[No Direction Home and Complete Wasters]

Your team did an absolutely fantastic job at NDH. Utterly impressed on how clean the whole place was. Completewasters rule!

[Ticket sales slower this year ?]

The EOTR team have to be given credit for putting on NDH. It was critically acclaimed and its reputation can only grow. Maybe EOTR needs to scale back a little if the festival bubble has finally burst or even alternate every other year with NDH if that really does take off (hope it stays on the intimate side). There seemed to be plenty of people at NDH that appreciated not having to slog all the way to Dorset so there is a bit of a dilution effect there. Still, EOTR gets very good press and all us fans can keep the word of mouth vibe going.

Hail to the bop

[final announcement]

As far as I'm concerned the line-up is already superb. Great mix of familiar old sounds and plenty of new stuff to discover. Have EOTR to thank for Lanterns on the Lake and Midlake entering my life last year. Hope I would be forgiven for banging on about Django Django but they would be the perfect act to lift the woods stage ahead of Coxon. Are the lads otherwised engaged. I'll happily go all out as one-man marketing machine if that happened. The world needs to Hail Bop!

[Django Django after NDH (Fri 15th Cambridge)]

DD put on a great set at NDH and there should be a real vibe at St. Pauls Centre tonight. If you see a small badger lady in a dark blue NDH t-shirt, say hello to us both.

[No Direction Home - post-festival thoughts...]

Following the complete, unadulterated joy of 3 relaxing days at NDH, it would have been criminal not to have joined the conversation and express my thanks to all involved in putting it on.

After arriving at around 1pm on Friday and queued in the traffic for probably not much over half an hour I had wondered if the organisation was a little bit haphazard similar to my arrivals at the last 2 EOTR. Pleased to say again, I was totally wrong and the security / stewarding was just having to deal with the circumstances and were actually friendly / helpful / well on the case. All the staff, whether volunteers or professional, were so friendly but were clearly sticking to their respective jobs to deliver an experience that kept up the highest of EOTR standards.

Cheers to everyone
