Beaver89 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Wondered past Los Campesinos on Other and something rowdy on Glade on way to the Pyramid where Seasick Steve was doing his thing. Wonderful. Still have a photo of the stage and crowd from the rear right corner of the field on canvas on my wall. Saturday 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And spotted her at a Morrissey gig at Drury Lane long enough to say hi. And she was lovely and polite and smiley. She's still around, performing with a version of the band and recording a new album. And active on Twitter. V97. I may have spent the time between songs just gazing at her adoringly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guypjfreak Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Well the wife says it was prodigy but as I was off my head and only just remember getting there lol.... Can't remember many bands but it was all about the dance tent and traveler's party back then.. We always park with travellers and I remember one year we were in the festival and it took ALL night to get back to it and that was following the bloody fence lol. We had broken in but could not break out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Bipolar Sunshine, 2014 Walked past Blondie on the way there but only saw one song, and was outside the tent for The 1975 on Thursday night but couldn't see in for most of it, so neither of those count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had their brief moment of fame and it seemed quite fun at the time. Saw them soon after headlining T in the Park. Worst band I've EVER heard at well anywhere... Was having a pint at the cider bus and had to go far away from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexj Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Honestly? I have no idea! It was 1994 and we camped at cockmill so it was probably something on the pyramid . . . But not a blinking clue who! Edited December 8, 2016 by bexj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbadger Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Biggles on the Bandstand, with Charlatans on the Other as my first 'main' act. Biggles were great. Charlatans were pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met Louise after basically blagging our way into their backstage party at the venue. I think she thought me and my mate were both press or something, but no-one seemed to care that we were there. Remember talking to the guitarist for ages about 'cracking America' or some such crap that meant a lot in those days. Chatted to Louise for a bit and gave her a peck on the cheek before they all decided to go off and find their dealers.... Those were the days....

mungo57 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Me and the other half were faffing around on the Friday of 2009 not really doing much, then I wandered off to see The Virgins on JPT and haven't heard of them since. So, The Virgins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
