Comments and Reviews


chrisb 28th Mar 2023		Added cover of 48 page programme



chrisb 21st Aug 2021		Toyah talks about the Wickham mud and stage problems and praises the organisers and crew.(at 0 mins to around 4.10 mins) and there's a film Tom Robinson took of the SAS Band pre show ritual before going onstage (at 11.45 mins to 13.10 mins)



chrisb 14th Aug 2021		About 80% or more of artists booked for the cancelled 2020 festival were rolled forward and were able to appear this year (added scan of the poster for last year’s cancelled festival). The Waterboys were due to come but travel arrangements meant they had to cancel - replaced by Fairport Convention. In addition Nick Lowe performed solo as Los Straightjackets could not travel from the USA. (although Steve Wickham of The Waterboys did join Liam O'Maonlai and Peter O'Toole of The Hothouse Flowers to play a trio set on Sunday) There are pictures, video interniews and performance videos with several acts on the Wickham Facebook page



chrisb 13th Aug 2021		The SAS Band (Spike's All Stars) put together by Spike Edney included as guests: Toyah, Graham Gouldman, Steve Harley, Tom Robinson and Madeline Bell.



chrisb 13th Aug 2021		After last year's cancelled festival, the decision of the organisers to go ahead with this year's festival as Covid restrictions eased almost backfired. Heavy rains turned some parts of the expanded site to mud just as the festival opened, and the Main Stage contractor failed to deliver a safe and viable main stage for the 4-day festival- it was built but remained unused. So a decision was made to make The Big Top Stage stage 1, Quay West Stage became stage 2, Acoustic Stage became stage 3 and the Twisted Tearoom became stage 4. Acts were reallocated and juggled each day to make the best lineups for the festival, and for the stages. I have posted the acts as per the original programme schedule, not the rejigged stage lineups.
