Was that the same year that they kept running out of ale in the Woodlands bar? I think I foolishly went for the Jaipur X and didn't even have the sense to just by a half!

Mmm, Korean chicken, Tibetan Kitchen, Spanish street food sound like my sort of thing. And Truly Crumptious for a late night snack.

Thanks, I did wonder but didn't really have time to check (meant to be working!)

f**k! Hadn't realised that Future Islands and NMA would clash! Well, at least overlap.

As an aside, but related I guess, I can't believe it is May next week!

That's exactly what I thought. Difficult to believe I know!

Looking forward to Leftfield - there's usually a few gems in there. Also usually find a few new acts to like at Strummerville.

Thanks. I do remember now but I wasn't sure if it was the usual conspiracy theories that circulate when people don't get tickets. Our group did well but not through this as I know it was different people who got through at different times.

Can you tell me exactly what it was as I just assumed that this was bollocks (and can't remember what the story was now?)

But the 200 people are trying for 200 tickets. It's not as though 200 people are trying for 1 person. But I realise that could happen.

Probably better location for catching passing trade but I like where it has been for the last few years - it felt more intimate somehow because people searched it out.

Yeah once January is over (and that lasts about 6 months I swear!), the year flies by!

Strummerville on Thursday night for me (yeah it is music strictly, but so much more). A nice spot on the sofa, speaking to random people, watch the lighting of the fire. And boom - three hours have passed!

Yes I feel much the same. Though am interested to see what Strummerville and Leftfield have to offer. Oh and Rimski's Yard which I loved last year. But I am already feeling I have enough to keep me happy.

No it's a pleasant enough journey to be honest! Got butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it! I opted for general ticket and National Express this time so I know I'm on a 1030 coach - nice and civilised but still get there to pitch the tent and enjoy Wednesday afternoon. It definitely feels like it's getting close now!

Yeah and also do their research so they don't think they can buy 4 tickets in the coach resale (I've seen a lot of this on FB tonight).

Bit more than that usually and usually a stop at Gloucester Services to hand out tickets too.

Could your babysitter sleep over at yours Wednesday/Thursday so they and your toddler can just stay in bed when you leave if you have an early coach?

I'm old fashioned then and proud of it. I find him very entertaining.

I'm listening to my Avalon playlist and Frank came on. Immediately put a smile on my face and chair dancing while working on a boring report for work. He's not someone I listen to much but when I do, he immediately cheers me up. And really enjoyed his set at Bearded Theory far more than I even expected. Looking forward to him at Strummerville on Thursday night as in 2019!

Bloody love them, such a feel good set. Everyone should try to see them if they can. I defy anyone to watch them and not have a good time. I suspect they will be popping up all over the place.

That's the sort of detail that can make or break whether it's worth seeing someone. You can't get a feel for it just listening to them on Spotify so it's always good to hear about audience engagement. Thanks. My playlist is here - nothing fancy, just the top 5 songs of each artist. Might edit the Baby Queen ones if they're not the ones you mention (I haven' checked yet).

I hadn't heard of Baby Queen until today either. But I've had a quick listen and certainly don't dislike her and may like her more with more listens. Interesting to hear that Kaboom has seen her many times and she was excellent each time so may well try to see her. In fact of the playlist I've put together for Avalon, there's nothing I dislike at all so far. As I said, a very solid line up.

No idea - just thought she might be worth seeing, based on nothing at all really!

No not headlining, just first on the poster as it's in alphabetical order.
