Bredfest was only supposed to be a joke.

We were playing at the Roadhouse in 1999 as a warm up to a festival in which we, along with the infant Oceansize, were to be supporting the mighty Hawkwind.

Half an hour before we got onto the stage we were told that the Police had shut it down.

The pigs were scared of our dope shit.

The "man" was freaked out and layed down some heavy bummer vibes with all his rules and bad karmageddon.

But we thought "No! The kids need ROCK! We shall from this day forth gather in a place where the land meets the sky, the booze meets the carpet and the Rock meets the neighbours......and this land shall be known as.....BREDFEST!"

It was the stuff of legends, a mythical dawn to a new era of hope and chug rock. But the venue was starting to burst at the seams..........our legion of Rock cattle needed a new venue, and we needed a better excuse than usual for losing the plot........

.......and so the Lord provided the excuse - a celebration of the unification in marriage of Lord 'n Lady Bredbury. The venue......a cattle farm.

Glastonbury started just like this...........

Hi. It's not long now, is it, and I really really can't wait to see you all again.

Ignore the husband's ramblings and have a web wander around the WEDFEST site. Click on the various headings in the navigation bar above left to work the site. All credit goes to Rob for a lot of mouse clicking to devise this site. I was of no great help at all really, oh, apart from the boring bits. I did the directions, so please don't get lost! I also did the spell checking. What a team Bradshaw and I make now.

You'll all be pleased to know that WEDFEST will have no big voluminous white dress, no men wearing matching suits, no boringly long photo sessions, no embarrassing speeches and, i'm afraid to say, no free flowing booze. I can probably guarantee a mad mother with her hat though, sorry. There will be a repeat of the weather though, won't there......and there will be a lot of beautiful musical harmonies, laughter and fun. Here's to a second best day of my life?!

Anyway, less of my ramblings. Be arriving safe and sound in time for the group hug in the cow shed at 15.00 sharp. I'll be there waiting with open arms. xxx
