  1. For four or five years, Larmer Tree was a brilliant festival for me and my young son, Olly, to head off to.. We both had some wonderful times there; everyone was so friendly and Olly still talks about the day that he held a young girls hand, only to realise that he'll never see her again!!

    But things have had to change. Olly's now 12. I can't afford tickets for the both of us, especially when there are festivals out there who have entrance for under 13's free.

    It'll always hold a great place in our hearts and I'm not saying that we'll never go back again but that rush to get Larmer Tree tickets seems to have passed for me (and many others as they've not sold out yet!!)

  2. OBS acts won't be announced until start of July as that's when the final's taking place...

    First heat is on May 1st and then six more heats, two semi finals and a final...

    Some really interesting line ups being scheduled for the heats this year (including My Kid Brother who appeared on National TV with John Barrowman and McFly at the weekend)!!!!

  3. the tipi 'field' has become rather exclusive too

    dunno what to think really. These people must have paid something for the 'special facilities' and if it means helping the festival with some of it's costs, then I s'pose it's ok. It's stupidly expensive for what you get though, those prices are per person, so for ten people in the Montana, it'll be £8,450!!!!.. in a tent... without any extras (that's your ticket not included either)!!!..

    there's a couple of other options like this too now, isn't there?

    In an ideal world, it wouldn't be happenin'....

  4. Funny you mention this Phil...

    My Australian second cousin was over a few weeks ago bending Richard's ear about the strength of the 'New Zealand Dub' scene... i didn't pay much attention until we were out driving in my car and she played me a couple of tracks by Fat Freddy's drop... I can see that they'd be ideal as well.

  5. Played the excellent Summer Sundae festival last year on the Rising Stage.... decent sized crowd bouncing and euphoric by the end... certainly would try and see them again at Glastonbury if they were there...

  6. Says they're playing the Saturday before the Charlatans, so it's a very real, and very fantastic, possibility.

    Really interesting announcement, I agree. Most looking forward to Micachu & The Shapes, whose album is genuinely like nothing else around at the moment, a complete mess of electronic pop. 65daysofstatic make an immense sound live, and the Noisettes are a far more hyper live band than they've managed on record.

  7. That's a really good announcement...

    Particularly happy about the Noisettes.... Jamie, the drummer, has been to the festival two years out of the last three (drumming with Fionn Regan and Dawn Landes) and he's said to me both times how he's love for his 'proper' band to play the festival....

    Qemists have been getting a lot of decent press and I loved their track on a word CD a few months ago..

    James Yuill's album of last year really got me hooked after a few listens...

    Not an act in that list that I wouldn't want to see - problem is I know I won't be able to see all of them...

  8. On the one of our bands is also a bit nuts front.....

    Could it be Goldie Lookin' Chain???? Note that they're playing a couple of other festivals (Camp Bestival for one) this summer and it sounds like the sort of way they'd describe themselves (and then there was that tune about your missus being a nutter!!!)

    Are we definite that the Heavenly reference is about the label? It could just be a reference to the fantastic band 'Stars'... If it's them, then I'd be very very happy..

    Could the bit scientific reference be for The Chemistry Set...

  9. I went to the Nottingham gig a couple of weeks ago...

    Missed Florence but heard good things.... White Lies absolutely stole the show... they're not really my thing but their sound was much much better than the other acts on that night... Friendly Fires and Glasvegas both enjoyable but not firing on all cylinders I'd say..
