I fully
understand why you are depressed.
Is it sponsored by Radio 2?
looks pretty bobbins.
WOW
look who had trouble securing any worthwhile names this year! That's quite sad really that they've gone for the average Q Magazine reader's wet dream - though there was a worryingly positive Adele review on this very site recently wasn't there? We Are Scientists are about the most challenging act there, that ain't saying much.
Guess it would be asking a lot for Mogwai to do a surround sound show there every year
have to disagree.
Unkle and Justice are both interesting acts too. But ha ha! I agree the rest of it is fairly bland middle of the road "indie" / rock.
any ideas
how much tix will be? justice YES PLEASE.
I think someone said they are £25
A fair few pennies, even though it is a pretty flash venue.
