Eddie Grant was pretty cool too.
Massive Attack would struggle to be rubbish I say. |
Yeah, watched Kings Of Leon and thought they were really good - their newest album is on shopping list

Hmmm, yes, I thought she was pretty dreadful too
Apparently she's asked to headline next year...??!!

Partly I suspect, but also the long-winded registration process, the price of the tickets, and the atrocious weather in previous years.

I've been about half a dozen times and played (tiny) stages a couple of times & watched mates on bigger stages. Usually, when I don't go, I've missed it, but this year ? Mister Eavis is right though - it's for da kids. Jay Who ?

Thing is though, you could have well avoided JayZ by watching Massive Attack instead. Or seen somebody new & great on one of those aforementioned 'tiny stages'?
I think gigs in general are for 'da kids' but I'm quite happy to be 'the oldie' in the crowd, albeit at the edge

I enjoyed a bit of Mano Chow (sp?)on telly. Used to be in a French band I liked.(mano negra) |
Oooh yeah... Campervan... Trouble is, the tickets on their own cost the same as a week in a holiday cottage (We'd have to have 3 as our eldest is over 13), add the campervan hire & the extra cost for the caravan field and it's
OH used to go with Ma & Pa when he was little, he really wants to go again, so I guess we'd better get saving!
