My Theory About Festivals by Ann Elk (Miss)

           Hard to believe that it's festival time again. With the mercury set to rise this week in the UK, it could not be better timing though.           For BB the season kicks off at Bearded Theory over the coming Bank Holiday weekend.            It will be hard to match the scorching temperature at last year's Bearded Theory, when BB brought the curtain down on the entire proceedings on the "Locked Inn" stage, just maybe that was too hot!           There is a venue change for the 2014 event, moving a few miles down the A38 to Catton Hall, also home to Bloodstock, later in the year. It remains Derbyshire, although if someone pointed you in the right direction, you could probably flight a false beard into Staffs from the site.          BB are set to play "The Locked In The Woods" stage this year, at a time as yet to be confirmed on the S...

                                           BB in full flow at "The Pav" last weekend.         Apologies for the lack of a blog last week leading up to the Matlock Bath event, unfortunately some gremlins managed to infiltrate the cogs of the machine, resulting in a trip to the local steambotics centre for some remedial activities beyond the ken of mere humans.        All good now though and upon reflection a good day last Saturday.

Due to a small glitch concerning the "steambots" at the manufacturing plant, it appears a very late April, most likely May launch is on the cards.             On the recorded material front, as i have eluded to previously, the third and fourth albums were laid down on last years trip to Germany and it is still planned to release No. 3 within the calendar year. Three being the album where the cover is being montaged from all those portrait shots that many of you contributed.            Another productive visit to Holstein last month now see's the raw material for No. 5 written and recorded and hopefully we may get the odd on...
