Does this help?

Although I don't always wear green dresses so I might be hard to recognise.

andrewb · 05-08-2006, 21:37

I'll be there... strangely, on stage around 5:45ish... you can't miss me - the odd one bobbing my head - or should that be the odd TWO bobbing OUR heads!? Done a quick weather check and it's looking a bit more promising than BBC weather would have had us believe earlier this week. It's now supposedly going to be 'sunny intervals' rather than 'cat's n dogs'. Good really - laptops n precipitation don't mix too well.

It's been quite good! I found Gayle

Going back now!

I can confirm Cyfr was there cus I got his pic (green tee shirt?)

.. Only saw one other accywebber who had her hands done ..can I put that on here? you know who ya are

... Will post some sample pics in a while

All in all it went well.. slow start.. very hot with no sun... Stayed nice all day and only rained right at the end for the final and main act.. but they must be good because quite a few stopped out in the rain to watch them.

andrewb · 06-08-2006, 18:32

I got very very wet just now

and yes it was me in the green tshirt

semihere · 06-08-2006, 18:45

What an odd do that was... having some kind of obscenity shouted at us from a line of primary school-aged kids. Maybe we were crap, or probably they just wanted us to get off so they could see the main act before they got too wet (forever optimistic), but there's no pleasing everyone I guess - tried to make it a bit more chilled and melodic, but they wanted cheesey pop music, which we can't bring ourselves to write so if we ever play it again they're gonna get nothing but very dirty, very dark hardcore acid, gabba and drum n bass, just to make sure they really hate it... mwuhahaaaa!!

I saw Paul (Funnel) giving it some like a rock star on his guitar... goy bwoy go.

All in all though, a much darker atmosphere than last year - hope it doesn't go any further in that direction because the Mela and the old Sound festival before it were always a really good day out for everyone.

Anyone know what was going on near the end when the music stopped and security started lining up in front of the stage?
