Guy Garvey was on Sunday brunch & said Elbow weren't playing this year but he would be there as a punter. Of course, he could have been lying! 🙂

I've been laid up with the flu for a few days, so I somehow missed this tragic news. I saw him on Avalon at my last Glastonbury in 2017. As a kid I loved Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel more than Bowie and Bolan. Having a listen to him now with a glass or two of rum & shedding a tear.

Live gigs - Who you've seen were they good, bad etc.

The Hold Steady last night in Campden Electric Ballroom - fantastic as usual - I genuinely don't think there's a better live band on the planet. Having said that, I didn't think the sound in the Ballroom was as good as usual. Didn't stop me absolutely loving it though. -
Billy Bragg x 4: Leftfield (obvs) Pyramid Acoustic Toad Hall Actually 5 if you include the brief appearance on Park with the tribute to Jo Cox.

Echo & the Bunnymen tonight at Gloucester Guildhall. 8th time I've seen them & it will definitely be the last! Played for 25 minutes, then f**ked off for 20 minutes. Eventually came back on & Mac mumbled incoherently for 5 minutes between each song. When they actually played they were alright. Shame as they used to be one of the best live bands around. -
In that case, she should be buried! 😀

I know it's only February, but if there's a better TV show than True Detective: Night Country this year I'll be amazed! Fantastic.
-
No, just the Friday. I was potless when the tickets came out & by the time I had money, the Friday was all that was left. Just as well as it turned out as it's my grandson's first birthday party on the Saturday & I couldn't miss that - not even for The Hold Steady!
-
Are you going to all 3 nights?
-
I like the new Idles - not sure I love it yet - maybe after a few more listens? Pretty sure I'm never gonna love it as much as 'Joy' though. The new Grandaddy though - absolutely gorgeous. A bit one-paced, but I bloody love it!
-
Only the 3 at the moment:- Echo & the Bunnymen - 2 weeks today. The Hold Steady - 3 weeks time. End Of The Road festival - end of August

If that clashfinder is close to right, I'm going to have the hardest choices I've ever had in 16 EOTR's :- NewDad / Bonnie Prince Billy Slowdive / Sleater Kinney Gruff Rhys / Lisa O'Neill Camera Obscura / Sprints Idles / Lankum f**k me, it's over 6 months away & I'm having panic attacks! 😃
-
Finally got round to listening to NewDad & Sprints - both excellent.
-
Do we have to be respectful of Tory politicians on this thread? If so, I'm out! 😉
-
Exactly this. I actually quite like it if there's a day when there's no headliner I want to see - I can wander through the enchanted woods, enjoy some of the great food & drink, sit by the fire & chat to fellow festival goers. It won't be the case this year though - I'm spoilt for choice with the headliners! Apologies to everyone if I came across as snarky - I've been given a sh*t job to do at work & I'm in a bad mood!
-
Actually, although I may have come across as the ultimate Idles fanboy - I've only ever seen them at EOTR & wouldn't pay to see them on their own tour. I just got annoyed with people saying "what a great lineup, but why the f**k are Idles there."
-
I have no issue with people saying they don't like an act. What I do have an issue with is people saying "they shouldn't have been booked ", which a few people have.
-
Ffs, it's just one act out of over 100 acts announced! There's a few acts announced that I have zero interest in seeing - same as every single year. I don't come on here to "express disappointment " just 'cos I don't like them! It's pathetic. Curate your own festival if you want to love every single act on the bill.
-
I agree. It does seem like music snobbery. Comments like "great lineup, except for Idles ", makes people sound like spoilt brats - "how dare they sign up a band I don't like!" If you don't like them, go do something else instead. No-one's forcing you to watch them. You can't possibly love every single act on the lineup!
-
More than happy with that! Headline clashes galore - I want to see all of them! Can I divide my body in 2 so I can be at Woods & Garden at the same time? 😃
-
Haven't got a machine gun handy so decided to give it a miss 😀

I've been on a 4 day week since my heart attack 3 years ago. I'm poorer but much happier. Hoping to drop to a 3 day week after my 60th at the end of this year.

He'd be General Melchett - miles from the action & ordering millions to certain death! The fat useless public school c**t!!!
