shoebox Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 We've definitely still got the contest winners to be announced. And following their announcement that the comedy line-up is coming this week, they Tweeted: " For now, here's a reminder of our music cast as it stands, who's on your 'must-see' list?!" I'm inclined to believe that Ezra Furman will be playing. I'm seeing him in Ramsgate on the Bank Holiday Monday, so he's over for a festival or two.

paulwa Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 The Comedy Stage. Does anyone here bother or even care? I can't say I've ever made it down there, there's too much good music and real ale to check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoebox Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Nope, not for me. I went to Knightmare Live when it was on a couple of years ago and it was quite, quite brilliant. So I'll be trying to hit that up again. But it's after hours, once all the music (with the exception of late night Tipi sets) has stopped. During the day, I've rarely got time to think about anything other than the tunes. That said, it's a pretty solid looking line-up this year, but I still don't think I'll make it down that way.

I enjoyed it when I went and will probably hit up again, it's just really pleasant to sit among the trees like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwa Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) A place to nurse a hangover... I like your thinking! I wasn't even aware that the comedy went on late into the evening, I had thought it stopped fairly early. I wonder if it's somewhere to go while the Woods Stage headliners are on, before the last Big Top gig of the night? I usually head for a hot cider and campfire then though.

gigs Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Always try and get down to the comedy stage for Robin Ince and his book club on a saturday night...Also saw Tony Law the other year, who was quite amusing. Who remembers this from the comedy stage late night last year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulwa Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I've been checking out Jeffrey Lewis. His album "12 Crass Songs" was a major discovery. Crass were a band I loved as a youth and hearing their protest lyrics reworked into folk songs only made them seem yet more eloquent and powerful. Although it's one of his older albums, the fading anarcho-punk in me is hoping he plays something from it at EOTR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiepaul Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I saw Jeffrey Lewis a few months ago and he did play at least one from the Crass Songs album. You are definitely in for a treat if you go and see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so unexpected and the way she ambled down to the stage giggling, it looked as if it was going to be a disaster, but as you can see she pulled it superbly.

Nick07 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Jayhawks should play the Sunday as gap in schedule and in Bristol the night before Can't see them getting many bigger acts though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick07 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Some clue says SUPER excited and guesses welcome. Super Furries be ideal for it but got a massive fee for playing Greenman so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unlikely considering they will be at Festival Number Six and Electric Picnic for two of the festival's days. Would be an almost perfect act to put on before Animal Collective though! What are Superchuk up to these days? I can't think of any other SUPER bands that would fit End of the Road off the top of my head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they'd sub at a smaller festival. I also think that even if SFAs hadn't played before, they'd be headlining, so no chance of them. No idea who it could be.
