Its not till the end of May - costs £5 to get in then you have to pay again for the rides and overpriced food. There are usually some free things once you get in like horse jumping to watch or boxing demo and a Hallam FM stage and one year they had a classic car display with 2, thats 2, cars.

There are complaints every year about the price but it's always mega-popular.

According to the posters I have seen dotted around Sheffield, it appears not to be, they all state the 28th and 29th of May, dunno why, I also would have thought it would have been over the weekend, but apparently not.

Hallam FM said yesterday that Duncan James (ex-Blue) will be performing this year. I don't know what day he's doing, there is a slight possibilty he could do both days as one of the bands last year did both. They also said they'd be announcing more people over the next week.

I hope Matt Willis does do it - and I think there's a good chance he will...

ooh if duncans there that'll be good! prefer it if was lee ryan though - seeing him at a westlife concert in lincoln next week, woohoo!

i love matt willis too, in his video for up all night, he looks soooo hot!

I was thinking that Lee is the type of person who would do it too, but I doubt they'll get 2 Blue members there! Lee AND Westlife - I'm jealous ;)

Matt's stuff is definitely better than the other two's... Can't wait for his album.

Look out for the Sheffield Retired Greyhound stall. We are usually in a marqee with promotions for the Speedway and the Casino. Come and say hello and get information on adopting one of our lovely doggies.

Mayfest is this weekend - again it's £5 plus costs of rides etc which I think is ridiculous considering that it's in a local park which we pay all year round for and the 'celebrities' are a load of z-listers and has beens. I always thought it was a charity event but apparantly not.

These guys are playing on the Sunday, as you guys probably already know, but if you haven't heard them then listen to them. Some of their music is on their myspace (myspace.com/threequarters) and I'm going to miss them coz I'm going on the Monday :(. For Matt of course!! :mrgreen: *dribble*

I've just spoken to the organisers of Mayfest who tell me that it is of course very much on. I'm looking forward to it, it's always been a fun couple of days, and the weather reports look ok now!

Yes, it went ahead although the ground was a bit tacky and muddy. There were plenty of rides and food outlets. I will be there from lunch time tomorrow promoting Sheffield Retired Greyhound Fund. Our trailer is in the Owlerton Stadium tent. Come along and fuss the greyhounds.

I went to the Mayfest Yesterday with loadsa my hillsboro mates. I didn't mind paying a fiver at all, it only comes round once a year. I think they should have a julyfest:hihi: as well.

Its nice to see people enjoyin themselves watching the different acts etc.

I went out last night and dont feel fit enough to drag myself outta the house just yet so missing it today.

Well according to the programme the 'acts' in the central arena total 5 and are repeated in the afternoon, or are you referring to hallam stage performances?
Whats there sazk23? we want to know :)

There are a few acts that ive never heard of, infact there's only 2acts i actually knew. Blazin squad was there yesterday (no cute Kenzie tho).

I cant remember the line up for 2day. Im not into that sorta music(Indie/Bands etc) so it didnt interest me, but there was a good atmosphere and it was a good day all in all. Got quite drunk.

Loadsa Stalls selling things, Clinton Woods were there yesterday, loadsa rides.

Get yourself down there, you can take your own alcohol in, just not glass bottles. If u do take glass bottles in, dont be seen by the security people :thumbsup:

Today was really good - despite the cold and the rain every now and then!
Matt Willis was ace - put a lot of effort in, and I got to meet him too and he was lovely. Same goes for Rooster, it was good to hear their new stuff and see them again.
