This might be my favourite news of 2021 - not that there's much competition! Bloody love Teleman.

I'll be honest, I've not really kept up with what they're up to these days, but 'Brilliant Sanity'? Fantastic.

Thinking back, I reckon I only got into them after seeing them at EOTR a few years back. I'm sure that was my starting point for them.

Good band. I remember seeing them at eotr in their previous guise as Pete & The Pirates, in a much smaller Big Top back then.

Aye, I remember that too. Just checked my old programs, it was 2008 - 13 years ago, bloody hell!

Apologies for the obsession but just noticed that a third of Beak are already there as Will Young is playing with Modern Nature on the Saturday.

And on social media Beak having been trying to sort out a van for 3-5 September!

Having doubts now as Modern Woman are playing Friday EOTR and Saturday Psychfest.

Can Young play two sets a day plus hack a long drive to Manchester?

Will Young is not in Modern Women, he is sometimes part of Modern Nature.

Was confusing my Moderns, you're quite right.

Card only at the bars apparently but cash or card at the food vendors

Is the Garden silent disco still there or is that deemed a bit risky now? They only used to take cash for the headphones as far as I remember.

[airwaves]

Based on Spotify listening I'm recommending WHLung 

[Sean1234321]

WH Lung are fantastic live - their frontman is a great performer. 

[Vamagus]

Yup second that about WH Lung. 
 

Seen them a number of times and they never disappoint.

Bit of a minefield this year! Silent Disco, Ferris Wheel & Helter Skelter are just cash, everything else is card... from the website:

 

All End Of The Road Bars will be completely cashless for 2021. Strictly card and contactless payments only.

All caterers and non-food/drink traders will be accepting cash and card.

Mr. Trolley will be trialling card machines, but we recommend bringing cash just in case.

The Ferris Wheel and Helter Skelter will be cash only.

Silent Disco deposits will be cash only.

The Programme Hut and roaming stewards will be trialling card machines, but we recommend keeping cash on hand just in case.

Merch Shop will be accepting cash and card.

Anyone got any nice tips for new or smaller bands?

I am liking bdrmm

 

 

[Guy Incognito]

Bdrmm/Loraine James/Keely Forsyth clash is a killer.

Agreed. Their album 'Bedroom' was one of my favourites of 2020.

Blimey. Take a wodge plus a card then.

Cheers.

“Trialling card machines”

Got to see how this brand new technology works first…

Saw them at Latitude and they were very good; they played some new songs too that sounded great. 

I know they've been mentioned but Just Mustard are similar (ie. loud guitars) so give them a try if you like Bdrmm.

Thanks for this. I seemed to have missed them on the playlist but they sound great. Bit of a clash -tastic evening on Friday it seems 

[xxialac]

Looks like we go the set times 6 days before the event last time out...

[benali]

Goa Express were great yesterday at GM.

I recommend everyone goes to see Lazarus Kane, they tore it apart on the rising stage on Friday. Caroline will be good and Sleep Eaters if you like psych garage type stuff. 

Aoiffe Nessa Francis pulled out of GM, so maybe some question marks as to whether she'll play EoTR?

Covid checks at GM were cursory. Show your pass when entering the site and get a separate wristband. They didn't ask for ID to go with the pass so it could be anyone's.

Think I've only seen 2 people wearing masks the whole weekend. Big Top has been rammed with the sort of mosh pits you'd expect for bands like Shame and Black Midi.

The best thing about being here is spending a week liberated from all the shit that's been happening the past 18 months. No one I've spoken to has mentioned covid, it's been overwhelmingly positive to be in a field with loads of smiling, happy people who are having actual fun. 

It's never nice to leave festivals after having a great time but tomorrow is going to suck.

Can anyone remember if they sell ice in the onsite shop?
