The thought had crossed my mind that five days in the sunshine might
help swing things a bit.

We've enlisted the help of a local radio DJ because he has good
contacts, although I'm a bit worried about him hijacking the idea.

Why nobody's done it before is beyond me.

As soon as we negotiate a good sized venue, the next step is
contacting bands, although I've noticed a lot of bands have their
bookings sorted till December already, so we can't faff around.

Thanx for your input everybody.
