January 8, 201015 yr Author The year off comment was just a joke i#m sure :lol: Will's going to be everywhere this year..i feel it..his profile will be huge! :w00t: Well he's been repeatedly telling us how much he loves his job so once he's had a couple of months to recharge his batteries he should be raring to go. :dance: Love how the OS hasn't gone quiet as it has in the past.

January 8, 201015 yr Thanks TT - great news - so it's starting :dance: As I thought the year`off comment only meant he wasn't doing another winter theatre tour. Me too. I'm holding out on the summer fests to see if he does another Audley-type concert or something a bit closer to home - - Devon is a bit too far for the day for just a headline. With Glasto as a astrong rumour that's two now :cheer: We'll have to have a new "Appearances" list for this year :lol: This has been posted on Devoted: Hi Guys, My name's Tim and I am the person responsible for securing Will to come down to Devon. I'm pleased it's already causing a stir and hope loads of you will come and see Will on what I know will be a fabulous day. With regard to the ticket price that someone mentioned earlier. I've tried to keep them as low as I can, but I'm sure you can appreciate getting someone like Will as well as actually getting all the infrastructure together isn't a cheap thing to do. Added to which the cost of actually selling tickets to you is expensive which is why I've had to offset some of the cost by adding a service charge. It's a lot cheaper than other ticket sites and airlines etc charge fees now too. I hope you'll understand and it won't put you off coming! If anyone has any questions, please ask them on here and I'll try to answer them as best I can. Apologies if there's a delay in replying. Edited January 8, 201015 yr by munchkin
January 8, 201015 yr Author He's just posted again munchkin. The festival is starting at 11am and is scheduled to finished around 22.30-2245. Will is doing a proper concert length performance not just 30 mins. :cheer: The easiest way from London is from Paddington direct to Newton Abbot. Then its either about a 15-20 min walk from the station to the racecourse or Stagecoach have the number 12 which stops right outside both the train station and the racecourse. Tickets are onsale from 9.30am on Monday morning. Get in quick, it's already causing quite a stir! Couldn't resist starting a new pinned Festival thread. Can't wait to add more dates. :dance: Edited January 8, 201015 yr by truly talented
