Kendal Calling 2012

[ramragon]

I was quiet as I was choking with laughter at the thought of the five of us (we're having Lippy there too) doing some crazy 'dad dancing' in the Glow Tent!!

You know the only thing missing at Kendal? A silent disco. Any chance of fitting a mini tent in somewhere so we can all laugh at each other singing along really badly

Re the Utah saints are they just dj's now ? I saw them as a band 3-4 times in the early 90's and really want to catch them again.

[kaytee...]

Seen them a few times at Glastonbury but never actually been to one. I'm assuming you have tho, how'd you find it

Evening/Morning all, Just up early here in Northern Espana. 5.00am and a nice 22c.

Whats the weather like in jolly old? Ive realised that it is most likely going tip down at Kendal do the forecasts suggest this?

Ps Ramragon, youll be amused to know that as I landed here in Spain sunday night IT RAINED! I truly am cursed.

[Flaminglippy]

Shhhhh, Lippy had escaped the torment, no need to narc him up and drag him in to it

[Flaminglippy]

[LOCHLAND5]

Never heard it called that before...is is the same as a normal shuffle but the other hand is down under?

[ramragon]

You'd probably have to take a portable generator and electrocute me to have me jumping round like that I've gotta say.

[Flaminglippy]

[ramragon]

Every forecast I seem to look at seems to say something different, it seems the truth is that it's so unpredictable right now that who knows 14 days out

[Lillybef]

I have two kendal calling weekend tickets with Thursday entry for sale £200 - is it ok to post phone number email address on here or is there a PM system?

[ramragon]

There's a private message system, you'd b better off using that, any messages you receive a red envelope will show up at the top of this page.

I'm assuming it's 200 for the pair and not 200 each ?

[yellowpinkie]

Thanks for the info and yep it's £200 for the pair

Well looking forward to my 3rd KC in a row, coming down from Glasgow. Must admit, when I first bought my ticket I was thinking that this is the weakest line up ever, however with Admiral Fallow being added, and rumours of a Collins/Frame duo, this could be a great year!

Have been listening to Shed 7 - Change Giver to get in the mood...forgot how bloody good an album that is. Also, been listening to a lot of the "lesser known" acts over the past week. It now looks like Hyde & Beast, Little Barrie, Sound of Drums, Little Roy and possibly Ghostpoet are now must sees for me.

Slightly surprised that Admiral Fallow are playing so far down the pecking order on a really small stage - best band on the bill IMO. Hopefully they won't be on ridiculously early as I don't expect to arrive until 4pm Friday.

Idle lunch hour so I thought I'd have a look at the site map ! (In the old days Friday lunchtime was the start of the weekend beer marathon, and it certainly will be in two weeks time)

The site setup looks pretty similar to last year to me (once you turn the main stage round !). There looks to be more space 'behind' the Main Stage this year (it was fenced off stageside on the left last year). Makes me wonder whether it is being moved slightly to where the Calling Out space was, as there was a downhill camber for both stages. If the Emperors Field isn't a separate access to site it will be like it was two years ago, where access was across the main campsite to the main entrance. Makes me think the Emperors Field may be one of the fields north of the site.

Friday : Lucy Rose, Admiral Fallow, Ghostpoet

Saturday :Edwyn Collins?, To Kill a King, Alpines

Sunday :James, Inspirals, Riot Jazz Brass Band

And the Kendal weekend I'm missing Featherstone Rovers in the Rail Cup Final, Morrissey in Manchester and Savages in Leeds, so I'm going to make sure I have a bloody good time. Fancy dress on Saturday is a big group debate at the moment. I really don't fancy spending the day in the Calling Out dressed as Alice in Wonderlands duck, even after a few beers, I take music too seriously to be dressed up as a duck !! I've got a Roy Race number 9 shirt which I'm trying to palm off as fitting the theme, we'll see how we go..
