Thursday Night

[paulwa]

She Keeps Bees website lists them as playing EOTR on Thursday 1st Sept, but you can never be certain at this stage.

I tweeted Darren Haymen to see if he was playing as i loved his (and AD's) Thursday night set last year so much. He said 5 years in a row was probably enough...Maybe we should get a petition to ensure his return!

Pram town is one of my favourite songs ever! I second the petition x

[swashbubbler]

Last years surprise line up was fantastic but it's a lot to ask for every year unless the bands cannot play the festival "proper" for some reason. I think it would be great if some bands played twice, Thursday night and again over the weekend, like Allo Darlin last year. That said hoping for Darren Hayman and British Sea Power.

oh my, I wish someone else would have started the petition, but now do me the favor, head over to the facebook-page of EOTR and like my posting...

thanks, sue.

I say we bring guitars and make our own music!

(I can play two Mountain Goats songs reasonably well....)

[bennyhana22]

Please let there be bands!

[perfectpassion]

I will let you into a secret, Ben onced graced the stage in a heavy metal band, complete with a leather jacket and long swinging hair.....

Actually I just realised that if I replied to all the other posts those bloody "tickets wanted" posts would go to page 2

I hope there isn't anything on Thursday, because it's advertised as a Friday to Sunday event.

I'm up for a campfire singalong. I will of course be bringing a guitar and (to the chagrin of some) a uke - as will hopefully others. So we'll have some firewood too

BUT DO YOU KNOW ANY MOUNTAIN GOATS SONGS?

[Fareham Grecian]

It is done (I was bored).

[perfectpassion]

I don't understand why wyou would NOT want some entertainment to be laid on on Thursday night...unless you weren't getting there until Friday. It's like saying I hope there's nothing going on at Glastonbury until the Friday.

For my part I'm hoping there's some nice, quiet, reflective artist on in the Tipi on Thursday night, so we can get told off for talking at the back again.

Cos it takes hours to erect the Mansion, sorry tent... and actually I would quite like to catch up with all the lovely people...

I hope there's nothing going on at Glastonbury till 2012, am sick to death of hearing about it!

[perfectpassion]

Yes Thanks Matt for pointing out another of my errors!

Well it is listed as a 3 day festival, and I am grateful that by opening on the Thursday night I can avoid an early morning dash around the M25 or having to pay for accomodation in Salisbury. I think it would be rude to expect Simon & Sofia to lay on entertainment for us as well.

Having said that the cynic in me realises that by opening on the thursday night to campers it dissipates the extra traffic that another 3,500 people will cause arriving to the site on a friday morning!

[Fat_Buddha]

So, will there be anyone on, or not?

[zahidf]

Junip have self confirmed haven't they?

Also, British Sea Power are playing a semi-acoustic gig at lexington Septmeber 8th to promote the book. They could be in for a shot for a slot as well i reckon...

[ljsawyer]

Yeah, Junip self-confirmed and we think The Cornshed Sisters and Among Brothers will also be playing the Thursday.

British Sea Power sounds like a good shout as it looks like they're playing a festival about 2 miles away from my house on the Saturday of EOTR (since when has Ecchinswell of all places had a festival?!). So yeah, fingers crossed!

[perfectpassion]

Does anyone have a helicopter that could do some ariel shots of the site next monday/tuesday? I need to know where to pitch up for the drink on thursday night

[zahidf]

A few rumours that Herman Dune will be making an appearance
