really glad to see ocs back at V this year, quality band. looks like they have been given a really low slot on the mainstage, do we think they will open the stage? surley someone will be sloted below them? glad they are on the oasis day too, hope all the oasis fans come out in force to watch ocs

[richietal]

Yeah, they are indeed quality. Doubt they'll open the stage though, they'll probably be given a slot mid afternoon much like Shed Seven were last year. Who were, incidentally, absolutely awesome.

OCS are my favourite band on the bill and far better than Oasis, I'm sure they will put on a great show. I thought they had split up cos Steve Craddock was touring alone last year. Can't wait to see em live again.

Anyone that has only heard their singles should check out their Anthology triple CD, it's pure class.

[richietal]

Is any of the stuff from B-Sides, Seasides & Freerides on that? Because some of the the tracks on that such as Robin Hood and Outside Of A Circle are purely spine tingling.

Havnt really heard of this band, reconise "The day we caugh the train" but not may of the others.

Any of their songs i really should listen to ?

[richietal]

try these for starters. they are phenomenal live - seen them 4 times.

riverboat song

the circle

hundred high mile city

huckleberry grove

chelsea walk

i think they will be on first or 2nd. look at last year when stranglers and squeeze opened...makes sense to get a fairly big name on first to get people in the arena spending their dosh!

I wish they weren't on the main stage.

The atmosphere was brilliant when they were in the JJB tent a few years back although a bit crowded!

Spot on. Best band of the festival for me.

1997 * Noel Gallagher sends Steve Cradock a message that contains the words "Congratulation to the second best band in Britain" *

* Steve Cradock replies "Thanks Noel, it's great to hear we are the second best band in Britain, ahead of Oasis but behind the Beatles" *

What a legend and Ocean Colour Scene are a great band!!

any of you got the Oasis/OCS/Weller version of Day Tripper? It's grrrrrrrreat

[richietal]

That's the version on B-sides, Seasides and Freerides isn't it? Just looked on the inlay card and Noel and Liam are mentioned but not Weller.

Man that was an expensive album to buy.
