sime Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 I'm liking this line up. I'll have to miss most things on Saturday and Sunday unfortunately due to clashes but will be able to make a few sets on Friday including... Sniff 'n' The Tears!

Bike_Like_A_Mum Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Literally don't know a single person on there so can't comment on whether it's good or bad, don't have a clue. Not for me this one, already got a stacked festival over the rest of the farm so probably won't see inside the acoustic tent (again) this year. Enjoy all of you who do 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primalcrux Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 For me similar to other years I would say (although comparing to this year, I actually like this year's line up better). Would like to see Gavin James, Netwon Faulkner, Sniff 'n' the Tears or Bootleg Beatles, but probably will see neither because of clashes!

Sasperella2 Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 I have never even been into the Acoustic tent other than to seek refugee from the blistering heat on Saturday 2019. However, there are 3/4 things here I would happily watch and a load more I have never heard of - seems about like normal for this stage, no? Intevitably I will not go to any of it other than to hide from weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrog Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Is it just me or is about three quarters of that Irish? Anyway, a big fat yawn from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-TLR- Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 seeing as how i've only ever seen like four acts there over the years it seems pretty standard to me. nobody on there for me to make me use the Acoustic field as anything but a cut-through again... (whilst stopping off for a pint and a toasted kimchi sandwich obviously 😀). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 I'm sad enough (and old enough) to have been quite pleased to see Gilbert O'Sullivan on there as he has some good tunes. But at that time on Sunday I'll no doubt be waiting for Elton - or possibly seeing Caroline Polachek or War on Drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 I think it's pretty good. Steve Earle and Saw Doctors could easily be my Friday night. Another 4 or 5 I could happily make the treck for. At least there's no Scouting For Girls this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerraw2525 Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 The Mary Wallopers are great live. As close as you'll get to The Pogues and that's coming from the Pogues themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catavento Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Looks alright to me, pretty much standard, plenty to enjoy if it's your thing. I don't tend to hang around the Acoustic all the time but it's always nice to stumble into it every now and again when you need a break, pint of ale and a bit of food, often somebody on singing an old classic or two.

I feel like last year at least had some decent cross-generation acts, plus The Waterboys and Heaton/Abbot are of a genuinely decent stature. Suppose Harding and Fripp are moderately relevant this year, but I shan't be attending in a rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Agree that its very much par for the course. A lot of the acts are regulars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeydredlox Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 I like the acoustic stage, I tend to wander in there of a hot afternoon with a pint of something nice from the Cockmill Bar. It's a gentle reminder to try and never become that person who sits in a chair and reads a newspaper, during the greatest festival of entertainment on the planet. I don't usually stay long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
