    "just" some "questions" that I thought "needed" asking.

    I can guarantee I won't listen to anything that comes out of your mouth if you speak like you write

      I've recently been investigating the possibilities of holding a live music event in summer 2005. I work in rural development in hertfordshire (the county directly north of london) which means I have access to a large no of outdoor venues and land.

      A place I had lined up is right next to a junction of the M1 (big motorway)and close to St Albans (20 mins train ride from london city centre).

      The main problem with holding large scale live music events is the financial risk. Although an [MS] event may be less prone, as many people would pre-book tickets. The other problem is the gaining of an entertainments licence - mainly due to the late night tendencies of dance music events and a district councillor's perception of them. But that could be overcome.

      What sort of capacity would you guys envisage? And what of acts would you want to play? S&D style top end of the market, or smaller niche acts? Generally the bigger the better, bringing economies of scale but also greater risk. Its a real balancing act.

            I def. love the idea of this! The WMC is a good idea because lots of people will already be down there (plus it's an extra incentive for those not planning on going). I'd be up for anything within reason, and it would be cool to try and get some kind of a "headliner" who would be willing to play for beer (not taking anything away from all the MS dj's).

              [ms]@WMC 2005 is definately not going to happen. We want to make our own party...not one amongst 1000 others during WMC.

                Before any rumors start spreading again.... at this point we don't even know who will play and where the party will happen at all.
