RedRock Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Ratings for Powderham:- Best Song:- Pompeii, Bastille Best Group:- Mumford and Son just edged Coldplay, both lead singers with Exeter connections! Best Guest:- Paloma Faith Best Female:- Ellie Goulding Venue:- Superb (both nights, from car door to house door - 10 miles - in 20 minutes) although, for the ladies, the queues for the bogs were horrendous. Best £17 ever spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Didn't see that band 'though was a bit of a buzz about them. I fear now of an age when Mumford and Son are quite fresh and new. Bring back the Sex Pistols! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 @Moor2SeaCouldn't get tickets for the Radio one big weekend at Exeter but seen Ellie Goulding and Paloma Faith at Glastonbury last year and the year before, both very good. A few new venues this summer for me, Rudimental at Westonburt in a couple of weeks, Coldplay at Wembley. (Then Glastonbury) after that it's Rudimental and others at Plymouth and booked to see Kaiser Chiefs at Cardiff cricket ground last night, not been there before either. edit; I watched a lot of the coverage on tv, except Colplay (didn't want spoilers!)

One Team In Keynsham Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Nothing planned for me until Shiiine at Minehead in November, then on the way back home from that seeing Peter Hook & The Light in Ft Lauderdale, and, hopefully, Pet Shop Boys in Miami Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they between Ellie G and Coldplay at Glasto? not sure I dare look really, they sound heavy, and apart from jazz that's music I just can't get into.

Beck is just one guy and he's been around for years. Give his albums Odelay and Midnite Vultures a spin. Bit of a mix of hip-hop, folk and rock. Tbh, you cant really pigeon-hole him to any sort of genre as his albums have different styles. Far more talented than the likes of Coldplay etc. Also, Loser is a classic tune which you've probably heard before. As there's a Bowie theme to this years festival you really should Google "Beck reimagines sound and vision". Maybe the greatest thing on YouTube. Edit: Just watched that again and I have to say, a 130 piece orchestra sounds amazing. Done to a Bowie tune is simply unforgettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 @One Team In Keynsham@RED4LIFE, ah he sounds ok then. I was just worried I might be in a huge heavy metal crowd or something, nothing wrong with that but just not for me. I'll have a listen, I like to find new people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liking Elton John allows you into M&S, The Carpenters only get you as far as Morrisons but you are allowed to have an account at the Edinburgh Woollen Mill..

just like watching brazil Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Saw acdc at West hams new stadium last night,axl rose was incredible what a voice think I enjoyed it more than the Wembley gig. On another note the queues inside for food were longer than ours at half time. And beer prices varied 5.20 for a bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Going to try and get a ticket for radio 2 festival in a day. Elton John, Madness, Gregory Porter (one of my favourites), Jamie Lawson and Travis all announced so far. Went a few years back when it was Tom Jones, Status Quo etc and was a great day. Going to pass on proms in the park this year though, normally makes a good weekend combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I was in Looe this morning and the posters were up for the festival in September. Pretty damn good this year, Friday - Wilko Johnson, Saturday - Bryan Ferry and Sunday - Fun Lovin` Criminals. Add in King Kurt and the Neville Staples Band it looks a cracker so might give it a go this year. Suppose I better wait till the fixtures come out before booking though - what price Newcastle at home on Saturday 24th if I don`t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
