The Charlatans

I am going to watch them in Leeds in March mainly for old times sake. I used to absolutely love them. The Charlatans LP and Telling Stories were 2 of my fave albums. I did not think much of the 1st 2 singles taken from the forth coming album but I quite admire them for continually trying to evolve, even if some of it is not to my tastes.

They always put a good show on live and would go down a treat on a sunny afternoon.

I think tellin stories and the eponymous one still stand up today, along with a lot of some friendly, but their later stuff not so much.

The eponymous album always gets a play in the summer. Don't know why but that has always been a summet album, where as I listen to stuff like St Ettienne in the winter.

I understand what people say about some of the older stuff not ageing well, but there are too many memories attached to some of them songs for me not to like them. Plus Weirdo sounds good no matter what. I am going to watch them in Leeds so that if they do pop up at a festival this year then I could miss them with a clear heart if they clash.

Yeh I would go and see them dont get me wrong because as you say there are a lot of good memories attached to those songs, but I wonder what people who have never heard them before think of them.

Yeah I'd check them out. Like you guys, I loved them back in the day bad always enjoyed them when I saw them live. When I saw they were touring again, didn't get tickets on the hope they'd show up at Glastonbury. We thinking Other if they are? I'd prefer JP! But as-long as they played My Beautiful Friend I'd be chuffed

I don't think they've aged at all. The eponymous album and Us & Us Only still hit the spot for me. I'm also a big fan of Up at the Lake, a very underrated album.

I've not seen them for a long time mind, caught a couple of songs at V when I was there for the Roses a few years ago.

    • 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. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
