Kendal Calling 2012

[Flaminglippy]

All joking aside i heard a few good reports about the houseparty tent after i came back last year, almost typically its a tent i never ventured in to, expecting it to be a sort of 2nd dance tent. Anyone like to comment on what it was like ?

must do more variety of stages this year, which may be hard at times because the main stage line up looks really strong on sat an sun

I did a bit of the Houseparty...quite good. David McAlmont played against 'House Of Pain'...I stayed for his set and it was brilliant. It was tiny though

I thought it was mostly dj's in house party except for the odd set. I remember lots of sofa cushions in the air and several teenagers fast asleep in the beds at the back later on:) I fell in a hole in front if the dj and nearly DIED.

[ramragon]

you nearly DIED you say ?

i took this photo of someone trying not to fall into a hole in the ground, it wasnt you was it Sam ?!? ha ha

[sam12betsy]

Some of the lesser known bands I reckon might be worth checking out after listening to some of their stuff on the Kendal website...

Spring Offensive

Random Impulse

Hyde and Beast

Jake Evans

Max Raptor

Dirty North

Ryan Keen

And if anybody is interested you can download loads of 'Our Fold' stuff from their Facebook page for a limited period. Well worth a listen

[Mr_Grump]

Manc al is a star ........ Was just trying to prove a point ! But it was wrong for me to use his name . I have said sorry directly to him ! If he's ever up this way I would buy him a pint or 2 .

[Flaminglippy]

Glad to hear whatever it was is now sorted.....KC is all about having fun and a good time......oh, and the beer helps!!

You've got me worried about my tent now...might have to upgrade to one that isn't basically as waterproof as bog roll!

[Flaminglippy]

Who's gonna be using it? you & Mrs lippy?

[Mr_Grump]

Yeah...but thinking as we're in Emperors anyway might suggest we upgrade to a slightly larger (and hopefully more water-proof) one

[Flaminglippy]

There are loads of bargains out there at the moment - this rather British weather is playing havoc with camping sales & retailers are offering all sorts of deals.

Not sure exactly where you are (I know somewhere in the midlands), but Go Outdoors are an extremely good retailer (they have 3 stores in the midlands - Birmingham, Wolverhampton & Coventry) and are always doing deals (have a look at www.gooutdoors.co.uk).

Peace and harmony restored, i knew the threat of jeremy kyle would do the trick !

im gonna air my tent out later in the week and make sure it hasnt been eaten by moths or rotted away, got several to choose from but the vango 5 man seems ideal for the job, i've got a decent outwell one as well that comes with a sunroof and fitted carpet. It may be a bit posh for a festival tho !

[Guest manc_al]

So....real ale prices have been reduced this year.....RESULT!

And Elbow will be at the festival

[Flaminglippy]

I saw the update about real ale.....but Elbow? Where did that come from?

[Mr_Grump]

Think its a reference to the Elbow ale being on sale...

[Guest manc_al]

Sorry.....couldn't resist the Elbow comment

Mines a pint of Build a Rocket Boys....Elbow ale
