While the website looks beautiful, I find I’m unable to read black text on a charcoal and black background. Perhaps it’s my monitor. Does anyone else have trouble seeing it?

I had trouble too. But by making a “select all” on the text, you will be able to read it more easily. :slight_smile:

And for the week-end, too bad Japan is a bit too far from England… :frowning: Anyway, I will play my Williams set even more on theses days, and hope thoses who will go will tell us here what hapened.

Apparently tickets are selling like hot cakes, anyone thinking of attending the weekend should contact Sam via the website for a ticket a.s.a.p. as there’s only a limited number left.
