I'm sure it's probably lashing down for a change over there is it !

[ramragon]

Yeah been pretty grim of late, infact not seen it this wet underfoot since trying to use a urinal at KC!

[LOCHLAND5]

I seem to remember you saying you were lashing against trees and fences rather than using the urinals !

[Jacko450]

Little Comets at the cockpit in Leeds on monday!

New album also very good.

[ramragon]

I'm still debating getting last minute tickets for the comets on Saturday night in Newcastle, really enjoyed their calling out set.

How about Squeeze for a sub or sub-sub headliner?? Massive sing a long band

[ramragon]

Could see them slotting in to a mid afternoon weekend slot, never their biggest fan but I could see why they'd appeal to some. I ended up passing on the little comets gig, got a lot going on and still Jake bugg an band of skulls next month. Can't gan to everything !

I'm glad you posted that lippy, I keep having little flashes of bands from the same era that I think would be good!

Deacon blue

ABC

Don't matter what your into everyone has at least one of the above that they would sing along to !

[Jacko450]

Afternoon all, anyone seeing the Little Comets at the Cockpit tonight?

Also doors open 7pm, what time will they be likely to come on as I'll be rushing from work.

Cheers

I don't see Squeeze as a festival type band...may be wrong, but what is their previous festival history?

Agree about Erasure being too big but see Deacon Blue & Heaven 17 being good shouts....both of them are doing tours at the moment so they may be into the festivals next summer.

Here's one for you to think about.....Simple Minds.....they're doing a huge Greatest Hits tour next year in small to medium sized venues (tickets go on sale this Friday 26th Oct)....might be a good shout for Kendal.

[ramragon]

Yeah I was a big simple minds fan in the 80's and wouldn't mind seeing them play, was gonna see them at Newcastle earlier this year, the around £40 a ticket price put me off at the time.

As for bigger than u2 in the 80's, not sure about that, maybes localised to ma lakelands pallet shed in the lowther area !

hows about them headlining one of the UK's oldest festivals this year?

Or them having played at loads of different festivals for the last 15 years at least? And it's probably the case that there's not been any summer in the last 15+ years where Squeeze or their two major members solo haven't played.

There's not that many bands who have a stronger festival association.

Great to see mickl back and the new avatar hes got its the same flower that was on manc-als giant flag at kendal this year .......... they can double shift it at glasto next year.......

[LOCHLAND5]

Wasn't als a red rose?

And as for being back, I was just taking an early autumn hiatus!

[Mr_Grump]

No it was defo same as yours ......... Does colour matter?

[Comfy Bean]

Erasure ..... ( maybe to big)

ABC

Deacon blue

Heaven 17.

[ramragon]

Caught deacon blue at Glastonbury and really enjoyed a cheesy drunken singalong, a band I'll be sure to catch in the future again. Got tickets for Jake bugg next month in the academy2 which I'm really looking forward to, I passed on the early Feb gig cos it was within days of the baby due date and I had visions of me being at a gig and the missus rushing to hospital ! Quite happy to have November tickets and amazed they're passing hands at more than 60 quid now. Pleased I got the 8 quid option when they first came out !

[LOCHLAND5]

I think deacon blue is a winner !

Nargtadge if your lurking checking out what the fans think check out this video and if your unsure just ask Jon D and sacha macaroni cos they will appreciate it they were in their mid to late 20s when this tune was out in 1987.

we're in danger of trying to turn Kendal into that '80's Rewind' festival!
