    The people that did turn up - Marco Bailey, DJ Murphy, Fergie, Josh Wink, Thomas Schumacher were forced to play at such a ridiculously low level due to the sound restrictions once it got dark that it really wasn't worth it and made a bit of a mockery of the whole event (bad site planning) - the council wanted it shut down Fri nite and obviously had the excuse they needed too SUnday lunchtime after the medics and security walked when they found out there was no money to pay them... Such a shame as this had big potential...
    gotta second what he said - and add that the shit sucka truck was pumpin all the waste into the wrong drainage system which "contaminated" the main (psy) stage..... council shut it down :-(

    so gutted we endured the ****in psytrance for 2 whole days and got there thursday night - thinking there'd be a wkd techno line up - it seemed like the psy boys weren't cancelled it was just the techno peeps told "no money".

    if we'd known there'd be as little techno (and as quiet) we would def not have bothered. - murphy though........ wow!!! scratchin the deck like a guitar - top stuff respect!!!

    ya live and learn :-(

    You win some you lose some...

    We tried to have a good time anyway but for what it cost it was impossible not to be diappointed. Well done the people who came and played for free, my respect for Fergie went up another notch for playing several hours to a virtually abandoned tent for nothing. I didn't realise Marco Bailey or DJ Murphy went ahead with it though, nobody had the remotest clue who was still playing and where...

    Shit happens :whoops:

    Your'e right, noone knew who was on or where at any point other than Sat on the main psy stage which seemed to be totally unaffected by the whole fiasco.

    Marco Bailey, DJ Murphy and DJ Preach all played on the fri night in the tent full of Maniks Funktion 1 (hosted by Party Proactive) - the tent Fergie played in also hosted the Chew The Fat breaks day on Sat but unfortunately for them there was about 20 people in there at best the whole day :-(

    Manik were a part of this?
    No wonder it went poop.
    Too many gangsters involved in this event.
    I knew this wasn`t gonna go well, but wanted to keep schtum for fear of being called negative.
    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?
