Can't be bad. Now all I need to do is get the money back for the Norwich ticket...

I suppose they are bound to choose the festival because of the likelyhood of a larger audience. I know what you mean about festival sets- they are usually dogged by terrible sound and so it is hard to justify spending so much. I was deciding between Norwich or Portsmouth just as they cancelled. Phew I would have been super upset if I'd booked a hotel! Aw don’t feel rejected! I suppose they are bound to choose the festival because of the likelyhood of a larger audience.

Plus the ticket for Friday at Latitude is more than double the ticket price was for Norwich :( I know Sam, but Scritti are on on Friday and I’m working.

So it would appear that maybe Norwich was just not important enough :( Just been reading Green’s MySpace and it would appear Norwich was dropped because they got the headline slot at Latitude 3 days before and says that it was a logistical problem to do both, so Norwich was cancelled.

The Latitide festival has a really good lineup and I think its a bit of a posh festival, so you will have grown up students and hippies. ;) I don’t know 26 miles is a pretty good distance to travel to see scritti politti at any price!

Would have hated to drive all the way down from Liverpool and find it was off. This was only gig i could get to. Not sure what to expect. My last few gigs have been Fairport Convention or New Model Army.... So pleased Oxford is on. Would have hated to drive all the way down from Liverpool and find it was off.

Day tickets are £40 which get me a limited Scritti set and a whole load of other stuff which I've never heard of before ! Plus I hate festivals (must be my age). All those soap & tax dodgers (students) and hippie wannabees (or Wood Beez). Not my cup of tea. I guess I will have to console myself with the Pet Shop Boys on the 21st. A serene gig in a forest in Norfolk :) At least I have that. And it’s no consolation that the Latitude festival is only 26 miles from Norwich.
