The LINC were reporting live from the 2009 Haigh Music Festival all day
long. Missed any of the action? Here's our full stream from Twitter.
Note: Our first tweets are at the bottom, so you'll need to read
upwards if you want to see it all in chronological order. Yes, we know
it's stupid and a bit backwards but in all honesty we were knackered
when we got back from the festival and doing a straight cut-and-paste
job from our Twitter page seemed like the easiest and most hassle-free
way to get this page done.
