 	Thanks for posting this, Steve! It's 3-5 August and I am very 
tempted. Weirdly, it's in the same place and features about half the 
line-up of the Canterbury Sound Festival that Hawkwind played in 2001 from 
which the _Canterbury Fayre_ album comes. That was a fun festival (as well 
as a marvellous Hawkwind performance), and I assume there must be some 
connection between the two, but I can't find anyone on the web admitting 
as much. Still, if anything like the Canterbury Sound Festival as was it 
should be excellent. Maybe see you there! Yours,
 						 Jon
