I'll also be at Dropkick Murphys. Lucy, if you've seen the Film "The Departed" you've heard their Shipping Up to Boston song.

 

Not sure if I have! Thanks, will investigate

[Quark]

Song recommendations for the Murphys (for me)

Kiss Me I'm Shitfaced

Fields of Athenry

As One

Black Velvet Band

The Dirty Glass

Going to listen to them now

EDIT: just give Live on Lansdowne, Boston Ma a listen.

I think we should have an NFR_NFC meeting point for the Dropkick Murphys

That could work, although I still don't know whether it'll be them or Ruby Wax!

Generally try to avoid the bottom half of the internet no BBC and the like, but saw someone had posted this on a topic.  Love it, may use this in future.

[Quark]

So I reckon we're looking at the 3pm NYBB and then on to the Theatre & Circus bar for booze after that?

Sounds good to me!

Hi all - sounds like a plan is forming - NYBB were on my list for some point over the weekend so definitely up for that at 3 then I also have The Smyths at 5 so free until then  - also think T & C bar was a good place to meet up - as Mr Yeti wisely said booze and benches (and tables to dance on Quark if you are that way inclined).  Me and Mr Dotty are going to try (babysitting arrangements and work permitting) to come down on the Wednesday for the first time ever this year so may well see some of you at the efests meet as well - it is THIS MONTH!!!!!!! Hurrah !

PS Quark we can have booze at NYBB as well don't worry

Why would you want to dance on Quark?

Maybe I want to be danced upon.

Maybe. Still not sure why it would require a table, anyway.

Anybody know the theatre field well enough to nominate a good meeting point? I have a feeling the gateway riser might be quite busy, and difficult to find each other!

I don't even  known what the "gateway riser" is...am I being properly dumb? Is it the big t&c archway sign thing?...

Unless I'm much mistaken, it's right up at the top of the theatre field. If you come out of the acoustic/cinema field, it's right in front of you. Basically just a level platform in the centre of the sloping field.

In that kind of direction? Like up and under the red sign..

I thought I could remember but clearly I have no idea  

Yeah, I think so.

Is the Pimms bus in that field, on the left as you go in? Are we convening at the Theatre bar (is that the place with lots of chairs just up from the Summerhouse stage?)  or the Ridge and Furrow?  Sorry I realise I've just answered your question with a load more questions!

[Curlygirl]

Hi guys. @naughtygeorgie I'll be going to the GG meet at 11am at the village in.  Then on to meet Gumballs at the riser thing for nybb. I too fancy the smyths I think at Williams green at 5.

I read that as 'the tables will dance on Quark!'

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a cocktail bus at the top of that field, not sure if that's the same one you mean, though. Ridge & Furrow seems to be the popular choice after.

Morning all. It's cold and dull up here. Which I'm hoping is a good thing as it may get some 'not dry stuff' out of the way! I'm sat awaiting an MRI. Hopefully get my knees a little bit better before completely fucking them up with some dancing like a lunatic! I've heard alcohol helps

Morning all

[noplacelikehome]

Morning all! Just to clarify I wasn't suggesting we dance on Quark, but if he is up for it then I am sure we can oblige
