Meh, maybe that's why he likes her

Here's the review: egigs!

It's also a review of Nouvelle Vague, & may give pointers to the sort of songs they cover....

[timespeedsup]

LOL, Scottie the cradle snatcher!

[William of Walworth]

Nouvelle Vague -- covers of well known songs in a smokey 40s French Night Club stylee -- ther version of 'Guns of Brixton' by The Clash is the business!

Glad to see from that review that they're still doing that one, plus 'To Drunk to Fukk' by the Dead Kennedys!!!

N.Vague are simply awesome. I am made up they are playing.

The new girls singing are good - their God Save The Queen is deliciously sexy

[technowomble]

...and they look wicked!

BD is for me the best festival of hte year, and now that I see Zion Train are playing, my summer is complete.

Was going to Endorse it in dorset, but just seen that the greatest band of 14 legs are playing - Need to convince the Mrs that Beautiful Days would be better than Endorse it this year - any tips

is it any good for kids???

[falcozappa]

Yeah, its totally kid friendly. My 4 and 6 year old neices had a whale of a time last year, and are looking forward to this year.
