Mild, Misty and drizzle up here. Very unseasonable. Our house is currently where Santa has stored our grandkids pressies, so once they are safely tucked up in bed I get on the sleigh, disguised as a Vauxhall Astra, and do the deliveries making sure the mince pies and carrots left out are consumed.
Oh god has it, I went to the first one, despite it being much closer to Sunderland than Reading I never really got on with it, maybe because Reading, 95 especially, holds such a place in my heart of my first festival, being far too young and loving every second. I also has a great time in 97, much more alcohol involved in that one. Been back to Reading a few times since (and have lived in London for 20 years now so it is easier) but never went back to Leeds
Pretty sure that Erasure has never been asked and have been vocal about been overlooked. Maybe they just don't like Vince Clarke and hold a grudge that even his old bands will not play. I wonder if Yazoo ever played?
I always liked the Reading site. The layouts good, it鈥檚 nearly in town and it has a history to it-though it makes me feel frighteningly old to realise Leeds has been going for 25 years. But the sound just isn鈥檛 loud enough.
