I've heard good things about Technique. I'm actually living in North Wales at the moment, which adds another couple of hours onto the journey to Leeds. Doh! Lucky though - my little brother is going to university in Leeds this september, so I will have a place to stay for free when I go out clubbing there. Family connections!

ooh no! far from bored, mainly because i had already told myself i would see very little music, so i wasnt disappointed. lots of good business and intersting labels is sometimes more fun to me than seeing music.

rich - head to brum for my may 1st john tejada gig. then on may 20th i've got billy nasty doing electro, and the clever music guys doing a room
