I've seen them three or four times, and they've been absolutely brilliant every time. Missing them is the only thing that's made me disappointed we came home early (oh, and not meeting you of course wink )

Is it still raining, and is it still cold? Please tell me it is!

Yes, it's still railing and cold. In fact we've now reached gale force winds.

But... Mighty Goodfellaz and beer make for a great atmosphere! Fantastic! biggrin

We had a little bit of regret when we got back, only because we would miss the band (and the people of course)
But we are snuggled up next to a nice warm radiator under a lovely throw, so I can wait til BTaP for the next Goodfellaz fix biggrin

Pikey- did they get the lights working?

Did you come home too? I couldn't stand the thought of waking up soaking wet (from where our tent was just starting to leak), cold and with Trackside and myself both curled up in the middle of our blow up bed, which developed a puncture.

When I said I'd packed for all weathers, I didn't actually pack for El Nino!

Yeah - we cam home.

There's only so much you can do with a 6-year old, when it's cold and wet and windy.

And did not fancy our tent being used as the centrepeice of the post-party rendevous, at 01:30 in the morning, when we've been asleep (with said 6-year old).

At least tonights music would be a million times better than last nights hehe

We stuck it out overnight, with every guy-rope double-pegged and some spare ones too, but I confess that it was mainly due to not wanting to break camp in the wind, rain and failing light.

The band were bloody brilliant, as ever, but I did miss a lot of them sitting just inside Tyrells having a long chat with Garlick and acting as doorman for every person who wanted to come through that fire-door from the tent every few seconds. rolleyesbiggrin

Really impressed with the band this year, they were fantastic.

Nice drum solo too; don't think the "authorities" were impressed...

What was that? I saw someone go up and talk to them mid-set, but thought nothing of it.

A massive thanks to The Mighty Goodfellaz for putting on a fantastic performance for us all on Sunday night. You are sounding better than ever and your set was spot on. I'd like to see you do Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills. It was a great ending to the weekend.

Even if the band had been utterly crap (which they definitely weren't), they were worth their weight in gold just for the moment when they shifted into "I predict a riot" when the security guard tried to tell them they had to stop! laugh

hehe You've Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party was quite appropriate as well! biggrin


Phatmann Bassman and co tell me that when they were told to stop, they were horrified. For a start they had been booked until 12, but they were also having a really good time despite the cold, and liked the fact we seemed to be enjoying it to! It was a really good performance. thumbup
