Saw them years ago supporting Mogwai... be ace if they got a slot at GM26

Yeah, I'm manifesting they someone get the slot before Mogwai on the Thursday.

Avalon Emerson dropped her new album Written into Changes last week and it's an absolute banger. It's received impressive reviews from the usual suspects of publications too. She's a total line-up discovery for me, but she's made it onto my 'not to be missed' list.

Thanks for the heads up! Loving this!

The info I got must’ve been bad. Haven’t received info from them before, but I thought with the info I had I could see it happening. Maybe next year, apologies

New Music Friday for GM2026:

 

Lime Garden and My New Band Believe have both released their new records today. And they're both great!

 

Can't wait to see the latter's prog-folk at this year's festival. Hoping for Mountain or Walled Garden as their ridiculously complex sound (118 stringed instruments on the album...???!) might get a little lost in Far Out.

Massive fan of Lime Garden's new release but I can't get on with My New Band Believe at all. Probably for the best as clashes will already be heartbreaking.

Yeah, MNBB takes quite a lot of listening, especially if proggy, time-signature changing stuff isn't usually in your wheelhouse!

 

Saying that, the more I listen to that record, the more excited I am to see them play. Think a more folky, acoustic black midi, but with a lot of the indulgent noodling taken left out!

Last five go through to the final on 2nd June.

New Modern Woman record came out on 1 May, and it's pretty darn good. Looking forward to seeing them.

The likes of @SweepingTheNation generally have a pretty good handle on any non-Rising gaps, but I'd assume so - barring any replacements. Not sure when we get Babbling Tongues or Chai Wallahs?

[Jetshymotion]

New Aldous Harding record is flipping great, btw!

And, with thanks to James Tapp on the GM Happy Campers FB, this looks incredibly handy:

Hey Gang! A member of our party has just got the wonderful news that she's pregnant. She will be about 4 and a bit months at the time of the festival. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience of doing GM festival pregnant before could share how it was and had any advice of how to make it as good as possible? Seems like the vibe,size and family friendly nature would make it one of the better ones to do, but keen to get some advice. Cheers! 

[SweepingTheNation]

Cyn Cwsg, Glasshouse Red Spider Mite, Kiosk, Tall Child and The Slow Country are the Rising finalists. Final on 2nd June.

Talking Shop 18th July
Settlement line-up 22nd July

Stewart must really like Green Man. And who can blame him.

Not Green Man, but did another festival 4 months pregnant. Worth getting in touch with the accessibility team, I was given access to the accessible viewing areas and toilets which really helped! Aside from that, lots of water, the comfiest shoes around and don't plan to see too much as you get knackered easily!

Just one... for a first-timer... autopay is go! Much appreciated !! tixel link: https://tixel.com/u/billp8

I know the clashfinder is still on the unmitigated horse sh*t setting - but these 2 clashes would be horrendously brutal!

Followed just out of shot by Dry Cleaning/ Aldous and Wilco/ Baxter. Yeah, that would all be problematic. Early days though.
