Bestival

[DrTre]

Anyone from here going?
maserspyder is a usual suspect (I didn't go last year which, in hindsight, I'm most fked off about)

Been the last couple of years but I'll probably give it a miss this year as it's the weekend we get back from hols.

really narked about last year, the lineup looked ace

Went on the Friday last year. Highlights were Ed Sheeran, ABC and Blondie.

I was never a fan of ABC but their set was truly memorable and as for Blondie, well, I never saw them live in their heyday but Clem Burke had just received his honorary doctorate from the University of Gloucestershire and they were superb.

trying to convince mrs envy at the moment, I believe plotloss is chomping at the bit

will be meeting up with him in a couple of weeks, hopefully he can help me twist her arm

eta - have they still got the stages at the top of the hill? watching kraftwerk was interesting seeing as all the music was passing about 20ft over everyone's head further down the hill

I've always wondered, is Clem Burke rated as a drummer? I've always thought he was brilliant but I'm not a drummer (I've got GCSE's you see) so I don't know.

SE, I don't know if you go to the London drinks thing (not DD's) but if so I will see you next month.

[sleep envy]

London drinks or thread drinks? linky pls

I'm giving DD's a bit of a wide berth atm, I can't deal with hangovers and work at the same time as I've got a little too much on my plate these days

It sounds/looks a little hardcore for me at the moment too.

This one, more of a catch all spin off of the other thread, from what I gather.
