Kendal Calling 2012

[Mr_Grump]

Where you driving from Mick?

Im coming from Skipton, should be a steady 1 hour and a bit jaunt.

[Flaminglippy]

Irrespective of how you access Emperors Field, as you're driving from the south you'll leave the M6 at junction 39....however, those camping in EF who are driving from the North or East could potentially be faced with an additional 20 miles of driving if we have to access the site with the normal campsite crowd.

Those getting taxis from Penrith could be hit with a whopping fare if the latter is the case as they'll have to head 13 miles south on the M6 and then 7 miles north off the M6!!

[Mr_Grump]

If thats the case I'll just get them to drop us off at the normal camp bit and walk round

[Flaminglippy]

Where did you get dropped off last year Lippy? Was it near the entrance for the old EF?

It'll be great if that story happens to be true in time for next week. A cold beer on a warm sunny night in a field.

[ramragon]

Like last year in fact!

[MickeyMo]

That'll suit me down to the ground ! Gives everything a much better feel when the suns out. Fancy dress day in the lashing rain wud be a washout.

Where abouts you from mickey ? You got far to travel

I'll try and get to the meet-up on the Friday (although I've not posted much on here so not well in yet!) - I'm never far from the real ale tent anyway!

[amfy]

Everybody stop talking about the weather now! When I heard the news this morning I was running round the house shouting YESSSSSS!!!!!!.....but it is important not to anger the weather Gods - shhhhh! Don't let them hear us getting excited! (but I am now very very excited!)

[kaytee...]

I'm sure I read there was supposed to be info about emperors field and entrances etc, emailed to us yesterday but nothing yet. Would make sense for them to let people know sooner really

[Flaminglippy]

Our Fold have self-confirmed for the House Party at 8pm Saturday night...well worth catching

[A Man]

Good evening. Thought I might as well join in the fun. Second KC coming up and I have no doubts that the weather will be even better than last year, no worries. God's a good mate of mine and he told me all about it.

Errrrrmmmmmmmm, top threes then?

Friday - Admiral Fallow, The Correspondents, Little Barrie

Saturday - Sound of Guns, The View, Tribes

Sunday - Twisted Wheel, We Are Scientists, Vintage Trouble

Also, has anyone noticed that The View's website has them at KC for all three days? Prolly means nowt, but here's hoping for more than one performance.

That would be good...not massively fussed about seeing them but they're gonna clash with Our Fold so hopefully they'll do another set that doesn't clash

[Flaminglippy]

Well, good buddy, you should be fussed. Then again, I absolutely love the scruffy little tramps.

[ramragon]

Well, that's my wife's ticket given away to a friend who's arriving sometime on the Friday, she's gutted she's not going but being 12 weeks pregnant and being on no medication she didn't wanna risk 2 festivals in a week.

Happy days for my mate who went from looking at the line up with jealous eyes to being the surprise recipient of a free Kendal calling ticket with emperors field privaleges. He's bringing me a few beers !

Just gotta get my 12 year old daughter to keep me under control now ! Which judging by her eye raising and arm folding when she's unimpressed with me at home shouldn't be too hard

Can't wait

Loved the first album...but haven't really been that blown away by anything since (by them I mean, I'm not suggested their 1st album was so good music stopped for me at that point).

Shame they're not on the main stage Friday instead...

[ramragon]

Shame about Mrs Ragon...but there will be other Kendals.

I need this weekend like a dog needs to lick its arsehole in the middle of the living room when you have people round...

[A Man]

Well I would heartily suggest a good listen to The View's new album. And even if their output isn't up to the standard of the first album (which in my eyes is a start-to-finish classic) they have had their moments and have a wicked (is that still a word to describe good things?) live repertoire.

Anyway, enough of me bigging up The View. I sound like I work for them.

Just noticed something magic though - Rockaoke on the Sunday. Anyone know where I can get my hands on a Justin Hawkins-style catsuit? I am going to raaaaaawwwwwkkkkkkk the socks off the Houseparty tent. Massively off key styley.

Got the view this Saturday at Wickerman, I'll let everyone know what they were like
