(I was laughing at Nico Rjindndnders's post but Maddix's was a good post as well)

The support for that Fall gig looks really quite appalling

yep, that pretty much the usual thing these days...they know we are only there for the main event


you going thomas, given your recent enthusiasm for the group ?

Colchester Free Festival is a week Saturday, mostly very average local bands but the New Town Kings are always good and I quite like Angry Vs the Bear too, should be a good day.

I doubt I will be joining you on Sunday Hoppo, but you never know. If I do go, I'll keep a look out for you; I'm sure there are very few old snarling Northern men in the audience at Fall gigs so you won't be difficult to spot.

your irony made daughter laugh...me i always feel quite the spring chicken at local fall gigs...nb, his mam always turns up for a start.

fall group are just such top bananas...great concert, in a great venue ...oooh cool stuff, and only one small faux pas. which was coming on all friendly like to jon robb...eeek sometimes i hate myself

Would like to go and see We Are Scientists at Portsmouth Pyramid Centre but I don't want to book anything in case I don't meet anyone who will come with me. I joined a facebook group for the hall of residence I'm staying in and I've been facebook stalking other members' music info, that's a bit sad isn't it.
I MOVE OUT IN LESS THAN A WEEK :(

Anyone going to the Bearsuit/Dinosaur Pile-up thingy on Saturday?

Not sure yet. I think I'll do at least one of the Norwich Sound and Vision festival gigs but I can't be bothered doing all 3 nights on the trot, especially as whilst all 3 gigs seem ok none of the lineups are anything special really.

i have just got back from my first end of the road (well, actually i got back yesterday, but have just recovered from getting back).
 
well aware that i have a consistently irritating ability to be a bit gushing, i have to say that

IT WAS UTTERLY BRILLIANT

 
it is in a beautiful place, its very quaint and pretty and carefully thought through as a festival experience, the artists all seem to be so glad to be there and chat, most of the punters are great (there were precious few knobs of either the drunk pre sixth form variety or the summer season yah brigade), the volunteer staff are great and the bands were invariably good (albeit you'd need to be keenest on alt americana going on folky/rocky stuff which i fortunately am). oh, and they have great food (often very local) plus excellent beers and ciders on tap at decent prices, but if you want you can take your own carry outs right to the stages.
 
oh me, oh my i am one happy happy very tired punter totally back in love with festivalling. and i'm not even going to bore you silly with a detailed review, i'm that content.

It isn't a gig but OMG DICK AND DOM ARE GOING TO BE AT FRESHER'S WEEK!

The smaller festivals are often the best ones to go to with up and coming bands on ,next year think we may well go to more smaller festivals. green man looks goodwhat wood you say are the best festivals,the only one that i go to know is latitude. must get out more ?

sorry hoppo, i truly don't get the joke of the topic advert. it was funny to see it though.

Sorry mr lodge, but the topic ad. wasn't a joke as such, more of a mistake...was meant to be posted on facebook but ended up on here...needless to say i am rubbish at multi-tasking...pretty good bit of nostalgia though

!!! ticket came today, I know how much everyone here loves them.
