Thread: Music festivals

  1. #1

    Music festivals

    Used to do em all

    Monsters of rock , download, reading , Glastonbury

    Off my head most of the time

    Hated them when it pissed down , nothing worse than a cold wet tent

    In later years me and mates would club in for a motorhome , expensive but worth it , I am not into holidays and all the pissing about with airports and passports etc so a long weekend chilling out and listening to music would replace that

    Wish I could go back to being 21 again

    I can't stand them. I don't understand the appeal of being in a field with thousands of wanky kids, watching a bunch of bands you don't like, so when a band you do like comes along you can watch them play outside from hundreds of yards away.

    With age I have come to that conclusion , it's a sort of rites of passage though , like your first away trip with kayrdiff

    Still love my gigs though , machine head in Cardiff in two weeks

    Sludge, you should get along to MERTHYR RISING, a decent festival that's just up the road, May 25th-27th. Merthyr Rising is a music, arts and ideas festival that celebrates working class culture and resistance at the birthplace of the red flag. That's right up your alley Sludgey However, not too many loud n' shouty bands for you tho. florence Black might be your cup of tea tho'? The type of band you might be able to join in the mosh pit, make devil signs at, or play air guitar along to. You can always pogo along to Foreign Legion. Not sure if there is anyone else there for you to get down n' dirty too.

    Here's the link for it:

    Sadly for me there is no Northern Soul dance tent...ahh well....

    I see Glenn Hughes is headling on the Saturday night. One of my all time favourite rock vocalists. A big soul fan too. Black Star Riders are healing on the Sunday night. Any band with Scott Gorham in, is alright by me. You going along this year Sludgey?

    P.S You are sooo right about Shitpop. Was there one decent band to come out of the whole era?

    Bristol Let’s Rock start of June with ABC, Human League, Mark Almond, OMD etc.
    Then in July got free tickets for the entire weekend of Two Thousands Trees just down the road from where I live. Enter Shikari are headlining. So a nice mix of up and coming bands and 80’s stuff.

    I used to like Elephant Fair in St Germans, Cornwall best. Last went there 1986. Did Glastonbury in 1984, not as good as the Fair. They were both very much a haze, but thought Elephant Fair had a bit more culture about it, where Glastonbury, even back then was becoming very commercialised.
