How was Mr Avery on Friday night, anyone? We had to abandon things on Friday night (including Devo... arggh) due to the rain and I had intended seeing him.

Definitely agree with the comments on Far Out regarding the sound... one of the most noticeable was for Anna B Savage, although her and band did a fantastic job despite it! I was mainly between FO and Rising and comparing sounds got both, latter was much better - I know they are very different environments, but I hope GM can improve a little on FO as I do find myself there quite a lot. And having said this, everything was really enjoyable and it didn't really detract much at all.

Hi all, was looking for some help with a few clashes (based on clash-finder, depending on final timings) with some bands I haven't seen live and can't (and don't want to!) choose between. Just wondering what people might recommend if having seen them before. Here are the clashes: Lost Map vs Rogue Jones (thurs) (arghhg!) Spiritualised vs Bug Club (thurs) Sorry vs Eaves Wilder vs Butch Cassidy (Fri) Daniel Avery vs PVA (Fri) Water From your eyes vs Mandy, Indiana (Sat) James Holden vs MadMadMad There's a few others currently with some i've seen before, so guess i'll make the call on the day. Hoping there's a little bit of "shuffle" when the times come out to help. Thanks anyone for their recommendations!! Paul.
