IOW Sky Arts coverage

[WEBBERdrum]

Coverage of IOW on Skay arts HD1 and sky 3D for those lucky enough to have it, on as we speak until midnight and 10 to midnight on each of the day of the festival.

have to say the coverage isnt great though. not particularly slick production, horrendously awkward interviews and an irish chap who seems to be bloody awful. the tour of the site was the best though, the chap was stood in the stage field, then went to look at the food stalls.......and that was it. brilliant .

never like the sound mix for sky arts festival coverage either, they absolutely the two hour highlights programme of cropredy festival last year.

hopefully it'll get better.

Absolute toss, just watching it now. They got both Courteeners songs wrong on the captions and to be fair it doesn't matter cus Liam is having a sh!te singing night by the looks of it anyways. Crowd are avin it tho so thumbs up for them, let's hope KOL bother in their performance, but we all know they throw the toys out when things ain't going good  ahem.

I relise there is issues with bands letting their performances be shown but some of the choices are random. That Parade and semi precious weapons was interesting!! and no chase and status.

Yeah it's pretty poor. It seems quite windy but the sound quality was bad, presenters announcing one act/stage and then cutting to another, Wild Beasts live and then acoustic backstage shortly after (seems a bit of an odd choice to have the same band doing both in such a short space of time). Generally a bit amateurish, poor Zoe Ball looks like she's taken a massive step down.
