Thanks for all your sterling work today! Do you know who makes it or whether it's vegan? My other half would be delighted if so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other half would be delighted if so Brecon Brewery according to the programme. It's not listed as vegan whereas other are. For example all the craft beer is, as is everything made by Lucky Seven brewery. Good news is that Tiny Rebel are back in the Courtyard. I'll be smashing a few pints of Lush into my mouth before it runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rararachel Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) BEYOND excited at this point. Thanks @SweepingTheNation and @benali for all the updates today. Wondering could anyone tell me, where does the shuttle bus from Abergavenny drop, assuming at the Orange Car Park/general box office? As I pack... wondering how strict the booze rule is, getting things into the 'entertainment' areas – do they check bags? My usual at End of the Road is the (very chic) 'bag of wine', is that going to get me stopped if its in a rucksack? And assume 'entertainment' means anything that isn't the campsite? Will of course be availing of all the delightful beers, but do hate waiting at the bar when there's back to back music and clashes galore to navigate!

Other than one year where they were stopping people who were drinking cans from going through the wristband checks on the Thursday I don't remember anything. They certainly don't check bags. I always take cans in my rucksack for the times when I can't be bothered to queue in the Courtyard. Can't help on the shuttle bus, I've never used it.

Andeeroo Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) No clashes for me except for a bit of a Stella Donnelly/Willie J Healey/Peaness/The Big Moon cluster on Saturday afternoon. Stella > The Big Moon is the easy winner there though. Days currently look like this: Thursday: Bess Atwell / Bodega / Amadou & Mariam Friday: Mama’s Broke / Penelope Isles / The Beth’s / Marina Hackman / Squid / Stealing Sheep / Khruangbin / Ex:Re Saturday: Modern Nature / Mapache/ Stella Donnelly / The Big Moon / Lee Fields & The Expressions / Big Thief / Car Seat Headrest / The Comet Is Coming Sunday: Self Esteem / Say Sue Me / Yak / The Liminanas / Chappaqua Wrestling / Eels / Sharon van Etten / Nilüfer Yanya Getting all excited just typing that out!

Anyone looking at the forecast might as well not bother because it was meant to be a nice evening but then the clouds rolled in and we all got wet. Spitting now but also suddenly quite cold.

Sounds spot on for the Brecon Beacons. There’s a reason everything is so green around there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
