Short but very, very sweet. I thought they did a very decent job of capturing the essence in 12 minutes, though, as usual, the wacky presenters feature a bit too heavily. They have such great footage, though, surely that's not all they are going to put together? There is a fabulous DVD in there. I'm sure the choice of artists they included will divide opinion but for every Joanna there's a Treefight, for every Marling, a Bob Log, and there's a great John Grant sequence.

Don't know about 4OD but it's on Catch-up for Virginmedia punters.

Talking of John Grant, he's on BBC4 tonight in a bizarre looking 'Songwriters Circle' with Allen Toussaint and James Dean Bradfield! Also, a rerun of 'Troubadors' and a new 'Singer Songwriters at the BBC' compilation including Tim Buckley and a Leonard Cohen/Julie Felix duet!

That's certainly what I'm hoping for. Always felt he would be a good fit anyway.

I watched this a couple of times last night and didn't see myself. But didn't really expect to. Such a shame it was so short. Would have been nice to stretch it out for another 10/15 minutes at least. Rockfeedback gave Primavera 25 minutes of coverage, EOTR deserved it as well.

WackoJacko - many thanks for posting the link - great stuff! John Grant bit alone made it worthwhile - spine tingling (and no I wasn't the one who asked him for his phone number ^_^ )

Its good, but really really short, will it disappear in 5 days??? Oh it just reminded me how great John Grants performance really was. Agree tho about the presenters, that is the guy who actually started up Rockfeedback right? Who is the woman and WTF is she going on about Dawsons Creek, does she think we are all teenagers, I wasn't really sure if she was taking the piss or not.

I saw Big Deal last night supporting Cloud Control and chatted to Alice afterwards, she said how lovely EoTR was.

I enjoyed the footage, the interviews with the artists & organisers. Did give a good sense of the atmosphere of the festival.

As already mentioned, the presenters, oh dear.... That bit at the cider bus was just unnecessary and some of their 'chat' (ie the Dawsons Creek stuff), well, I think it's fair to say it was dreadful. Maybe I'm not the audience this hliarity was aimed at. They'd be better off letting the footage of the festvial speak for itself.
