According to the bottom of your profile back in the day you went to the cutting crew, slade and jermain stewart, think the dance tent might get a bit lairy for you, best join the old bearded men in wallahs ! The only pow pow pow you're likely to hear is the sound of the hotpots black puddings battering off your head. Dance ? Er no thanks, lippy might take u up on the offer tho

Ha it's not me but see them hat and ginger wig combos always been the rage , I'd retired Dom going out in Scotland by spring 93 to much trouble for a piss taking Englishman ! It got messy ! Great days though !

Utah saints will have done a PA for streetrave at the piv if I remember rightly!

So I've found a dance partner for grooverider Cnumb !

Now we gotta make it special , so may I suggest while we are stomping al be shouting "work that tablet "

You shout " pump them powders "

Looking back I think I was always a rock & indie kinda guy at heart but some of the tunes and nights out from those days were incredible. Youve got to feel sorry for the youth of today. Were loaded on nostalgia, cider and woo woo`s tonight in our kitchen. 2 more from you chubb that bring back fond memories.....

Aim higher sir... Calling Out ??? I`ll stick on a couple of examples that ( hopefully ) prove there is still a market for live performances of music from the era we`ve been yammering on about. In 2009 I was sitting on the top of the hill with the weans ( aged 4 ) fast asleep in prams sipping on a cold beer with the present Mrs CN at roughly 1am watching the crowds return to the main stage arena to watch / dance to Utah Saints. The Zutons had been the headliner and then we had the burning / fireworks etc. I think Wickerman exploit a license issue with the " live " band playing before midnight and the dj set ( no "live " band ) continuing into the wee hours. Kendal could do the same for the Lochland Session. As you can see the crowd returned in massive numbers to the main arena. Same happened in 2010 with 808 state after The Charlatans had been the "official" closing headliner before midnight. At 1am you can really get the crowd going and when it`s cold and dark we need to dance to keep warm /awake. Its a win win. Dig out your old cd`s.....the young team will love it and one or two of us auld yins can stand at the back and say I was there back in the day.Tis a bit of a racket at the start but captures the moment / excitement of everyone heading back into the arena........<br /><br />http://youtu.be/_iUKoYuTdn4<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Think I`ve just stumbled across Grooveriders opener for the Sunday night. Any news on the Lochman sessions ?

You should start getting the playlist sorted. Would guess Kendal are puting the final touches to their offer. A bit like Glastonbury and the Stones !

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
