2001 called and it wants its music back.

So it's music and "chefs"... presumably the "chefs" part of it involves buying very small portions of food at around a fiver each. Which is fine - but what you're actually getting for the (rather high) ticket price is the music.

To be fair it's obviously aimed at a middle-aged, middle-class, middle-of-the-road market so the choice of music is probably about right. One assumes that the latest drill, drum n' bashment, jungle-terror, or whatever the hell people listen to now wouldn't be a great fit.

Shiteloader? And that dreadful tw@t Jonny Borrell? Perhaps we can dig a big hole in the park before they get there and bulldoze them all into it (not Basement Jaxx though, they are spared).

You speak the truth!!

I mean..Roland Gift? Toploader? Razorlite?(or is it light?..was this a Freudian slip)

I wouldn't go to this if they were paying me!

And cooking demos? I mean it all just sounds pretty pointless to me its a bit like some sort of foodie event with dated mainstream bland music.

I can't imagine who would pay those prices for tickets as one assumes food and drinks once in are premium prices.

Not as good as OnBlackheath in terms of music (which still veers towards the bland at times)

I like Basement Jaxx, but it's a lot of money for a cooking demo/ expensive food/ background music thing.

Sort of a mixed-up-not-sure-what event

Blackheath had a fab line up last year - haven't seen this year's but should probably look...summer's on it's way!!!!

[NewWave]

We saw Grace Jones at Blackheath utterly brilliant!

And such a well organised event with clean loos!

this thread could turn in to a sit com.

Sounds comically bad. A 'festi' for well off middle class folk, who like to pretend they are cool every once in a while, but fail horribly.

It's quite clever from the organisers though, they'll make a killing on, as someone said earlier, pints for ?6.50. ironically, there will still be complaints from locals about the meekest, most tame festival in the whole country, which is actually perfect for them.

I might break in just for a laugh, and admire all the Hunter wellies, even though there is not a speck of mud to be seen.

Jump over the fence, neck some acid and roll around naked in the mud in front of the cookery demo. Great festival memories.

did you go naked in the mud? I remember naked muddy people!

Maybe we've met :-)

[Shivering swan1]

I'll definitely jump the fence, but will not be dropping acid or rolling around in mud. At this type of event, I'll probably get looked at like dog mess for smoking a cigarette, anything more insalubrious than that, god help me!

No cookery demos though. It was porridge in the morning, soup and bread later....balancing on scaffolding poles for lavs, separated by sacking that blew around in the wind...and the farmer left containers of scrumpy out for free!
