Tug life Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 The mustard dijon band (or something like, can't remember exactly so won't embarrass myself by getting it slightly wrong) were fantastic. First time I've seen them, and missed the start because mud. "Bounce the ball"; the innocence had me in tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 The only person who didn't seem to enjoy the set was the bloke half way up the hill that wouldnt join in so colonel mustard berated him then had all the crowd turn to him, point and boo ! Haha I'll admit, I had my doubts but they put on a decent show, and i laughed when @Comfy Bean tried to blag his way on to stage as a ginger but was sent away cos he wasn't ginger enough.

festival fan from fife Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Shimmer band ( wish they had a longer set), Man& The Echo ,Editors ,Feeder , British Sea Power. Phonics and Manics were good as well. Caught a few good bands at woodlands but can't remember who just now.... on route home and a bit brain dead lol.

dannyfletcher Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Disappointed by Stereophonics. Been watching them for 20years now and they've got a bit boring and go through the motions. When they get going though they still have it, and Kelly's voice is still strong. A worthy headliner thiugh and a massive crowd. Feeder put on a good show after a few teething issues to begin. Disappointed by DMAs. Love the album but they had little interaction with us and seemed to want to rattle through the songs. As above I have to agree with Colonel Mustard. Like the Hotpots they aren't s band I'd listen to at home, but fantastic live. Off the main stage, bands I saw that I'd never heard of but will be checking out again are (in no particular order) Fickle Friends Bad Sounds Hello Operator Outlya Lowes Honey Feet Indigo Violet Lost Colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooly JP Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 So many enjoyable sets, was really looking forward to Man and the Echo and they didn't dissapoint. Ded Rabbit at the Woodllands on Friday. We loved The Assist, Hello Operater and Blackwaters in the House Party. Slaves, Bad sounds, Lewis Bootle and The Gospel choir doing Graceland. Also found The Colonel Mustard thing was just what i needed to sort my hangover out. Probably a few ive forgotten about as well. Great weekend as always.

bottonrob Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Wife - Stereophonics, Me - Lowds in Chai Wallah's (but I need to check the name!) Son - Colonel Mustards Daughter - ? Disappeared into Glow tent on Friday and crawled out at some point early this morning! Must confess a big thumbs up to the Comfy for this heads up although worried he might change his name to Comfy Smug. For those who caught the Mustards but didn't make the meet up, I was the fella in the Safari hunter gear and my son was the gorilla with the large inflatable spider on his back. Say hello in 18!.. & sleep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FestieKath Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Really enjoyed Fickle Friends, hadn't heard them before. Was nice to enjoy the set in a not so packed calling out stage too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincoveces05 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Didn't watch anyone on the Main Stage at all which is a first. Really enjoyed Lost Colours yesterday in the House Party Tent, like if Flaming Lips or a scaled down Polyphonic Spree were fronted by an opera singer.

Scargilla Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Colonel Mustard and the Dijon 5 were fantastic, really enjoyed them. Little comets were good Mexrrissey in the woodlands, mainly as they seemed so happy to be playing. Hate to admit it but even enjoyed Frank Turner too...

Crystal Waters Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 The London African Gospel Choir in Woodlands was pretty special. I know they are a bit "corny" but Colonel Mustard & the Dijon Five and The Lancashire Hotpots were good in the first slot of the day for shaking off the night before. I'm not a Stereophonics fan particularly but I did enjoy their set. I always enjoy listening to new stuff I've never heard of .... will be seeking out a young local (Sheffield) band called Redfaces for another listen. One thing though .... a lack of female artists on the main stage I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spoke about this on the way up the road. Prepared a list to keep us awake :-) Also thought Stereophonics were better on the night than the Manics which I didn't expect to be saying. Thought having both of them was a bit boring.... headliner booking wise. No idea on costs of these things but I'd get Lorde next year to balance up all the blokey guitar stuff this year.

neato Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Really enjoyed Billy Bibby and the wry smiles and the Larkins in Calling Out, Hello Operator in House Party. Mainstage wise, I enjoyed Feeder and Stereophonics. I caught a few acts I rated on Carvetti and the Woodlands but I'd lost my lanyard to the mud by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
