Mogs Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Madworld74 - my husband and I have just come back from Croyde, I agree it's a wonderful place we (my family) all meet up for our annual holiday there. But we will be spending the most of the weekend finishing off DIY Jobs :-( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/598-bank-holiday-weekend/page/3/#findComment-35305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TillieTrotter Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 If anyone at a loose end today, a picnic over Dulwich Park (nearish to play area) is being arranged for about oneish today.

Keef Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Just back from Rading festival, and feeling a bt brain fried!Highlights... The Smashing Pumpkins didn't let me down, they really were awesome, and a great finish to the whole thing! >:D<Also, just before them were Nine inch nails, and they were really impressive!!! The Gossip were great, she has an amazing voice, and quite a lovable lass she is too.One in a smaller tent was The Living End on the first night. They're an Aussie band that we saw at a festival in Melbourne last New Years Eve, they're good fun, and pretty mean guitarists!Apparently Razorlight were very good, but they're not really my bag, so I went elsewhere. There was some good comedy on, but I can't remember anyone's name.Biggest let down was The Chili Peppers... They were due on for a 2 hour set, and we were expecting all the big hits. However, they started well, then just got extreamly boring and started jamming. Anthony Kiedis seemed really pissed off about a technical hitch, and just didn't seem to want to be there (I suspect he was smacked out of his head). To be fair to them, it was the last gig of a very long tour, but he others all seemed to get in to it. Flea was amazing on the bass, but they were very quiet, and just not particularly good. This was just my opinion, and I heard a lot of people saying the same thing, but others seemed to think they were good, so there you go. However, playing a festival and leaving Under the Bridge out of your set, that's just wrong!Anyway, top weekend, and glad I booked the next 2 days off work, as I need to sleep!!! Think I'm getting to old for all this lark, and felt quite old there, as half the crowd were under 20, and seriously on heat!Follow link for BBCs footage (think it's only on line for a week) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/598-bank-holiday-weekend/page/3/#findComment-35440 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TillieTrotter Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Just had the update from my mates who struggled back last night and ended up in the Drum til all hours. Sounds like fun and at least it didnt rain as has been wont to do this year everytime the word festival has been mentioned. Had a nice few hours in DP followed by nicer few hours in the Dog.

Jah Lush Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 In a very delicate state today. Couldn't make it down there MW74 as lots of other things happening but it sounds like you had a good time. Had a very very debauched weekend myself, periwinkled and penguin powdered. I'm feeling absolutely terrible but it was worth it. That's me off the sauce for the rest of the week.

BarryRoad Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I had a lovely weekend. I went back to work at the CPT for a few shifts as all but one of the regular staff were at Reading Festival with Keef.Nice and quiet, ate too many crisps.Also saw Ant stroll by with his family - great weather for it :-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/598-bank-holiday-weekend/page/3/#findComment-35499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Razorlight were really sh!te Keef - you should be glad you missed it. My mate really wanted to see them so had to endure 30 minutes before I escaped to see Ash :) I was so disappointed Razorlight were headlining - they should have moved KOL up. Anyway - agree re Chillis, Smashing Pumpkins, Gossip and NIN - OMG that was an awesome set.Impressed with The Enemy, Sunshine Underground and Maps. Also strangely really liked Battles (strange only because not usually my thing). Great weekend - so much so, I have almost forgotten the annoying millions of 16-19 year olds. I didn't book time off work so am struggling with a sore head, dodgy throat and severe lethargy :( I have at least showered since my return yesterday and all-day drink-fest in Black Cherry yesterday.Groan - back to work.
