Please join the mobile & e-mailing lists at Killforaseat.com to be the first to know what we’re up to for next year’s festival. My thanks go to Elin, Michael, Paul, Andy, JC & Geoff at the Pavilion for their tireless work and calm professionalism, Sheena and Brian and the folks at the RAFA Club for not freaking out when telly people turned up and took the piss out of the amount of sheer Brown in the building, PJ, Katy and the Sun Trevor crew for making alcohol so readily available, and all the acts for being so patient as I flapped around Denbighshire, crying and gibbering, especially John & Ed, for the humility and generosity with their time, and Brendan, consigliere. Last but not least, Jo. With all my heart.

We have a reserve list for these - it is probably still worth ringing if you have a hankering to see John Bishop & Lloyd Langford on that evening - 01978 860111 during office hours. We will release these tickets (which means we will contact those people on the list) as soon as we have written confirmation of the new capacity.

We will have the full line up (including the Saturday headliner) in the next couple of weeks.

Without all that to do (which frankly we were looking forwards to) we have now sold out of tickets for John Bishop & Lloyd Langford at the Pavilion on Thursday and Craig Campbell and John Bishop at the RAFA on the Friday. We’ll see what we can do about squeezing a few more bodies in  - so if you want to go on the reserve list you will need to ring the Pavilion on 01978 860111 during office hours and give us your name, e-mail and mobile number.

We are still waiting on confirmation of the Saturday headliner - you’ll know minutes after we do!
