Our family wedding, due on the 2nd January near Scarborough, a year late, looks like it’s going ahead, despite everything including the bride trying to cancel a week ago as restrictions seemed inevitable (The hotel refused to give the money back hence its still on). Only 4 out of 40 guests have dropped out, for obvious reasons. It’s difficult to believe it’s really happening, and since the postponement a year ago twins were born and the mother nearly died due to complications, but now everyone is well. Added excitement is my son on guitar/vocals is playing the music and I’m the wedding photographer so 2022 is going to begin for us with great enjoyment and positivity!

I guess it will be harder for some, with the ticket balance payment due a month earlier than previously, early March may be difficult to decide for those still nervous. Positive is it hopefully increases the chances of those on efestivals waiting for the resale.

Yeah, sad, only 66.

It is, music taste is subjective so that’s all there is to say. Uncontroversially Ted Nugent is the loudest man in rock. When I saw him I was standing near the speakers. It was seriously difficult to keep upright.

It would be interesting to see the stats on average range over the last 20 years. I’d guess it’s a little older now? Certainly before the fence it was probably a lot younger? it’s a great festival by attracting all age groups, and catering for almost all music and arts tastes, but I do think it’s a serious issue if the average age is growing, as it would be only a matter of time before it’s viewed as less attractive for the young and then it’s reputation may fade.

Seems to imply they're running out of ideas?

Lovely. I think some of the placemats are my photos. Doubly-lovely!
-
For sure the announcements, more interested in the less obvious so whatever's on at West Holt or Avalon or The Park. Beyond that watching the fence being built, knowing we are nearly there...

I'm booking a Pink Floyd/Deep Purple double-header for my garden...

Yes, for gigs. Festivals I've got 3 now so I definitely don't want any more in 2022. Bearded Theory, Glastonbury, WOMAD. Gigs I've found recently with all the hassle of daily life - I'm enjoying them less than I'd expect. I'm not concerned to be in such environments, just my optimism to keep going has taken such a battering I'm exhausted! Most of what I've got coming up are on the endless cycle of postponements and rescheduling. Only really new one is Wet Leg.

The eFests Album of The Year 2021 - List Submission Thread
Avalon_Fields replied to found home in 2009's topic in Chat
Mdou Moctar’s album is fantastic, I should have had it on my list. -
After the black & red White Stripes now we have the black & blue Jack
-
I understand the very fast rise of omicron may mean it falls quicker too. Undoubtedly January will be bad but hopefully there’s a big improvement in time for Glastonbury to prepare with reasonable confidence. Worth noting big festivals such as Reading/Leeds did happen without many issues. So I’ll be less optimistic than before but still believe. 90%
-
So, what went wrong and how was it fixed? Is it now future-proofed? congrats to both of you
-
It amuses me to think we get our National & World news via Efestivals. To hell with Sky, BBC, Facebook etc etc

My life is complete again!

I’m not sure, so many of the popular rock bands of a similar era have either never played or not at the level their popularity might warrant: AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Genesis, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Bon Jovi, Rush, The Police, Queen, Guns n Roses, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Thin Lizzy, RHCP, etc. I’m not advocating that all these bands should have played, plenty I’m not bothered about, but I’ve always thought there is a bit of a bias against this type of music.

Very good idea, especially as I went haywire during lockdown and have way too many gigs. Happy to give these single tickets to any takers: O Sees Liverpool 10 Nov Black Country New Road Liverpool 3 Dec

He set the bloody dog on me! Vicious animal!
-
That was funny! You should have said you were the ‘Secret Thingy’. I’ll try not to be a stalker next year.
-
It’s ok I remain a fan too. Loved the last album and seeing them in July
-
I have one ticket for O Sees on the 10th November, at the Invisible Wind Factory, Liverpool. I can't go now, if anyone wants it please DM me. I'll give away for free or any contribution.
-
Moontan. What an album!
-
Funnily enough I’m working at my local venue for the upcoming Focus gig. I love them. Gentle Giant are an eclectic taste to say the least. Try Octopus or Freehand. I’m expecting you’ll hate them!!
-
True, for me. I used to not talk about old music on here as it shows my age. But now I just think fuck it I’m glad I’m old enough to have seen Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, The Clash, etc.
