richall Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 First time of seeing stereophonics they blew my mind my top band for weekend, also reverend and the makers for the great atmosphere , the coral were brilliant Sunday night of the smaller bands enjoyed stillia massive potential and the shimmer band but that was a complete waste putting them on at 3.15 on Thursday afternoon should have been in calling out over the weekend, last year I spent most my time in calling out this year only watched Palace wasn't too bothered about them and the coral wished I would have watched the hunna tho instead of Manics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfield Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Franz Ferdinand for me! but i expected this. saw a band of very young lads in calling out though called Freak - they made a lot of noise!! in a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincoveces05 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Yeah, really liked Freak, can see them doing quite well in future Highlight of the weekend for me was probably Sonny Fodera at the WKD place, shame there was a bit of sound bleed from the main stage but i'd imagine it would have been the same the other way round as well. Even ended up buying a couple of WKD despite being male and over the age of 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robskyd Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Just to name a few... Off Bloom, Reverend and the Makers, Ady Sulieman, Editors, Kurupt FM, Palace and I was really suprised how much I enjoyed Lethal Bizzle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowther Calling Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thingumabob and the Thingamajigs! Were amazing as always, we hung around at the end as my boy (8) wanted to say thank you and got a CD! Made his weekend. Slaves were quality and a good injection of something quicker paced.

4AssedMonkey Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Manics were good, Frank T (obv.) but best act on main stage for me were Feeder. Great set and I was singing and dancing my fat ass off. Away from the main stage, stumbled on a new band called Litany in Jagerhaus. They were really good. Dreamy but dancy, great female vocal and a kid who looked like Harry Potter on keyboard who's Dad was watching them for the first time.

Robofish Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Me: Manics Wife: Gallowstreet (Chai Wallah) Son: Tinie Tempah We also all laughed like drains at many of the comedians. Could have done with better weather, but loved it. Seemed like all the brass players in The UK were in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerchick Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Loved loved loved Happy Mondays. Reverand and the Makers were fab. New bands I really enjoyed The Shimmer Band, Fickle Friends. Gypsies of Bohemia got Chai Wallah bouncing. And two we just stumbled on by walking past the calling out stage and hearing them were Outlya, and an absolutely great voice of Jess Kemp, Her and her band were just fantastic. Again, enjoyed Calling out stage, the woodlands, carvetti and chai wallah much better than the main stage acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyfletcher Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Did Badly Drawn Boy do anything this year? I saw him up at Tim Peaks, so was wondering if he did a dj set or something that i may have not heard about, or guess couldahve just been there as a punter.

Yeah, late Friday/early hours of Sat. A guy drumming and a bloke spinning the decks. Pretty good as I recall but I'd blown it by then, so wouldn't be a credible witness.....

Curlygirl Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I cried real life happy tears during Jake Bugg and Stereophonics but I think that was more to do with being in my happy place. Loved The Pale White, I'd never heard of them before but wow, they have such stage presence. I'm also a little bit in love with the Editors Geezer! @Comfy Bean I'd quite like to see Sigrid, Christine and Lorde after only catching part sets of them at Glasto. All of them were brilliant and something really quite special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howling Tramp Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Mexrrissey were something to see. Main stage left me a bit disappointed from what I saw but slaves did their thing well. In the calling out I liked Honeyblood (once they got over their tech issues) but I think the highlight for me was the pale white. They were excellent.

The links worked as soon as I clicked over to desktop. Thursday was one video rather than individual sets, but that's all I need. There's no sub forum for it, bit I'm standing in the queue for Party at the Palace. I'm here with my daughter.l so it won't be a drunken festival. We've got Kaiser Chiefs, Ash and The Lightening Seeds as today's main bands. I've never seen Ash before, but the Kaiser Chiefs are always great.

Port-a-loo Pete Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Lot's of greats sets to choose from I thought . . Editors, DMA's, Mexrissey, Fickle Friends, Honeyblood to name a few but the highlight of the festival for me was Loyle Carner in the Calling Out, the kid is super talented.
