Here's my @GuilFest interview with @weddingpresent which took place in the Literary Tent on a rather warm Saturday afternoon. And the band were absolutely belting in the evening. Feels a long time ago now!

I was telling the wife about 'Bad Wisdom' by Bill Drummond & Mark Manning that I'd just re-read for the fifth time when we saw this on the North Circular. Could this be Bill's handiwork? If so, what a coincidence. @KLF_Online @johnhiggs
For those who missed the interview with Leo Sayer in the @GuilFest Literary Tent, here are the words – and yes, Leo Sayer has outsold @oasis leegale.co.uk/you-make-me-fe…
The lovely Melisa Montagnon from @BBCSurrey at Guilfest – listening to the superb @LetzZep with pal before The Wedding Present's amazing set.
Wonderful conversation with Leo Sayer at @GuilFest a week ago. And he even sung 'Pigeons In Flight' by @johnshuttlewrth !
A shame this couldn't be resolved. I think you should have some leeway with customers who have genuine reasons for cancelling a room with 3 weeks notice. But, y'know, there are other hotel chains out there. Enjoy your £69 windfall.
Hi Lee, we can take a look into this for you just DM letting us know your full name, reservation number, dates of your stay and the email address or postcode on the booking for security. Shaun teapawt.net/messages/compose?recip…
