I only Left Handed Flange the once and they were fantastic live - (reminded me of Brakes live)

However sadly I'm pretty sure that Left Handed Flange are no longer playing.

Thier guitarist (and main creative force) (Freddie?) went on an extended vacation in Australia and ended up working for a sheep farmer and has never returned.

LHF then underwent a name change to "Eh" and have never really recovered.

Their keyboard player and drummer are working as a due on a cruise ship and when the band split their singer Christophe returned to working as an Accountant.

But yes Frogworthy - good choice - But you ever know - they may reuninte for a special festival?

No you're not and it would be my minor whinge about last year's Latitude (didn't go this year so apologies if very different). I am SURE that there would be plenty of people up for a 'proper' dance tent for some late night steam-letting-off after the bands finish. I am pretty sure that there would have been much less dancing and enthusiasm for the Saturday night Big Top sets if it hadn't been for the celebrity of the disc-spinners...

You say that Spare Room are probably too weird but I think the EOTR crowd are pretty liberal minded people so I'd like to think that they would appreciate something a little different.

I remember I saw Spare Room once and the drummer had brought along his dog (which looked a bit like an Irish Wolfhound) and sat it on the stage. Anyway halfway through a number the drummer and his dog started a staring contest with each other. Obviously the dog was used to this and just stared back but the problem was this was in the middle of the song and basically everything stopped until the staring competition was won (the dog did). This is typical of the way the Band stops halfway though a song if they are getting bored with it and start another one. Problem is that their sets can be quite shambolic and also short at times but at least its' different!

I was actually at the gig you mention and to this day I reckon that the dog was stuffed - no wonder it won a staring contest. Mind you, what they did with those venician blinds during the encore was mind blowing. Do you really think that the EOTR crowd are ready for that sort of thing?

Nailed on cert, I reckon. Teitur.

Just seen him at Cluny 2, absolutely stunning. Missed the strings from Latitude but the 4-piece band filled the gaps admirably. Perversely he is touring to support the release of his compilation album 'All My Mistakes' which features pre-'The Singer' material, not released in the UK.

I did tell him he would be playing EOTR next year and he didn't disagree, though, tbf, he had never heard of it. The Faroes must count as Scandinavian, surely?"?

The Cluny has a 'real cider' festival on at the moment so, to be honest, I am a bit hammered.

Smokey Angle Shades

Seen em twice now and they are a hoot, a rollicking unwashed parcel of rogues with lots of blarney and lots of tunes, like the Beach Boys if they had Steve Harley and maybe Chas’n’Dave in them.

And I still haven’t seen Micachu & the Shapes live yet. That would be good.
