I'm a *big* Thunder fan (as opposed to just being 'big' ROFL).....they would certainly pull in a fair few more punters I reckon *altho* I'm not sure they'd be right for this type of gig? Not enough hair ;-) LOL I went to see Magnum a few weeks ago altho I only knew one of their songs 'Days of No Trust' which they didn't even play LOL, but I really enjoyed it. There's no doubt that these two bands would bring in a lot of people, but would those people then enjoy the other stuff on the bill? It's a difficult one, and it must be a complete nightmare trying to organise something like this!

As I said in another post on here somewhere, what I particularly enjoyed about Firefest was seeing a load of bands I'd never even heard of! The only reason I went in the first place was to see Pride, but then when I heard Firehouse were on that was a big pull too, and having played the Soul Sirkus CD to death for ages I was really looking forward to seeing them too (not gonna add anything on that front as it's all been said I think except 'Friends to Lovers' was *awesome*!) Will deffo be seeing JSS solo!

I don't know anything about Rooster, altho they have been recommended to me, so maybe I should give 'em a listen.

Erm....I appear to have spouted a load of crap without actually saying anything LOL Sorry! ;-)
