Don't take the bait!

Day splits were out 24 April last year. Hopefully same sort of time again.

Didn't you know that he's permanently camped in the woods?

Long time reader first time getting involved…

 

As we know Geese are going to be playing at some point at EOTR I have a question.

 

I have seen that Geese have been playing a lot of covers on their tour. E.g. Movin’ on Up in Glasgow. 
 

This brings me onto the thought of what covers they will play at Larmer Tree Gardens??? Will they play into a geographical element I wonder…

Angine De Poitrine have the most insane touring schedule (can't blame them for milking their newfound fame). I wonder if they'll still be holding up ok by September or burned out.

The clever thing is that there’s probably a bunch of different people dressed up like that, so they can play all over the place. They have to be careful and not end up like The Wurzels, who seem to have most West Country pubs booked each weekend.

Ha. A funny thought that the original band could decide to be in the crowd watching the 'band' play.

Ooo interesting, I’m from near by Andover so was thinking maybe The Troggs aha. Can imagine Cameron Winter belting out Wild Thing…

Nah, EOTR are definitely getting a full and exclusive White Stripes reunion.

This would be bloody amazing.

Every year since the Third Man Records stall was established we've heard that Jack White is guaranteed to be a secret set. Also, why would he then end that run of dates in Ireland rather than England?

[xxialac]

Of course it's not Jack White playing a secret set. And incidentally there's no run of 4 gigs on that poster. Plus, you know, it's Geese.

Aer Lingus fly direct to Nashville now so he'll be flying home from there. 

 

Could defo do a Ryanair - Bristol and back though amirite

[zahidf]

He was surprisingly great at the Troxy last year, as someone who was previously ambivalent about Mr White.

Logistics wise, it's very unlikely they'd take everything to Ireland, then take it back to England.

But I've also personally never loved Mr White
