Looking forward to the "40,000 bees and a bloke who used to be in Spiritualized" set, really wanted to go to the London show last year but couldn't.


You do like your drone. There does seems to be quite a buzz about them at the moment, but do you know if it's still all the same members - I'd heard one or two had come down with hives and more others flew off after London, something about a dodgy promoter and being stung?

Enjoyable set, pretty similar to Latitude with one extra new song snuck in I think. Good crowd, plenty of regulars up front, shame about the constant head thudding from the inflatables.

A great start, slightly Ho hum mid set but fantastic close, St Louis and Carrion were fabulous.

Salian Jnr elder went mental, his mate who was a first timer described things as "fucking incredible" as we left in a sweaty heap. Both ridiculously excited by the double bear assault.

It was the only day we visited the site, seemed like a lovely wee festival, easy to get around and well catered, would go again. Some expressed surprise at the relatively modest set timing for BSP but I thing things worked, they were never going to headline and they were the first real name on the day and given the played the tent, their set had the feel of a proper gig, not just a set in front of too many disinterested revellers.

Revelation of the weekend were Cabbage. The local Manc buzz is spot on, fantastic early afternoon set of dirty psych-punk, which too few people watched but those that did lapped up.
