"Launched in 1993, the Phoenix Festival was positioned as an alternative to the established Glastonbury and Reading Festivals. It was held at Long Marston Airfield near Stratford-upon-Avon and was one of the first four-day festivals in Britain. Unfortunately, the festival was plagued with issues with crowd control, prcing, staffing and the location, an old airfield.  The final nail in the coffin cam in 1996 when issues with security caused thousands to miss David Bowie's set on July 18, 1996, 29 years ago today.  The festival lasted one more year, then folded in 1998.  In any event, while ticket holders may have missed Bowie, yiu won't as this FM boradcast captures his entire set."



From the home of the bard! (That’s Billy Waggledagger to you boy!)

Of all the six extant signatures by the greatest ever playwright and poet none are spelled the same! 
None of them are spelled ‘William Shakespeare’!

personally I found that quite interesting . . . .
