END OF THE ROAD FESTIVAL

[festival bob]

If you're getting a taxi I think there are stations like Gillingham that are nearer to the site than Salisbury. Also my colleague who is going got megatrain tickets from London to Salisbury for a quid.

i spoke to someone at the festival about this- they said last year they realise they made a big mistake on the transport......they said they were going to target it as a specific area for improvement. fingers crossed....

I think someone's missed the point of EOTR here (there's a clue in the title, for a start): http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/08/..._festivals.html

Just so it's not me moaning, there's been a few minor bands added.

quite right- im guessing they read the front of the booklet and little else- and didnt even bother to go to the website. the inner page of the booklet lays out a pledge to provide an 'intimate, non corporate festival experience where

-the whole lineup is the headliner

-bands play longer sets

-high quality, locally soucred and organic food,

-caring friendly security

-no advertising hoardings

-crowd their for the music....

Oh....and of course having a SWEDISH SHOWCASE and a SECRETLY CANADIAN SHOWCASE----those two things dont target specific audiences?

Rather brilliantly- end of the road conforms to all of the other 'rules' listed.....unique headliners- Super Furry ANimals, Yo la Tengo and midlake, and a full band lambchop (check)

and finally...

if you look at his other articles- the bands he likes , are in the mainpart, either fashion elecro bands, or bleepy trend bands............and theyve all been around for ages....

rubbish

[roib]

oh plus he doesnt do the math that the two bands put out by the end of the road label are country pop-----------he's even written about one of them.......jeez louise

I so much want to book my ticket and will do so soon, but I'm waiting to see if my good friend wants to come too .... I should know before the end of the week though, one way ot t'other.

There should be a reasonable number of tix left though, they were advertising in the Guardian on Saturday ....

I've done the Larmer Tree Fest in the past. I can't dribe, but I hope my friend comes with her car. If not, there is a standard bus link from Salisbury Bus Station (the main one just off the market square) with buses serving Weymouth and/or Blandford Forum, these are double deckers, usually, and leave Salisbury hourly, calling at the end of the lane** (no miore than hal a mile from the site)

**Driver can tell you which lane ...

But if there's a special dedicated minibus service that would be so much better

I've been thinking about getting a ticket for this for the last couple of months. Weather, money & noone to go with were all issues to consider, but 10mins after reading this thread for the first time in ages - WOOHAR I have ticket booked!

Good old eFests, always effective at twisting me arm.... :angry:

Saw Peggy Sue and the Pirates at Electric Gardens!

EXCELLENT! :angry:

[geofelgie]

Booked this festival purely on the strength of Lambchop, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Midlake, Malcolm Middleton, The Twilight Sad, British Sea Power, Sunny Day Sets Fire, Hush the Many and I'm From Barcelona......but been investigating the bands I didn't know and I'm starting to get seriously excited........

Wave Pictures, Actress Hands, Reigns, Fireworks Night, HYacinth House, Young Republic, Woodpigeon, Seventeen Evergree, Viking Moses, Lonna Kelley and Wovenhand all seem damn good and there's plenty more are "intriguing".

Mind, for those who've not been....the site and the bar are the real stars.

My only worry is saving enough energy for the sunday!!!!!!!!!!!
