More soon on the travel page (like buses the details will all come at once, or...) . === Day by Day Full running order should be available soon (we're still refining and refining - you see what care goes into this!?). But to help everyone plan their days out, here's a quick breakdown of who's on which day as of June 14th. These are not yet confirmed timings* and listed alphabetically (we hope). ==== (//*Small print warning - we're entitled to re-possess your house and sign all your adult children into slavery if you've booked for the wrong day and want to change it after booking or if your tent weighs more that 10 kilos or is in more than one bag or whatever other stuff we make up before you get to the gate!//) = © copyright Eire O'Flot Airlines 2013 FRIDAY EVENING 19th ==== Dick Gaughan - Jess Morgan - Keith Kendrick & Sylvia Needham - Liv Torc - Merry Hell - The Cactus Room - Tricorn Shonkey - Wizardmarra SATURDAY AFTERNOON 20th ==== Abbie Rechert - F.O.S.

Making a special effort just for us, he'll be appearing on the bill at Stainsby, Friday evening, before driving off to the airport for his transatlantic gigs. Give the big man a big hand on the night! === Stonking Sunday (& Saturday!) Jiggery Pipery are confirmed to bring Sunday to a stonking close. We've also added the new FOS Brothers acoustic set on Saturday and proving just how groovy the local scene is we're including Grassoline, The Natterjacks, Amy & Lily and May KB. Oxygen! I feel faint! === Lost Padres ....Found! It's confirmed the Lost Padres will be at Stainsby again this year. === Wondermental Welcome the return of wondermentalist Liv Torc to the line up. Prepare to give reality a kicking! === Better and Better Now we can add John Kirkpatrick, King of the Squeezebox and Alistair Anderson to a //fantaaastic// line up. We can also add The Hut People and confirm last year's competition winner, local singer, Abbie Rechert. Superb! === Lineup Shaping Up As you can see from the [[index.shtml|Home page]], we've started firming up the lineup, and it's looking //goood//... what with Merry Hell and Elbow Jane and Mick Ryan and Maggie Boyle and Paul Downes and (pause for breath!) ooohhh...just lots of great people! === Stamp of Approval It's sometimes difficult getting across that we really are run entirely by volunteers and are genuinely a not-for-profit festival. What to do, what to do?? Well, on the principle that a picture is worth a thousand words (especially when you have to write them!), we've introduced the natty red stamp on the left. We're putting it on all our stuff to try and spread the word about why Stainsby is not only a great festival, but also a great community run event. Let us know what you think. === Giving a bit! [[https://www.givingabit.com/communities/details/141222|{{/images/givingabit48x48.png}}]] Want to support us? Then how's about giving us a bit without it costing you a bean! Really? Yes, really!

What could be nicer?! === Latest Newsletter Released The wait is finally over! Sit back in the armchair, relax with a cup of tea, and read the latest musings (or should that be ravings?) of our esteemed Chairman [[/newsletters/StainsbyNewsletter2013.pdf|here]]. Not on the list? Sign up ☞[[https://madmimi.com/signups/81558/|right here]] right now! === Walks to the Earthwork The old earthworks at Stainsby, the site of the original festival from 1969 to 1974, formed part of a guided walk around this centuries old remnant of a vanished age. This was part of our programme of spoken word, poetry and the relationship between memory and landscape. For those fascinated by folk memory and tales of the past, there's a blog about it [[http://earthworkblog.wordpress.com/|here]]. Feel free to join in! === Camping Arrangements Camping is available for weekend ticket holders on Friday and Saturday nights. With the extended Sunday line up, you can also stay over on Sunday night after the festival closes (though it makes our take down easier if you don't). If you do stay, facilities are restricted (because we'll be dismantling them) and you'll need to be gone by 10am when we return the camping field to its owner. === Child and Youth Tickets Children under 12 are still free accompanied by a paying adult. Children from 12 to 17 are on a new youth ticket at 15 quid per session or only 25 quid for the full weekend. 16 and 17 year olds will be pleased that they don't have to pay the full rate any longer (although the downside of course is that they won't get served in the bar). We're planning to cater more for this this age group now and in future. After all they are the next generation of musicians! === Mailing List If you'd like to be sent a copy of the this year's Friends of Stainsby Festival newsletter and any news alerts including details of our annual AGM, then put yourself on our mailing list .
