There is a cheap direct bus from Glasgow to Blackpool several times a day........ and there is a lot of PA members and collabs here in the Glasgow area. 

Next spring.......... I may be on this bus, yes !

This look's pretty promising.
 
Count me in for the saturday for sure, that's a pretty impressive line-up.  I'd like to see Also Eden too, but for me the thursday is a no-no unfortunately.

Thanks for the support guys. Just to let you know (and anyone else from progarchives who fancies coming), if you register for our mailing list before you buy any of the tickets on offer, we'll send you a free copy of the new Dropshard album 'Anywhere But Home' with your tickets. The mailing list sign up is on the home page top left.

The new edition of Classic Rock Presents Prog has a great feature on Ian Anderson/Tull. We were fortunate enough to interview Ian at his home for our festival documentary film (because of his Blackpool connections). He was very charming and inspite of the fact that his flight from the US was delayed and the lack of sleep he still gave us a long interview. I'll be publishing it in the festival programme. There are also articles (in Classic Rock presents Prog) on Credo and Matt Stevens who play the Thursday night (along with Also Eden).
