Indeed. The tartiflette is cheesy enough already.

(I'd probably watch them anyway. "Emerald Sword" was one of my first metal songs after all)

But at least the tartiflette is NICE cheesy whereas RoF are disgustingly cheesy.

Originally it was but not anymore. Wouldn't be much of an 'Open Air' event if it was held in a hall would it? It takes place in a large field on the grounds of Catton Hall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catton_Hall

Bloodstock Indoor and Bloodstock Open Air are two different festivals. The indoor festival ran from 2001 to 2006, and the Open Air festival has been running from 2005 to the present time.

Catton Hall is just the name of the country house whose fields we invade.

I'll probably get there on the Friday for either Cerebral Bore at 14:20, or Triptykon at 15:25 - then the second and third days are pretty much good bands throughout.
