I think the general thoughts of most last year was that it was a poor line up, myself included , howiver , i thought last year was the best Bella to date ,the crack was good the weather top of the pops and it sold out .Levellers and stornaway were outstanding .For me ,the festival gets better every year ,good to see stuff added like mothers ruin stage a couple o years ago and a few extra wee bars etc.The fitba stadium for the geets was a great addition also.
A comedy tent or stage would be a good addition .

Fit wid abody else like added to Bella ?

I would also like some comedy added.

I'd like better food for those on special diet, thought the food last year was pretty rank tbh. I think good food at a festival really makes a difference.

I hear Texas are reforming for a few festival dates this summer , nae really my cup of rosie but they would do a good enough job on main stage.

Neither are they mine any more, very good live band though and would be a great shout for headliner. (I ignored the obvious say what you want joke as well)

I'm going to see Endor and the Twilight Sad tonight, if I haven't called for them then I shall here and now.

I could scroll back, but to be honest all my energy went into withstanding that texas joke (my medal should be arriving soon).

[buckie-ramones]

Havent heard Endor but will look out for them .Twighlight sad albums are pretty impressive to my ears .
Hears a few tracks by the Decemberists from their new album , they would be welcome at Bella 11 with me any day !

Twiglight Sad were one of the most uncomfertable gigs I've ever been to.

I like loud, I play bass really loud, I've seen motorhead & leftfield and they are loud. I had my hearing checked 3 times before I was 30.

This is the first gig I've left early because it was too loud. I had plugs in, it was still loud. In fact when I put them in they did nothing to clean the sound, only made it less loud. It wasn't even the bass, it was everything. Looked at the sound desk and you could beat the rhythms off the last amber and the reds on everything.

I don't know if they were any good, I couldn't distinguish between any of the sound.

From my perspective last year was a good general line up that fell down a little in balance , with there being far more clashes on the Friday, and not enough alternatives to Amy MacDonald. My understanding is that there will be some changes and additions to the set up again this year (as there has been every year really).

Twilight Sad are excellent but yeah when they play live, it is sometimes a tad too loud.
