There is mention on the website of a printed programme for sale. When will this be available?

 

At the moment it's a bit difficult to plan anything as there is an enormous list of acts of different genres and not much clue about where they are on or what time.

 

I met someone who's playing the Lescar but he didn't even know when. But he invited me along anyway.

Programmes for Tramlines are now available at The Cobden, one of the few pubs not in the town centre taking part in the festival.

Also, Davey Horne played at T In The Park at the weekend and had over 2000 people in the tent for his gig. Dont think we would manage to get that many in, but check him out as he is well worth seeing.

If that's the bag you're into you should get yourself down to the Red Deer on the Friday night... Pocket Satellite, Jack's Rake, Werewolf and Black Hares!
