FTR Jaya ripped the place up. A two hour set reduced the capacity crowd to a sweating, half naked field of happy, smiley faces

Lamb of God playing Leeds Academy in January..... oh yes. We're there !

I was going to watch Joe Pug in September. Now I am supporting Joe Pug in September.

If anyone wants to form an Airplane style queue to calm me down by slapping me, do it.

Nice one Ski!

We were dead cheeky and emailed the promoter asking if they had a support. Sometimes you have to make your own luck.

They were rather good at Rebellion too.

Sorely tempted to go see Art Brut in Wakey next week. Undecided...

Anti Nowhere League , Scarborough in Nov.

Went to see Art Brut at the adelphi in hull on sunday. Very good gig. Seem them about 6/7 times in their 10years. Eddie Argos still on top form and had the fans in the palm of his hand.
Only issue for me was they pretty much played the first two albums and a few from the last two. They haven't progressed from there.
Still a great gig 9/10 from me. I went with someone who didn't know them but she loved it and was laughing at his banter with the crowd and his ramblings

Take your wellies and flip flops! And get there early!

I went last in 2007 when it was the floods so I know all about the welly situation. Standing in Mud deeper than your wellies is pretty horrible. Flip Flops never needed them!! Plan on getting there earlyish on the Wednesday. Stay over in Bristol on the tuesday. Might as well make the most of it

Five nights on deflating air beds, mud up to your eyeballs, noises gits enjoying themselves all night! What's fun about that?


My last year this one, too old for too much fun!

Saw CHVRCHES in Manchester last night. Good night apart from a bunch of bellends in front of me who couldn't handle their drink and insisted on talking over almost the whole set bar about three songs!



Slightly in love with lead singer, Lauren Mayberry...



Got tickets for Woodkid in London next month which should hopefully be pretty special seeing as he's got the BBC Concert Orchestra in tow.

Also bought tickets for The Dear Hunter in Manchester in March next year.
