Got all that? Good. George Kyle of festival sponsors Tennent's Lager said:
"Triptych's characteristic amalgam of global icons, sonic iconoclasts and avid, auspicious local talent proliferates apace this year; as many of contemporary music’s most extraordinary artists - from round the corner and round the world - revel in Scotland for five heady days and nights. Triptych 06 looks set to be the most arresting yet."

Magnetophone!

And apparently King Creosote and Sonic Boom will join them. I'm going to be sick with envy.
And Aphex Twin, Mogwai, Arab Strap and the rest of those cheeky monkeys.
Why do these things never happen in Shropshire.
I'll tell you why, because everyone is old!

look...

...you've got the Severn Valley Railway in Bridgnorth, and that pisses over any festival.

Not to mention the fact that Hitler chose Bridgnorth as the town for his headquarters after the invasion of Britain. Actually, it probably is better not to mention that...
