Majika is likely to be the singer and her boyfriend. she does have an amazing voice

i'm hoping the weather stays good for this, i'm not gonna get the train over from wolves to sit in the rain, but i would like to come

 

Is an umbrella a "must have" on your rider nowadays?

 

the must have's on our rider now are a playful dog, haribo, and enough booze to kill oliver reed. i would like to come, especially as we had to pull out of last years...

 

Honeymoon Fresh are pretty good so will be up for seeing them, nice.

 

Due to a prior engagement i'm unable to attend tomorrow's shindig, now i'm sure the music will get a few reviews however could someone please take time to check out any dogs that might be there? and duly update. I thank thee ......

 

heard word that Adele is going to be performing a couple of songs, apparantly shes mates with a band playing there today and shes agreed to sing a couple acoustic versions of songs!!

 

I heard Michael Barratt might pop in soon

 

First post welcome and I hope you are correct.

If this is some scam to generate more interest, shame on you if not well done.

 

Adele who?

 

Blue Adkins ?

 

Is that for real? Will definately get up there if so but good chance a) its bull sh*te and b) even if it wasn't, probs missed it now.

 

Lots of staffys up there dog-wise, an amazing array of tattooed people, maybe a parade could be organised for next year? Bands were ok but main problem with all bands I saw was that they had one good idea and stuck to it rigidly, not a lot of variety but a nice afternoon in the sun all the same. The Slaters Queen Bee from Real Ale bar was decent enough also. Ahem.

 

decent night up the castle, best Sunday in ages!

 

Had a great day/night once again!

Here are 3 videos of the festival I've just been alerted to:

STAFFORD FM - LIVE AT THE CASTLE PART ONE OF THREE

STAFFORD FM - LIVE AT THE CASTLE PART TWO OF THREE

STAFFORD FM - LIVE AT THE CASTLE PART THREE OF THREE

See if you can spot yourself!

 

Have looked and not found...

Didn't a Stafford FM or likewise register not too distant past?

I know they haven't said anything, on account of waiting for them to do so and waiting in vain.

We did have this;

followed by all sorts of suspicious minds? (Elvis has definitely left the building - and this one's better anyway)

The above videos are down-down-diggety-down-da-down are they not? A professionalism brought to the scene that can only be appreciated.

It grieves me that a Stafford Radio Station would not wish to be affiliated with a Stafford Forum - and what is worse - it grieves me that this should be from past experience.

Live@ the Castle is a perfect example of where the two enterprises meet - quite apart from the Staffie Show, it pulls a big, big crowd (big enough this year to say the biggest?), proof positive that the folk of Stafford will get off their arses and get behind a big community venture - the same people would get behind a decent community radio station i'm sure.

Just remember that, from what i could see at least, many-many-many people there were kinda young-young-young - "Everybody likes the Eagles, right?" - wrong.

 

Could take a while for the cannabis smoke to waft away from the castle.

 

I'm not on any of them either, thankfully!

There wasn't anywhere near as much ghetto spinach smoke in the air as last year, but then we were sat near to the beefy delights of the BBQ for quite some time. And the toilets.

 

We were sat round there and the smell wasn't very noticeable but it was if you walked about a bit. Did you see the toilet get knocked over?

 

Well i popped up there for a bit today and inhaled very deeply for a bit.

Nothing.
