It was the Isle of Wight at the weekend  and Glasto begins on Friday - apparently  bound to rain then ?

I watched some of it on TV. Stereophonics took me back a bit!

[CLKD]

Better on TV Taz2 than actually being in that hot, sweaty, noise

You can't beat being at a live festival but the cost puts us off nowadays.

I think that many have out-priced themselves in recent years.  Fairport went from a Friday night, Sat afternoon/evening weekend in August to starting on Thursdays - now they suggest that it's becoming too expensive to put on.  Well mayB cut back to Friday/Sat.?  We stopped going in 1990 because every1 around us were talking above the music so it became a waste of money  .  Then anxiety struck so I can't do it these days

Saw the oldies, Tavares, Stylistics , Four Tops, and loads more.
Saw Simlpy Red twice,
Saw Bowie too.

Seeing Madonna in October. 
And Peter Kay next year. ( I know he's not a musician) 🤭

[che]

Love live music, used to go to loads when i was younger, after work, Madonna was my first in 87 now seeher 11 times, Also in my mind i was luck to see MJ, been to U2, bon jovi many times too, and and endless line of 80 synth and 90 brit pop with DH. But i can not get him out the house now a days he is a tv addict. I hope to go to Marti pellow in oct. Did Glasto twice once terrible mud (98 and then 99 robbie, blur, pulp, rem, lenny kravic, skunk anasie, also reading oasis, placebo, were amazing. Did try for oasis tix but sadly no. Even sat on the sofa my arm are in the air swaying and punching away and singing along.

I’ve been to a lot of concerts, but my first real festival was Reading back in the early 2000s and nothing really prepares you for the mix of awesome live music and total chaos. My friends and I camped out, lost a tent to a heavy rain, and probably ate way too many food truck burgers. But singing along with a huge crowd is one of the best feelings.

It can definitely get expensive, especially these days, I've noticed ticket prices keep going up every season. I usually end up searching different sites to find better deals or last-minute resale tickets. If anyone’s looking for big acts like Oasis, there are sites that specialize in Oasis tickets even if the original sales are sold out, so that’s been a useful trick for me.

Reading = mud.  Glasto = mud.

2 weeks until Fairport Reunion at Cropredy 

[Taz2]

Cropredy = mud? 

[CLKD]

We've sat there in all weathers other than snow, haven't been since 1990 due to anxiety .  Don't remember mud !

[Taz2]

It's just you said Glasto mud and Reading mud so I thought that Cropredy might have also been mud 😂

Not in my memory.  We sat under a large fishing brolley 1 year against the sun and heavy showers, the following Festival a lot of people brought them.

I’ve seen Debbie Harry and Then Jericho at the UEA . Crowded House and Dire Straits at Wembley ( sat behind Jimmy Nail blast he’s tall). Seen lots of tours of old bands such as The Hollies, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Searchers, Freddy and the Dreamers, and Gene Pitney all at The Norwoodrooms. But my best band is MUSE. Seen then at Wembley, The Emirates stadium, The O2 and Milton Keynes bowl. Been a fan for a loooong time and I love them. Also love organists Anna Lapwood and Loreto Aramundi. Met OH when he was the lightin and sound man for a local rock band called Thus Way Up in the 90’s. Our daughter is an organist too. My dad is in his 80’s and still regularly sings on open mic nights, as does my sister. My mum is 84 and she plays tambourine and sings ‘Your pants are on fire’ to Kings of Leon.
