Greetings heads, arms, legs and feet.

It's been a week of shake up in the Muddy camp with Unity having to relocate at the last minute on Thursday. Big thanks to everyone who made their way to Lisboa at the last minute and big thanks to the staff at Lisboa for making us so welcome with so little notice.

There seems to be some confusion as to where people can buy there Grassroots Festival tickets - just so you all know you can buy your tickets between 10am and 8pm at the Glass Onion on Burghley Road in the town centre. The front doors to what was the pub are not being opened yet, but if you knock on the back doors or ring the door bells you will find friendly muddy folk who will be able to help you out. You can also purchase tickets from any of the crew at Unity every week.

Alternatively you can download the membership form from http://muddypromotions.org.uk and send it completed with a cheque for £25 (£5 membership/£20 tickets) made payable to Muddy Promotions to 2 Burghley Road, Peterborough, PE1 2QB.
