Well I think they're rubbish full stop, but there were quite a few people milling around paying no attention to the band whilst they played, not helped by their horrific cover of Shine On....

I didn't go last time RPWL played, surprised to hear that they were rubbish. As for Huw and Unto Us, maybe the album will have been released by then!

Unto Us would hardly be a surprise given that it's Huw's band, RPWL is a disappointment given how rubbish they were last time and Unitopia went down very well when they came so UPF should find a responsive audience.

Still no news on the venue, but the first bands are named as United Progressive Fraternity (Offshoot from Unitopia), RPWL and possibly Unto Us.

I hope so, I'd really like some official news on this.
The first year of SE was in Gloucester, I wonder if they're going back? |

Latest on Summers End is that it WILL NOT be in Lydney, but at a new venue, somewhere not too far away (from Lydney that is). Line up almost finalised. More to come shortly

A little more here from Steve Lamb (the festival organiser):
"I'm not making too much noise until we've confirmed the venue - Lydney as usual we hope. Strangely enough, even though it's not even the end of January, we have 75% of the line up sorted already. SE X (Summers End 10) is going to be - well - pretty sexy!" |

[QUOTE=Jared]^^ thanks for the update Tony...
re your previous post, I've been out of the loop for some time and assumed that the HRH prog fest had also been held in North Wales last year; didn't realise it had moved venues. Interesting that it had been held in Rotherham... did it have anything to do with the Classic Rock Soc/ Martin Hudson, or was this a mere geographical coincidence? /QUOTE]
Don't know why it was in Rotherham last year. Don't believe CRS had anything to do with it. Was just another of the HRH festivals. They ran 2 at the same time in Magna, HRH Prog had half the building, while HRH AOR used the rest. There was plenty of room, except in the food hall, which was mobbed as it was very small, and used by both festivals. I can't comment on why Summer's End may be moving. It will be a shame as the hall at Lydney is perfect. I'd be surprised (but not disappointed) if it was because numbers were expected to exceed capacity. Only time will tell.

well, maybe the Hall got double booked, and the Lydney WI got in first?

Certainly since around 2009/10 they've had very good crowd numbers, though I'm skeptical about how many more they could pull (maybe being closer to a big city will help with that, I don't know). However, it's been the sale of food, booze and t-shirts that has let them cover the costs (proggers sure can drink!).

Anyway, Flower Kings & Fish probably aren't big enough draws to make me travel to the North Wales coast for a weekend, so I think I'll give it a miss. Best Wishes.... |

Just found this on the Summers End Facebook page:
Advanced new of Summers End 2014. It'll be our tenth anniversary - so that's SE X. This year it will be on September 26 / 27 / 28. Location is still to be confirmed, so we recommend that you DO NOT book accomodation in the Forest of Dean just yet! |

I'm fairly new to Summers End, having just been the last 2 years, and hoping to go again this year. I have to agree with the earlier post about Lazuli, they were exceptional. I'm hoping to see them again on their UK tour at the end of this year. I'm presuming your comment above is referring to HRH prog. We went last year when it was held at the Magna in Rotherham. The line-up was very good, but the place was so cold that the bands were complaining, and it made enjoying the music difficult. Also the organisation is wholly commercially based, providing a very different experience from the fan orientated festivals such as Summers End, Danfest and Celebr8. Its each to their own, but I shan't be going to HRH again. |

I can only really afford to go to the one festival each year so I've kept on support SE, on average it tends to have better lineups than other festivals as well.

Not quite, I could remember the performances but with half of them I had to run a google search to remember the year!  |

Looking at Sleeper's list,it must've been 2011 when I went. I could've sworn it was only a year ago. I missed the Friday night that time due to work but I'm hoping to catch Lazuli when they tour with Moon Safari in November
