First time I've seen him live and thought he was brilliant! The sounds he was getting out of a one string guitar was amazing!!

i was the guy up on someones shoulders at the front of seasick steve, thing is id just got married and made plectrums (guitar picks) for the weding and have been a fan of steve for a while, anyways i eventually got them to him at the end but i wanna thank the guys at the front who were helping me to get his attention, stars everyone of you!!
steves set was the bizz!
i even got an autograph and a big hug from steve, hes a proper bluesman with all the milage required!
oh and if i blocked anyones view im sorry but im sure you must understand how much i wanted to get my plectrums to my hero!!!

Caught the last 15/20 mins. Amazing. Stayed back to see The National after. He was signing autographs and stuff. Poor turn out for The National.

was one of only three must see acts for me all weekend (along with The Raconteurs and Glasvegas) and was absolutely amazing. Dragged two mates in there promising that I would leave after 10mins to go see winehouse (blatant lie) and the three of us ended up staying there for the whole gig, missing winehouse in the process after stopping for a bufalo burger in healthy T.... They had never heard of him before but one of them nicked his album from my car on monday when i dropped him off. two more converts

Seasick steve followed by Justice hit every spot possible and the two alone are the best line up i have ever seen
Great to see originality at T.
Seasick may have went on a bit if he was longer than 45mins though

Had only seen him on jools holland on youtube before and went on a mates recommendation - one of my top 5! Had to miss the end for pendulum, but I'm tempted by the barras gig...

He was quite frankly amazing & the atmosphere in the tent was spot on. I went for a wander to the front before dancing my way back to where Treacle & Paul were standing & had a ball dancing around with happy smiling strangers

He was brilliant! had never heard his stuff before, but am a fan now.
When Seasick Steve said "Next person to throw a drink at me, am gona go down there and kick ur ass..................unless its whiskey!"
It was the dude infront of me that threw the drink at him.

Saw Seasick when he played the ABC in Glasgow earlier in the year so had to see him again at T talked 2 mates into going in and they werent dissapointed
Saw Darthpaul as I was stanging stage left and was also wondering what he was upto and now we know ...
Seasick and Rage were my highlights and also Beth Rowley who was great

Steve never dissapoints.
Saw him at Connect last year for the first time. Haven't missed him in Scotland yet. He is a great personality and its just great feel good music. Exactly what you want from a festival.
