Where's Rolf?

Oh I agree, but their support for rolf was nothing to do with that, it was based purely on an unwillingness to believe one of their childhood idols could possibly have been sat there with an erection while drawing pictures of those cartoons for kids

I dont recall any of them leaping to the defence of max clifford for example

Nope. Unless I have seen evidence I try and take innocent until proven guilty as a principle, even for people we already knew who were bastards like Jim Davidson and Max Clifford. I just wouldn't have entered a discussion about Max Clifford in the first place as he isn't playing Glastonbury...

What exactly is your point here? No, I did not want to believe that Rolf was a peado, but regardless of this outcome, I will still have the exact same reaction as before the next time somebody I like gets accused of being a peado. Would you rather we all just turned on people every time they have accusations leveled against them?

Nobody's defended Max Clifford because we have no reason to, he's a nob, but we're not saying he is a peado, innocent until proven guilty applied to him, too. The difference is that nobody cares enough about Max to point it out.

I remember in 2010 he had a 'glamourous' assistant who had to strut across stage shaking her arse everytime Rolf needed an instrument brought to him. He spent to whole time stating at her & leering. Obviously she was an adult, but it struck me at the time as a bit weird. Showed he was still a very sexual man.

I'm sad, but can't say I'm shocked

Of all of the cases this is the one I really want to fall apart. Still a bit shocked.

Considering the first arrest happened long ago there's been plenty of time for people to come forwards, so at least we can hope for no new horrors unlike the seemingly unending line of Saville victims. I just couldn't process that horror involving rolf

    • Been going for 10 years. Wasn't massively keen on the lineup beforehand - although as usual after some research I did start to really look forward to it. We had a brilliant time, felt more like old school Latitude, lovely vibe and we met some nice people. We saw loads but highlights for me -   Lime Garden Florence Road Jalen Ngonda David Byrne - Not a fan of him or TH really but we went out of interest and it was one of those festival shows that you'll never forget. The staging was off the scale. Eleni Drake - Up on BBC Introducing, what a haven that stage is.  Westside Cowboy Getdown Services - Probably highlight of the weekend for me. Absolutely brilliant and have booked tix for them in Bristol next year. Everything Everything - They're my favourite band so I loved it when they were added. A great start to Sunday and met loads of their fans up near the front. Alex James Britpop - We enjoyed it and Gary Stringer FFS! David O'Doherty - Saw him twice, brilliant as usual. Self Esteem - Adore Rebecca and the show was as live affirming as always.   Overall, it was such a brilliant weekend. Beforehand we said that we might give it a miss next year but I'm pretty sure that we'll be sucked right back in!
    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
