While watching, (well listening outside), to the first couple of Art Garfunkel songs up at Acoustic before going to see Chvrches and New Order, I saw a man sat on a bench with two other people. He had two hats on but didn't, I thought, look that much like Stuartbert so I refrained from saying anything. If it was you Stu, then hi...!

It was me from an alternate universe who didn't go to see Floating Points. I'm not sure if alternate me goes on eFests, but if so, "Hi" from him :)

Met the wonderful Mrs & Mrs Wooderson at Avalon, spotted Scottie's hat a couple of times, once in front of me at Hobo and another time across a crowded Spike where he was busting some moves* with Neil to Soul Stew.

 

*talking.

He had a hole in his straw hat which also made me think it was not you. Alternate you really needs to up his game...!

I saw someone with a tshirt on of @GETOFFAMYLAWN avatar, with a kind of blue bunnet on, wasn't sure if it was him though and wasn't going to ask

Was this on Sunday? I was wearing that t shirt with a blue bucket hat that day.

edit: sorry missed the post where we found out who it was :lol:

Who was the Scottish guy from here who I was sitting down talking to on Friday and bought a round of drinks? I was a bit drunk so can't remember the name but it was appreciated.

That was me Alan and no worries at all, was getting there myself.

Also think I met @DeanoL at the Darble lock-up putting his / camp solo's big green flat bed trolley in. Never made it round to see the rest of camp solo unfortunately.

Oh most definitely, and hopefully there won't be an 18 hour bus journey from Glasgow and il make the meet this year :P

I was also on that bus. Highlight was one of the drivers joining all of us in the pub although he didn't actually drink. Situation made it easier to get to know those around us.

I sadly didn't speak to any efesters, it was rather silly of me to think I would randomly bump some of you, did mention the forum to lots of people I spoke to but no luck, maybe next time.

I'm met an efester of the National Express coach from Lincoln, she was dishing out Cherry Bakewell flavoured alcohol and keeping lots of peoples spirits up even as we hit hour 12 of our coach journey

I didn't get a name and wasn't brave enough it out myself but it was great meeting you :)

The location sounds a bit off, but handing out Cherry Bakewell sounds a lot like @Curlygirl.

I think CG was in Gainsborough before Glastonbury. Or there's been an identity theft, and CG's drinks cupboard has been emptied.

yeah I thought Curlygirl was the best guess but I didn't think she was a yellowbelly, she did have a quality North East accent now I think about it so I believe we may have found our girl

Met up with lots of efesters on Thursday afternoon, but that was planned. Apart from that, bumped into @deebeedoobee and @pilton digger a few times over the weekend, @Curlygirl on the way to JP for John Grant, and @lucyginger and @Wellyboot (both shitfaced) at Earth Wind & Fire. 

Amazing isn't it?! Massive place with loads of people and still manage to bump into folk. I really enjoyed chatting with you and Mrs G! And loved John Grant!

aye we had a bit of a chat and a bond over your drink, I was the one with the big colour peacock tattoo on my arm 2 seats in front of you :) amongst the group of us that just won't stop singing the same 2 lines of caravan of love repeatedly

i seriously considered introducing myself but it wasn't until the coach broke me emotionally that i had the courage and by that point it seemed a little redundant after all we'd been through

Didn't notice the tattoo I'm afraid, but I do remember you two lads. You were both very thirsty for the nectar haha!! Did I mention efests then? Or did the cherry bakewell give me up? Wish I'd known it was you haha! 

 

 

Just seen seen your edit.. And now I have the ear worm back haha! To be fair, I had a moment when they played caravan of love on Sunday!

    • 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. 🙂
