... am sure I overheard few people talking about East Dulwich while there this w/e.


While the headline acts didn't do for me what Sigor Ros did last year (got the hairs on the back of my neck up before anyone asks!) can't really complain about the depth and breadth of things to see and do, everything from seeing great new music (Paloma Faith), old favourites (Robin Ince's Book Club) and learning to Charleston with Keith Allen (well, he was a few people infront of me!).


Soooo... anyone else?!

yes we went! was good but yes, I agree with you about the headline acts. it was our third year of going and it was definately the weakest in that sense but it did make us go and find out some of the other things though which we haven't done so much of in the past.


Have to say I loved Spiritualized, Wild Beasts and Jeffrey Lewis' poetry and of course Thom Yorke (who's the main reason we decided to go in the end!!) and we watched the new Shane Meadow's film 'Le Donk & Scorz-ayz-ee' (hilarious). Always throughly enjoy Latitude festival and def. one of the best out there to go to.

Hopefully one of you managed to catch my Brooklyn mates outfit The Phenomenal Handclap Band. After Hyde Park a few weeks back they finished their European tour on Saturday and said Latitude was their best gig yet.


So again, thats......The Phenomenal Handclap Band straight out Brooklyn NYC y'all.


Check out the live stuff on you tube. Also did a session on Mark Radcliffe last week.

We were in Tangerine Fields so didn't have to pitch the tent ourselves but still had few damp bits come friday morning - blame ourselves for thurs night - had left wellies and mac's in the tent as thought rain wasn't coming until the friday!!


MrBen - missed your friends band which is shame having followed your link as they sound great :'( is so much going on there that short of cloning myself was always going to miss a few bits!

I went too. I loved Regina Spektor too. survived monsoon.


Grace Jones as well was madder than a Christmas tree and all the better for it. I cant believe she kept that hula hoop up for the whole of slave to the rhythm! Impressive.


I know what you mean about having to clone yourself though, I missed too many acts I really wanted to see.

Did manage to catch Scott Matthews, very good. Also Doves were fun and Thom Yorke was really ace. O and the end of the Gossip's set was brilliant.


and Swan lake on the waterfront stage followed by break dancing was very good.


sadly missed the phenomenal handclap band due to boring parenting duties.


as to the food, quite good but well expensive. ?1 for 1 doughnut! FFS! and no stall selling hot chocolate with booze in it to keep you warm and drunk on the late nights was a blow. nice to see the Sea Cow with a massive q all the time.


I was in the family field, and I'm sure the family in the tent very near ours were from ED as well. Any of you lot in the family field? with kids about 9 or 10 ish?

    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.    
    • Real Life was released in 1978. Yes it is a classic album.
