No hard and fast rule mate, but that should be the maximum.

What's the difference then between our festivals and a marquee festival?

Is it just acoustic/chilled artists for this Gessa?
What sort of marquee are we looking at? 1 man tent, or enough to hold a Roman Legion?
Sorry for the pedantic Q's, just to get a rough idea mate

The sort that would hold about 1000 people.
The bigger type you see at big festivals.

Or a tenth of the size of one you'd need for the number of people who'd want to see his stoning.

Didn't know you were into the Whigs mate

Didn't know you were into the Whigs mate

Late into really, at the ‘Do The Beast’ album point, on the back of The ‘Algiers’ track, which I think I put up in The Mega Songs/Decades thread (it bombed , although you might have voted for it Ges) and have worked back and forward from there.

Not seen live, but I reckon in a Marquee, circa 1000 size setting they’d be cracking.

I would have voted for it, great band, never managed to get to see them live, the lead singer did a side project of 2 albums with Mark Lanegan called the Gutter Twins, worth a listen if you haven't already.
I have a spare copy of Black Love you can have if you don't already have it.

Have it downloaded on iTunes and Spotify, but not a hard copy - and one of their better albums as well.

Very kind if you want part with it Ges
