I only have a few booked in comparison to the multitude I normally have but that's mainly down to not knowing my uni timetable yet and I kind of have to work around that as I'm in the arsehole of nowhere in Wales...

Yah uni's screwed my Jack White gig. Don't think I can get back to Newcastle after it, and I have 9-5 pretty much every day. I liked it better when I didn't get into uni.

Well I'll have to make my way back to Aberystwyth after Jack White on a monday night! Haven't caught him live before and he really is one of my favourite musicians so I can't really turn down the opportunity. Saying that, History degree's aren't as intense as Medicine so I'm not in as bad a situation as you :P If it means I'll have to miss a seminar though then I'm fucked as they're properly regulated. A lecture or two I don't mind missing but not a seminar... :/

excuses excuses.. :P

Haha, I've already taken her to see gaga before as well. I've taken her to a right load of shit over the years. Even did the glee concert with meet and greet....

We were sat right in the middle of the fucking stage too, I was mortified, dreading someone from work had taken their kids or something haha

My mum keeps wanting me to go to a concert with her, I'm a bit apprehensive because the last one she tried to take me to was Michael Buble :ninja:

This is when I understand it. You see a band at a festival who are good but they do a shorter set so you want to see more and different songs at their own show.

Saying that, at End Of The Road all acts are given a normal length set - the shortest I saw was 30 minutes by The Wytches but they were allotted a full hour, they just chose not to take it. The average was about an hour and not one of those sets made me think "well I've seen the act now, I wouldn't go to one of their own shows" - If I can/could, I'd go see all the acts I liked again at their own shows!

Well it depends on how much moneys you have. It's a way to raise my inclination.

Also I'm still bitter. :(

You should be as it was genuinely the best festival I've ever been to :P There's always next year though ;)

I actually got talking to Simon Taffe outside the backstage toilets at the garden stage (long story but it was right after I met bloody Alex Scally!!!) and he was saying that as its the 10th anniversary next year, he has in mind to book a few artists that rarely tour over hear (and when I mentioned Stars, he just grinned and said 'see you next year'!!!) :biggrin:

It was astonishing last year. I think Bestival '11 topped it IMO but still absolutely magical. And yeah, defo next year. Just gutting the timing of getting ill :(
