  1. Superb. I need a footwear-related retort!
  2. It’s so hard to really answer this, but personally I think that they could given their history with the festival and their appeal to a core part of the festivals demographic. They probably wouldn’t appeal much to the under 35s, but big chunks of the SE Corner or Silver Hayes don’t appeal to the over 35s either. Not everything has to appeal to everyone. Saying that they have sold a lot of tickets for their shoes since they came back. More than some acts who people would consider consider dead cert headliners…
  3. Massive fan of the BBC in general and in particular what they do for emerging and live music. However I do feel a bit uneasy about permanently basing the 6Music festival in Manchester. Firstly, I wonder what impact it has on smaller venues and promotors in the city (why bother competing with a promoter that can advertise itself ad infinitum o your potential audience for free)? Secondly it is not as if Manchester is short of gigs to go to… It’s a real pity that the BBC doesn’t use its marketing heft and budget to bring gigs to places that otherwise wouldn’t get acts at this level. The increasing cost of transport/hotels mean that these type of gigs are now out of reach for huge swathes of the population.
  4. Although I seem to recall that PJ Harvey had a much bigger crowd than LCD (huge amount of melting away when she finished!)
  5. Do I remember someone saying that there were some more significant acts to be announced? If so when do we think that will be? Cheers!
  6. That would be horrific. A big part of the experience for a lot of people is really digging in to the line-up and discovering new bands. I also wonder if it would reduce the attractiveness of the festival to up and coming artists. Why do the fest for a fraction of your usual fee if your opportunity to acquire new fans is severely reduced?
  7. I enjoyed the 2019 Chems show but I don't think that the audience really helped matters. Lot's of very loud talkers around us...
  8. I agree. I was too far back, amongst a pretty disinterested crowd, and the whole thing just felt so flat. I then saw (basically) the same show in Manchester a week later and had a great time.
  9. There is a lot to get excited about here. I’m very tempted to go for this one, but depends on a few more line-ups to be announced!
  10. Just looked it up and it appears you are right. Funny how the memory fades! https://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/glastonbury/2008/queenshead.shtml
  11. Yes indeed. Although I can’t recall there being too many bands there (could be wrong). More of an Indie disco I think
  12. They are very, very, good live. Saw them at End of the Road last year but had been a fan for a while. Did not disappoint. I would guess 3rd down at Woodsies
  13. Would be very up for seeing her!
  14. Because it felt original, participatory and slightly subversive then. Now it feels like a cost-cutting measure that has replaced a beloved stage.
