Unless she guested with someone/wanted a free ticket (Charles Slow Club was around as a punter), apparently so. Who did the Tipi sets on Saturday and Sunday?

benali Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Jamie Lee from Money did perhaps the most bizarre secret set at midnight on Saturday. He was off his head. First he read out a terrible poem then, ignoring calls for him to play a song, he challenged a woman to an arm wrestle. Having beaten her he said he won because she was a woman and a few people started booing. Next he started offering the chance for someone to punch him in the face. By now if had clearly descended into farce. His management/friends ended up escorting him from the stage much to the relief of everyone present. At one point he even ran off behind the stage into the bushes and emerged back to hi five a few reluctant members of the crowd. I recognised him, not because I like his band but because him and his mates (fellow band members maybe?) had been shouting about during Phosphorescent's secret show the night before. Again they were completely off their heads, one chap especially was having more than a bit of trouble on whatever he'd taken. Earlier on the Saturday evening, just before Steve Mason played, I'd also seen him walking towards the exit of the Big Top. A female steward tried to stop him at which point he opened his arms in that Liam Gallagher indie-swagger and walked threateningly towards her only stopping when a security guard moved in. Please don't invite him back next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamstonite Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I saw that "poem" and moved swiftly on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Both Ezra Furman and Bill Ryder Jones were great on the Piano stage. Very short from B R-J (just two songs) but beautiful nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatch71 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Also had the 'pleasure' of seeing the Jamie Lee secret set, the only secret set I've ever seen at EOTR. Great one to pick! Did have the pleasure of chatting with Evan Hall of Pinegrove when hanging around the Piano Stage on Sunday afternoon. Saw their set earlier on Sunday, which I enjoyed. He was kind enough to tell me about secret sets by several acts later that day, including the second Pinegrove set on Sunday night. Found out about the secret set from Wild Beasts on Wednesday of last week thanks to a friend who knows the band, but was sworn to secrecy. Ended up going to see BC Camplight anyway as the two sets clashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesrfisher Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I guessed it was going to be Wild Beasts on the Saturday when i saw on Thursday that Rough Trade were selling their album and were only selling albums of artists playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Buckley Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I didn't realise that that arsehole was a secret set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiepaul Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I also saw that idiot and left after the initial shouting and swearing demanding alcohol and drugs. I am glad he got removed form the stage. That's one band off my radar from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliadevitt Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 same here. Couldn't believe how obnoxious he was. Such as shame as the MONEY set was my highlight, I absolutely loved it and love his recorded stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerMead Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'm not one for secret sets TBH, but disappointed to read this, MONEY were one of my highlights having also seen them at Latitude this summer, I'd hoped he was a nice guy but sounds like he can be a bit of a dick when drunk? He was caning the rider during their set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mash011 Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Just seen that covers set Ezra Furman did, very jealous of those who got to see that. So nearly went to this as well. I definitely need to get to this festival some time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trucksnbolts Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yeah, i saw the Ezra covers set...Beck into Weezer into Arcade Fire was pretty damn good. Nothing particularly blew me away all weekend but El Scorcho was a great 5 minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
