pie_and_a_pint

Such sad news. Might dig out my Frightened Rabbit flag and listen to Woodpile on repeat.

Great idea!

I'm a beer (wo)man and this will be my first Green Man (and my first festival for several years as a punter not crew) so am really looking forward to it!

I'd love to see him play, but I do think a headliner feels more appropriate that the Sunday oldies slot. He's got too much material for a start.

Happy 2018 all! May it pass speedily and onwards to the next year when we shall meet in a field.

Hi Folks Thanks for the great advice. Just to let you know (for future reference / helpfulness to anyone searching 'Frome' on this forum) I stayed in the George last night. Room was chintzy but very comfortable, breakfast was really good and I ate dinner there too as was too bloody cold to go out anywhere else. Fab fish pie, very good beer, great staff. Garden Cafe VVVVVVVVV good for coffee and cake. Cheese and Grain - OMG! What a fab venue. I cannot believe the Foos played there... it's so... small!

Fuck it. I always assumed he'd play the Legend slot at some point soon.

Yes, definitely. Fairly soon - long enough that the 'comeback tour' feels like it's worth it but not so long that Jon Boden loses his looks

Booked some driving lessons. Dragging all my kit on the train is just too much now I'm there for 8 days. There are other, important, work-related reasons that I need to drive as well, but being able to take myself and my stuff to festivals more easily is a definite consideration.

The best place to buy a latte was Proper Coffee at Williams Green.

What about Penistone? Or Twatt (Shetland)? Or Twatt (Orkney)?

I was standing up. Yes, I'm that fucking short

Apparently I've been pie_and_a_pint since April 2008. I was something else connected to an ancient Hotmail account before then (from just before the 2003 festival) but I can't remember what and I don't think I ever posted because I was scared!

Exactly the same issue in the Acoustic Tent. Slopes up to the stage; short people at the back can't see. (I wonder what the Venn diagram is of people who visited both venues at this year's festival?)

Seems totally fair *thumbs up*
