I was assuming that people who were interested enough to want to come would have read through the thread and seen that the gig was full. The event has been posted up for seven months.
Now there's a couple of cancelllations, there is room for a couple of my own friends who have made major contributions to the event going ahead, lending me equipment, giving of their own free time helping me to prepare, food etc. They had originally offered to step aside and not attend to allow more room for forum members, but I've deceided to call 'absolute full' and invite them along for my own selfish reasons.
