FIB have announced some more of their line-up for this Summer's festival. In addition to the history-making electronic pop of Depeche Mode, we will be joined by the vibrant pop of both Franz Ferdinand and The Rakes, the unmistakable sounds of Echo And The Bunnymen and the smooth elegance of Jay-Jay Johanson.
Franz Ferdinand, of course, appeared during the wonderful FIB 2004, when they were a strong up-and-coming act among a musical "sky of stars". The line-up for 2006 is, though, looking as weak as that for 2005, but it is always difficult to tell, with the very drawn out process of confirming/announcing acts.
Doubtless there will be continued speculation on the eFestivals forums.

I have often seen reminiscences of people I have never even heard of, and I fail to see -- because I do not happen to be a 'Somebody' -- why my blog should not be interesting. My only regret is that I did not commence it when I was a youth.
