shame someone can’t organize a festival in Birmingham or West Midlands with as many Midlands based metal / heavy rock bands.
Possible line up e.g. Sabbath, Priest, Zeppelin, Napalm, Shy, Magnum, Slade, Briar, Wolfsbane, Cryer, Benediction, Esoteric, Cathedral, Godflesh, Dakesis who else can you think of?
Maybe Roy Wood, ELO The Move, Moody Blues.
That’d be suck a kickass lineup ! I’m dreaming …
