Turned up just as the previous band finished & walked straight up to the barrier, then watched them have a weird kind of stand off with the dj for what seemed like ages. the dj (the son of John Mayall) seemed to think everyone was there to see him, and the band were on stage raring to go.
Played an absolute blinder when they finally did get going, and at the end turned around and saw the place looked heaving.
Anyone else catch them?

I missed this, but Club Dada was a brilliant venue. Caught Pronghorn in there during a storm and had a right old mash up... it was MASSIVE in there. Not sure how I managed to not go in there last year!

Ah... HBE, what a breath of fresh air these guys are.
I caught them on the advertised Friday 6 o'clock spot at the Dance Lounge. If I'm honest it was one of only 3 badns I really wanted to catch and glad I did. Got there and some DJ set was still going on, eventually they buggered off and HBE came on about 15mins later. Only did 4-5 numbers though as the DJ set had over run (how can you over run playing some bloody records???).
Anyway, they were brilliant, only about a hundred of so people watching but it didn't matter they...er... Brassed! They mentioned another gig but I didn't know where it was going to be so when I heard after the event I was gutted.
Great bunch of lads, selling their CDs and greeting/meeting people afterwards. Personally seeing them made my festival, and what more all my mates who I dragged down now realise why I kept banging on about how good they were.
If you're around London this Saturday (18th) they're playing down the Shoreditch Festival, 6.15pm on the mian stage, I'll be catching them before hopping off down the Troxy to see Mozza.
Drum & Brass... it's the future.

You would have liked Smerins Antisocial Club as well
caught them in Chai Walla's around midnight on Friday (I think).
bit more eclectic musically, but did a brass/drum & bass mash up at the end and it was fantastic. Also had a guest female singer on at one point who did a spine tingling version of Nina Simone's Feeling Good

They were AMAZING. Had never heard of them either, just went on a friends recommendation.
So glad I did!

Did anyone catch my mates Trans Siberian Marching Band.. They played the random bandstand in the middle of Shangri La on Friday at 1 and then Club DaDa on Sunday but at the same time as Blur et al so it was empty :-(
They ruled though :-)
