Missing Banksy's hmmm.
1995, first year that there was a dance tent provided by a Bristol posse. Banksy painted a big thing on a wall made of eight or ten sheets of ply. It was wet at the dance tent at the end of the festival, the tent being at the bottom of the valley. There was mud.
A mate of mine , who is often with me at the festival, along with various others tore the wall down and laid it on the ground to make a road. Initially to use as a track to roll PA gear out of the tent and then to drive over in their vehicles to exit the field.....
I don't recall FOB being bottled. I was there in 2006 which I believe was their first appearance at R&L, and at the height of the anti-emo sentiment and I remember they actually went down well with the crowd while the other two did get bottled.
