IT'S EOTR EVE!

 

I may have done a tiny excited wee

I hope Richard Dawson's set isnt pushed back in order to fill the gap Damien Jurado has left, a Richard Dawson/Amen Dunes clash would be a stinker

[Suggestives]

A dream would be for the Liminanas to move into the slot as their clash with Richard Dawson is already a stinker ... and they'd be better in the Garden I think.

In reality I expect they'll leave the programming as is, and find something new for Damien's slot.

Looking at my clash finder I almost want an empty slot so I can grab some food ...

[RustySpanner]

I wonder if Willy Mason might be a possibility for Damien Jurado’s slot? He’s in Portsmouth on Monday. His dates are empty from Saturday.

I'm sure Ezra won't mind doing another set to add to the ten he's already doing across the weekend.

Is Ezra really doing lots of sets or is that just presuming based on previous? I could happily see him half a dozen times.

For me the fact he has done surprise sets before to me increases the chance that he *won't* do them this year.

Wave Pictures have replaced Damien Jurado

Looks a bit quiet in here now it's kicked off but I was chatting to a lad at the bar last night from a band who played on the Rising stage at GM. He said that Black Midi are definitely doing the secret slot on Sunday night... really is worth a look.

Well my prediction was totally wrong. I'd thought Big Thief on the Garden Stage would be special but they really seemed thrown after some stage monitoring difficulties. However, my top 5 acts of the weekend, in no particular order, were:

Shame
St. Vincent
Stella Donnelly
Lucy Dacus
Sunflower Bean

What were yours?

After 10 years of attending, probably my best EOTR yet - for the outstanding depth of quality of the artists across the whole weekend, as well as the weather. Saturday was my birthday and it was like the dream day of music + sunshine + Bloody Mary's + Beavertown. It'll live long in the memory.

Big Thief bored me but other than that pretty much the perfect weekend.

Universally lovely people. They were my highlight.
