Well, once again it has been a while since the last blogging session......here goes....the latest news is that the t-shirts are now designed and colour schemes are pending, a t-shirt screen printer has been sourced locally, once the bands have all been finalised on the t-shirt design they can be printed :)

Hopefully online images of the t-shirts will be on the site shortly and people can pre-book their t-shirts for pick up at the event, payment by cash or cheque only please.  Further details to be posted shortly.

Mr T continues to be Mr Organiser extraordinaire, I can sense a real feeling of excitement bubbling away under the surface despite some acts dropping out rather disappointingly and accommodation issues for those coming from up country, but heyho, all in a days work for my Man

The running order/line-up for the 3 days is now finalised and up on the site, 12 days to the start......SEE YOU THERE

Well, since I last "blogged" is that as new verb for the new millennium?  Anyway, since I last did that, we have finally sorted out the photo gallery, we have pictures from 2002 through to 2009, have a look see if you kind find yourself, you might even see a picture of you too!!  Enough I hear you saying....  anyhooo, they are loading really quickly too, the pictures, thanks mainly to Bob Sharples once again for a nifty piece of software! 

We have also been discussing layout of the beer garden too, I personally feel that last year didn't work very well, especially for those performing on the accoustic stage and for those trying to watch them as there was a constant stream of people walking in front of the stage.  Suggestions for alternative layout gratefully received. 

T-shirt girl, namely Holly, Mr Ts daughter is currently revising hard for her A Levels, understandably the design for the 2010 T-shirts is on the back burner at them moment, however she assures us that she will get onto it as soon as she is able to draw breath and escape from the madness of exams.  We are hoping to set up on line t-shirt buying from this site, stand by, not sure if that is going to be possible, but you never know, we will manage something.

Anyway, looking forward to it, I will continue to keep you up dated and if you are at Flora Day next weekend look out for us dancing the midday dance, we are the last couple so make sure you clap

Have you ever been "Spling Splanged" ?

The legendary Spling Splang who performed at the first couple of Helstonburys are rumoured to be making a comeback, one night only.  Watch this space.

Gertcha - Mr T and Scooby are in talks and dusting down their pork pie hats in readiness for the come back gig of the year "Daz and Chav".  They will pay their own personal tribute to their icons!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness we are in Paignton with Tom, he has helped us create a login area for people to register with the site and receive regular news and updates, and to Mr T's delight we now have a guest book area so why don't you leave us a message. 

Coming soon, a running order for each day. 

Latest band news, check out The Real Matt Jones and Landon Smith, both will be performing at Helstonbury, they are recording artists from America looking for exposure in the UK, check out their myspace's now.  See band listings for links. 

Garden extension - due to the complexity of work required, the proposed expansion of the beer garden is not happening for the time being.

Kids like to Rock this year (Friday) will have an accoustic stage to allow younger artists to perform in the beer garden. 

Back soon and don't forget to register.

Well, it's been a while, and so much more has happened, Mr T has been a organisin' again....Dizzy Lizzy are confirmed for the Sunday night, whoo hoo, THEEE BEST THIN LIZZY TRIBUTE BAND you will ever see; if you don't know who Thin Lizzy are  (please don't admit that in front of my daughter) you WILL appreciate the sheer brilliance of the Band's rock playing genius  stand by for some great sounds.

The gallery is currently being created, the photos that were uploaded before were loading too slowly so some technical work (thanks Bob) has been done to them to make them load far more quickly, they are from 2005 to 2009.  Check them out and see if you can find yourself amongst them.  Many thanks to Bob Sharples for supplying all the photographs, his website is www.bobsharplesphotography.co.uk visit the site to purchase some of his excellent photography not just from Helstonbury but from his many other photographic projects around Cornwall and beyond.

Mr T tells me it will be a tight thing to fit all the bands in this year, many bands wish to play such is the fame of Helstonbury, he tells me that he is doing his utmost to fit all those that wish to play into the programme but due to time constraints this may not be possible, here's hoping he manages it.

By the way, if anyone knows of any local causes, groups or individuals who may wish to apply for a share of the funds raised by Helstonbury this year, please email Mr T at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Well that's all for now, back soon.

Tonight I finally got around to uploading the band list for those confirmed so far.  I have included the links to band websites, youtube or myspace areas, check them out, see for your self on the internet what you get to see live at Helstonbury.  Keep checking for the latest news as it happens.  Mr T continues to sort out the schedule and is still waiting for confirmation from a few bands.  This year the beer garden at the Blue Anchor will be extended width and length so there will be even more room for you to enjoy Helstonbury  and hopefully more room for more people.....MORE MONEY RAISED!!!

Today I have started to upload photos from 2009, Tom's not here at the moment so I am hoping that I am doing it correctly or that he can fix it if I am not!  There are about 19 weeks 'til Helstonbury 2010, let's hope it's a really good one because it is the 10th and therefore a bit special.  Mr T has already booked a number of bands, my next job, getting the band names on here and adding their links.....keep checking back....

Tonight I started to create the new Helstonbury website, I hope you like it and keep coming back for all the latest news and information.  A big thank you to Tom Bunton for helping in the creation of this site and no doubt he will be called upon in the future when I get stuck!  Bye for now, keep checking back with me
