Hot rocks Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 I noticed they weren’t at the bridge this year too, I’m not sure if I dreamt i saw them elsewhere in the festival or if I really did ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyfairy! Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 At one stage a week or so before the festival they were stacked on the opposite site of the bridge, but I did ‘t Notice wher they were during the festival or if they got put back away again ?

gigpusher Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 It was in the area between acoustic stage and ped gate c. Can't remember the name but something junkyard I think. They seemed to have lots of bits from previous festivals and was a nice shaded area. They also had the elephants that lit up at night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s where I’ve spotted them then, we had a mooch around in there one night on the way back to cv fields, I may have been a bit drunk ?

Rimskis Yard? It was new and relatively unheralded this year.. I only spotted it halfway through the weekend, thought it looked really interesting and resolved to go back later to take a proper look. Which inevitably never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just had a look around it once and noticed things that we remembered seeing in festivals gone by. A great little example of recycling.

DeanoL Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Yeah that moved. Also noticed the insect circus has moved from theatre fields to the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the 'happenings' I'm talking about took place in the pretty pond area under the bridge at night when it was lit up with fire lanterns etc. A boat would come out from under the bridge with a couple of dressed up people in it who then mimed to a well known opera piece playing through speakers, and then when finished the boat silently retreated back under the bridge. It didn't last long and you just had to be there when it happened. I caught it twice and really regret not getting a photo. It was different opera piece the two times I saw it - the second time was the Freddie Mercury/Montserrat Caballe - 'Barcelona' thing. Very cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno - I guess it just depends which performance you catch. First time I'd seen it but it sounds like they did it in previous years?

He stands up at one point and the boat rocks around so she grabs his crotch...fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, I think, would have been Andy Marshall at Crooner's Corner. Love a wander past him. The bridge was closed off for quite a while on Wednesday afternoon while an HGV was getting itself sorted out, so he had a massive crowd and made the most of it! Big crowd singing along to "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" was an early highlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were stuck on the West Holts side... the lady driving it had an audience of a few hundred while she performed a very tricky manoeuvre and when she finally nailed it she got a massive cheer from her audience. As delivery jobs go I reckon that's one of her most memorable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
