Crows Nest

[simonizer]

I have missed some great bands play intimate sets in the Crows nest in recent years. I did stumble upon Cat Le Bon in 2014 purely by chance. Does anyone know of the best way to keep up with who is playing there ?

Usually the crows nest tweets each morning their daily lineup

And they also put a blackboard with the lineup outside - if I remember correctly they tweet a picture of that. But it's quite a walk up to read the blackboard!

... and you can be sure Stornoway, Toy and Jaguar Ma (DJ set) will be there!

I love the Crows Nest, probably my favourite venue on the site

... or Williams Green

Is this confirmed somewhere or just three bands that are regulars?

I saw a tweet one morning that indicated Willy Mason was on later that day. Really glad I checked my twitter feed that morning.

Sat on the floor  in front of Gruff while he played a couple of American Interior tracks. 

Still gutted I missed Steve Mason playing Dry the Rain in 13.

Just noticed this has its own thread.

could we gather all the info so far in here? Crows nest is one of my favourite places, so intimate, great vibe and some top bands. Jagwar Ma DJ in there and Toy have been highlights from past years.

Pumarosa is a very welcome addition as I was surprised to see they weren't on the Park or Williams Green.

who else do we know of? NZCA lines, toy?

wouldnt be surprised if we had boxed in 2nd set, big moon and more too.

love it up there!

[FuzzyDunlop]

Where is it? 5 previous festivals... never found it

[adequate8]

Top left of the park, left of the big letters, go past the big tower and allll the way up!

[Anderson19]

Same never been up there will check it out this year does is it also a bar? 

[adequate8]

One year they had their own mad cocktail I think but there's a bar next door now

[CaledonianGonzo]

No.

 

Though last year they'd built a real ale bar up not far from it, but I haven't heard if it's back this year.

I was just going to say, there are toilets up there now, and Trickets bar, so o no rush to get down.

I didn't notice there was a thread for this either. This is what I posted in the secret sets thread the other day:

Well if a Crows Nest slot counts as a secret set then there's The Parrots and NZCA Lines confirmed for Thursday and Friday night respectively. Also various bits and bobs that point to sets from Oddisee, Meilyr Jones, TOY, Stornoway, The Rockingbirds, Wesley Gonzalez and Rozi Plain.

But now you mention it, I think a Jono Ma DJ or Jagwar Ma set might be in the offing as well. Maybe @Divein knows a bit more of the wheres and whens?¿?¿?¿?¿

Never knew there was toilets up there either the amount of times I've walked down the hill to take a leak!

There is definitely a "fence-urinal-gutter-thing" (TM Pending) and a massive sewer pipe that takes it down past the BBC.  Can't remember any shitters though.

[adequate8]

There's been the wall urinals by the fence for past 2/3 years but no shitter as mentioned
