I got there about 7:00, but I didn't know anyone, was half expecting an "e-fests" flag or something, but thought it might have been odd if I just randomly walked up to folk & said "I'm Tommy, t2t, are you on the forum?" did have a natter with a few randoms for an hour or so, one of them may have been one of you lot..

ha i got a drink near that bar before blossoms and spotted a cone hat, thought it was funny as id not seen one for a while so was probably you. Then after them we had to go and continue setting up as we'd thrown the tent up and quickly just shoved everything inside when we arrived to make blossoms so listened to black rivers while finishing setting up

Meet up was a bit of a washout for us, sorry. Had a nightmare set up which resulted in all the plans going to pot. Managed to make it for the start and bought thurlow his yearly drink but none of us had eaten since 9am and food was the priority, specially for the grouchy 2 year old.

Apologies to anyone I missed, did have the pleasure of meeting quite a few over the weekend though

We set off at 11ish (its about an hour drive) and had tent pitched by half 4... Admittedly the new tent took me 20mins to pitch! Managed to get there and met about 6 or 7 of you (&paid the annual Thurlowdebt!) Seems the shitty traffic balzed up a few this year. For note (anyone with a memory better than a goldfish!) real ale tent was quiteish at 11am opening on the Friday morning, could be a better plan for 2016.

Was good to catch up with some of you on the Thursday. Good spot and was easy to find Thurlows hat !

I remember a few people couldn`t find folk the previous year at the real ale tent as it was rammed before Craig Charles. Did we not end up outside the tent that year ? Anywayz, nice to put a few names to faces and make my annual Thurlow donation !!

Next year the Friday does sound like a decent plan. I see Wickerman have there dates up so just waiting on KC confirming. If it`s the same as this year ( would guess it will be ) then we will be doing the double again.

The bar meet this year was fine but would it have worked out if it had been raining ?

Plus sounds like the real ale tent had less comedy value with their pricing structure !!!

The 330ml bottle of cider I bought Thurlow was £4.40 ( four pounds and forty pence ) and wasn`t even cold. Not that I grudged it of course  :)

You should begrudge paying that much, i certainly did for the rest of the festival

You won fair and square mate ( again ). Fair play to you.

Thats a pity that you agreed to have your entry for next year in by Christmas THIS year. You do remember that conversation I hope .......it may have happened  ;)

 

If it helps then I think they will go for an Avicci type, Jake Bugg, Rita Ora, George Ezra, Charlie xcx, Kings of Leon and the Manics so there`s 7 to get you started. With my record, they are almost certain to get booked  :ninja:

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
