nicksneddon Block 9 was absolutely brilliant - Groove Armada DJ at Maceo’s and were absolutely brilliant. Atmosphere and crowd were superb
Pilton...I mean Glasto' Festival
Foals we’re okay, but only realised I’d missed Paul Heaton after - he did The Housemartins and Beautiful South stuff and was meant to have been brilliant.
Pet Shop Boys were absolutely fucking fantastic. Couldn’t get into Arcadia to see Daniel Avery after, they stopped people going in as it was too full - mind you, it sounded like a bit of a racket.
Smallman1 Got into an argument with some cunt who wanted to put dairy free butter in my sausage and egg bap (not a euphemism) Had to verbally dismantle him in front of his colleagues and a huge queue, if he was saw me in Tooting he would definitely punch / strangle me.
Ed gets into a brawl with some teenager working on his mates mates stall for a free ticket:
Everyone banging on about Billie Irish, as my lad calls her, but having seen the footage I soon realised she was fucking miming to a ridiculously large amount of it. How’s that even allowed?
Mic is nowhere near her mouth even.
Along_the_Wire how was Blawan and Overmono?
Along_the_Wire Fantastic stuff – love how you were doubtful to go till recently and ended up in block9!
zackster I didn’t see them. There’s an awful lot on you see.
nicksneddon yeah, only got the green light Thursday night - can’t imagine missing that and watching it in the tele.
So my key take away. Everyone goes to Glasto and comes back raving about…..Roisin Murphy.
You’re really witnesses to a piece of history there chaps lol.
Just reading the Glasnost thread over in 365 – some guy on there said he attached a ring doorbell to his tent, cant workout if hes serious or not
That would have been Ed’s tent. Ringing the bell, ringing Edward.
Millsy the massive upside to seeing Murphy was that you weren’t seeing McCartney
Heno yeah, sound was too low at Diggers - there were hardly any people there though, so easy to move nearer the sound system. Spotted Jack Whitehall there, the unfunny cunt that he is.
I spotted Micky Flanagan in hospo.
Told him it was good to see him “out out” and he told told me to fuck off.
- Edited
Millsy If anyone comes back from there saying the best thing they heard all weekend was a headliner, they’re prolly doing it wrong
( however saying that the best gig Ive ever been to was Prodigy in 95, but in my defence – it was my first time )
Along_the_Wire at Diggers’ set? Or just Glasto?
