Kendal Calling 2013

[ramragon]

If people had to choose an area to improve in the festival where would it be ? I think we can take the toilet situation as a given !

Altthough my daughter's a bit older and more easily amused now I do think that the family friendly focus should be looked at, there didnt seem an awful lot for kids to do other than collect beer cans for money to pay their way at the festival ! Some decent activities or an area specifically for kids would be an improvement. There were areas on the outskirts of the festival where I'm sure some sort of children's area could be set up, the bit next to the 60s shop and the tent advertising the monster show (or something like that) was probably the most unvisited area in the whole festival, with no reason to visit it. With a bit of planning and fencing the area off I'm sure it could be adapted a bit.

Ha ha, you could have a point ! At least the Scots aren't as deluded as us tho, after every win its the old 'we can win the world cup' routine.

It's more a case of patience an luck getting tickets for Glastonbury, I'm up in Scotland as well right now when I get back home I'll pm u both with what you'll need to swap an how the ticket buy works.

Lets just move on from the football talk ( I`ve to go back for more of that tomorrow night ). Stupid game anyway !! Just got the e-mail confirming prices and kids under 12 going free. I`m up for giving it a shot but as mentioned will need to rely on you and lochland keeping me right. Silly question time... How will I know when I`ve been pm`d ??

[ramragon]

I have a question who is lochland?

Thanks again. Yeah I`ve got it sussed now. I note I have used 0% of my quota ( 50 messages ) so we should be ok to get the ticket plan up and running !

Meanwhile back at Kendal....anyone any views on my Ocean Colour Scene prediction - 2013 tour in Glasgow in February. Thought Shed7 were quality this year and OCS for me would fit perfect into that slot.

[Comfy Bean]

I thought they'd lifted the curfew in the area for sheep abuse. Try solfest with them, we might join you due to a wickerman shaped hole in next year's plans !

[Comfy Bean]

Only ever saw ocean colour scene once , and that was at the oasis loch lomond gig in 96 , they was good . Does it not depend on what weller is doing if OCS can gig sommat to do with Steve craddock the guitar player for both?

[LOCHLAND5]

Is that near Lake Lomond.......

[ramragon]

As long as they're not billed as one of the main draws it'd be ok, Maybes mid afternoon slot would be good on a sunny day

[ramragon]

See the wickerman earlybird tickets have gone on sale today, still a shame it clashes with Kendal or I wud have snapped em up straight away, have you decided where you're going yet c-numb ? Kendal, wickerman or neither ?

Where do you find these things at Steve ?

[Flaminglippy]

Quite fancied that one at Portmeirion until I saw what efests have posted tonight. Screw that! No parking within 4 miles of the site, 1 crate of beer per person...up to £80 in a taxi if you can't get a shuttle bus...what a bunch of arse gravy!

[LOCHLAND5]

its not a backhander or anything lochland dont worry, i twocked it from the bearded theory thread if you must know ! hardly original but hey, why not

It's a sack of shit ! Think you can defo call this a shady manc fest !

[LOCHLAND5]

Why only announce this the week the festival happens?? Dodgy.

[thetime]

Cos they wouldn't of sold as many tickets, and the 1 case of beer rule is probably been brought in because of pressure from the bar owner seen as it hasn't sold out!

How the hell does a line up like that not sell out for 8000 ?

[LOCHLAND5]

Is the one crate a strict rule though? Some festivals say similar to this but dont enforce it.
