Just confirmed Rats playing at Plymouth Volksfest Have asked which night, (SUNDAY) Will post. Looks like a real camping festival. http://www.plymouthvolksfest.co.uk/
See what other gigs come up before I consider this. Most likely miss out on Early Bird though. Need to spread the very thin cash load around. Saving my pennies for my 2014 Rats Fest .
RAZORLIGHT, The Feeling, Boomtown Rats, Toyah, Heaven 17, The Real Thing and Hayseed Dixie are set to make this years Volksfest the biggest and best yet.
How's this for luck: I've won hire of a vintage VW camper and I live in Devon (hire agreement says the van must remain in the South West). Bad news is, the earliest I can pick it up is Tuesday!
Will do my best to remember it. Anyone else going? Apparently the rain will ease and as of yesterday it's not muddy at all, in case you're wondering about brollies and wellies etc.
