End of the Road Festival

[MadWorld74]

anyone going this year....here are some of my memories from 09...

enjoy

[Ted Max]

Here are some of my memories from 09. The long summer that we thought would never end. Lawn tennis with Bunty and Amelia. Maurice's school chum Henry hanging around like a tress of felled willow all holiday. Mama's headaches and Father coming down to the country at the weekends.

Henry and Maurice both bought it at Ypres, of course, and Father's never been the same.

you big meanie Ted!

Alas I won't be able to make this year's - other commitments which I can't get out of. but 2008 was awesome

But I can't say clearly enough just how lovely this festival is. Great band selection, great environment, great cinema tent - only 5000 people tops. Even the loos don't get too bad

[MadWorld74]

SMG I thought you had already bought your tickets? PM me if you want to sell them to me!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Never did buy them in the end MW, so.. nothing to sell - sorry

[MadWorld74]

apart from your lovely self of course, corner of Lordship Lane and Barry, 8pm by the lampost.....that's not an offer by the way just a statement!

[SeanMacGabhann]

more likely to be corner of LL and East Dulwich Grove these days, but trade has dropped off in these hard times. And I'm not getting any younger

[Ted Max]

If you can't go West, you could head East, where there's a couple of extra tickets available for Latitude this year.

[SeanMacGabhann]

so 2010 then - tickets on sale, 20+ acts announced, Wilco headlining

I'm already booked and good to go. Did I hear a rumour that they might be moving from Larmer Tree Gardens? Would be a real shame if they did - it fits perfectly and if they are doing it to get "bigger" will it be the same

Anyway... anyone else going ??

[david_carnell]

Yes. +2 around the MacGabhann campfire please.

[SeanMacGabhann]

ah yes, the downside of posting on a public forum ;-)

Strict no-felice-brother-around-the-campfire policy tho

[RosieH]

Can I come and we can sing Kum Ba Ya?

[david_carnell]

If Bellenden Belle get's her way she'd have all three Felice Brothers......

.....round the campfire

[Ted Max]

Nice to see Quids getting into the festival spirit at last year's EOTR.

[????]

I've lost that hat. If anyone finds it can they pm me...I left my baccy in it

[david_carnell]

???? - look closely - you're even wearing your jumper!

[Ted Max]

Just sheer joy and love in his face at having found the magic cider tree.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, you never change your socks

And little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks

i will almost coitanly be going this year, after 'downsizing' from glastonbury and looking for something a little smaller. My GF can't make that weekend, so may have to go alone- are the good people of EDF welcoming enough to let a stranger join the fold?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Hmmm "coitanly"

that was either an attempt at New Yawk pronunciation, or something any camper should be worried about

But by all means fall in with the group - might be wise to attand a monthly drinks or two beforehand to assess "things" tho

[titch juicy]

yeah, it was a rubbish and pointless new york accent

splendid! when are the next drinks? i should really look for a thread i guess

[brum]

I'm a bit disappointed as I hoped the title of the thread referred in some way to my football club :(

A separate festival will be held in May.

[brum]

Indeed kpc, lets hope so! I wonder how many reading this are scratching their heads wondering what on earth we are on about?!

[titch juicy]

where all the love, you've been dreaming of will be there? where?

At the end...... Of the Road
