  1. Ask the band while they're signing merch
  2. We’ve stayed in an air bnb the last two years, easy to get out and easy enough to get back in. You’ll end parking a long way away. One thing we learned is to have summat noticeable poking up off the car making it easier to find. our now adult nippers still camp. Last year we were taking one back to Bristol and made the poor bugger meet us at 7 am. Security wouldn’t let us in. And they were pretty unpleasant and aggressive about it too.
  3. I gave up om twitter a few months back and in doing so got rid of loads of good tips for bands to see upcoming tours, records to listen to, all that. There were some great people with great recommendations. Can’t remember any of ‘em. so, any recommendations for good music related threaders?
  4. The beauty of this festival is the sheer range and number of high quality acts on all stages, right from the off, every day, many of whom you’d have no chance of seeing otherwise. Not to mention the ambience and all the peripheral stuff. It’s a bloody bargain.
  5. I’m never bothered with the headliners, a.though it will be nice to see Wilco sober. Me, not them. Nothing wrong with the Green Man line up but it’s very safe. EOTR is much more interesting. The more I listen to the many bands I’m unfamiliar with, the more I’m looking forward to the festival. Simply, Simon has done it again.
  6. Cracking review that, apart from the dissing of country music
  7. Marling, headlined the Garden a few years ago, with a pashmina wrapped around her bonce. Looked like a Nigella Lawson garden party.
  8. Stella Donnelly was great last time, funny as hell, and her new record is getting universally good reviews
  9. Missed Cassandra Jenkins so she can come back please. Ezra Furman, Cass McCombs, Andrew Combs, and a bit more folk and country please. That’s two pleases.
  10. Away from others, who may not wish to share your habit. There’s plenty of space
  11. The lightning was the perfect end to the Aldous Harding set.
  12. THE GOOD The bogs, dunno if I was lucky but every one I used was clean or cleanish and in full working order. The new stall doing spuds. The beer The bands. All the bands. I don’t know how or where I would be able to see such a crazily eclectic range of high quality performers, all day, every day. Low dickhead count. THE BAD Fella we sold a ticket to for 100 quid on Thursday not coughing up was disappointing. Still, hope he had a nice time. We all deserve a nice time. Security kid at car park at about half seven who decided to play silly buggers and not let us in to pick our nipper up. EOTR steward sorted it out amicably enough though. Hot tip…..the pick up point you see in the second field isn’t in operation on Monday morning. Also, if returning to site to pick offspring up, don’t bother before 8, which was when the nice stewards turned up. THE UGLY There wasn’t any ugly.
  13. Someone mentioned weather pro as being the most accurate……it’s predicting 4.4 mm rain on Friday morning. Is that a lot?
  14. Golden Dregs we’re a highlight last year. As for chatterboxes, plenty of em at EOTR, and more prevalent every year
