I like the Bealltainn illustration, a lot!

You'd do well in the employ of Lord Summerisle ;)

Have good MayDay weekend bro

Thanks, Löst Jimmy!

It's been quite a chilly MayDay thus far... Speaking of Lord Summerisle, I'm thinking of going to the Wicker Man Festival later this year. Down near Dumfries. I can't recall when it is exactly, but I've been meaning to go for some time. Mind you, it's probably a tad pricey... tightfisted c@nt that I am!

Enjoy the respite from the factory, brother.

Great to see some non-regulation Bolan tunes being posted...

Cheers, PM. A lot of those b-sides and outtakes often eclipse the "a la carte" cuts, I think.

ib - I came across the WickerMan festival in a mailshot from a venue the other day - 24th-25th June, it is quite a line-up...I notice even Bragg is making the trip. The festival prices are not too bad given some of the other ticket prices I've seen for festivals across the country.
The 'happy' bus prices are a bit much though I noticed, in my opinion
