Thanks for finding that , James

Aye in the cold light of this morning it does seem a bit odd they'd do that festival.Their roots are punk of course but i can't imagine them doing that punk picnic thing .Know a couple of lads who go every year and it's all Napalm Death and Anti Nowhere League etc..It'd be all over the web , aye. Dunno where my mate got the idea Cocteaus were playin.Will try and get some more info out of him later. And i will try and refrain from posting half a story on here in future:

You'd think if it was genuinely the Twins it'd be all over the net by now!!

(She wouldn't show up last minute though! )

Certainly can't see it being Guthrie either: whenever I've caught him live his stuff is a million time more freeform, semi-improvised and barely-there ambient than anything the Cocteaus ever did.

All sounds like tosh to me. Liz is working on her solo record. Allegedly.....

Aye , utter pish i reckon and i'm gonna give the lad in question a good slap tonight for building my hopes up.I suspect he got mixed up with Cockney Rebel

Never mind johnny,We can still live in hope for the twins return

is this the one that stuart pearce has time off for so he can go to it?

Does anyone reckon?

I mean a couple of years back they were supposed to be doing a few gigs (Coachella?) but Liz Fraser decided to bottle out and they never reformed... can't see her changing her mind somehow as a CT reunion seems highly improbable.

Love to see them back again though, obviously. It'd be just like the good old days of them, the Bunnymen and the Order.
