Hypnotic Brass Ensemble at the Sonic Stage

[barkley87]

I think they were meant to be at 2:15pm on Saturday. Did it actually happen? When I arrived at about 2:10 there were a couple of rappers on, and I hung around until about half past but they didn't turn up. They were the only of my must-sees that I didn't see.

[mungo57]

Same. Was there from 1345-1445 and nothing. None of the sound guys had the foggiest either and I asked at BOTH decks

[Vacant0]

They definitely played as somebody told me that they'd seen them - not sure if the times changed though.

[dingbat2]

I listened to them and watch them for a bit, but can't remember what day or time due to self induced alcohol intoxification, so they were definably at that stage at some point. I actually thought its around the time they were supported to be playing to be honest!

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Yeah they definitely played, caught the last couple of tracks and they were great fun

[barkley87]

Damn it! That makes it so much worse!

I missed them at the Hell stage later too

[grazey]

Yeah. They were on about 30 minutes later than their scheduled time on the Saturday afternoon.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Without wanting to make you feel worse I managed to catch both their sets! Didn't stay long for the Hell one though.

Apparently it was them that were running late as we waited ages and kept hassling the stewards. The rappers and DJ on before were awful so it was a painful wait but well worth it as they were brilliant as ever.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Yeah they played there. I think they were on slightly later than they were billed though. I sat over by the fence with my missus in the shade and had a few drinks and fags; just listening from the outside. Nice experience. Did the same with Disclosure the night before.

Waited there for about half an hour, couldn't stand the DJs and MCs filling in for them, so went back to the tent in rivermead, as soon as we got back to the tent I could hear them... Typical!!

[barkley87]

I'm so gutted I missed them. I really hope they come back next year.

[Paf_82]

Apparently the got lost on route to the stage so were late starting. They were good when they turned up though.

[windy_miller]

I saw them on the Hell Stage later that night. They weren't quite uptempo enough for that stage though

[somecoolusername]

Yeah, we went over for the afternoon slot, but didn't stick around long when they didn't show at the scheduled time. We would have done if there had been any indication by the performers on stage that HBE were due to play, and would be doing so in due course, however.

I wasn't that bothered 'cause I've seen them loads of times, but my mate was disappointed

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Was it aplified dot on before? She was absolute cack, shit rapper just shouting out swear words.

[Northernsoul45]
