Kobes season starts in a few months

Did he say anything or interact with the crowd at all? I missed the first 5 minutes or so, but didn’t notice him saying anything.

Not a word

The great man is 81 today.

Hes a miserable fucker. Hed do 3 or 4 nights in San Fran and always come into pub across the road, owned by a pal of his. He’d eat and drink to his heart’s content for the few days but staff hated him as was rude and never left so much as a shilling tip behind him

There was alot of hype of about Geese. I must have been the only person in the tent that didnt know every word. Enjoyable gig, will give them more of a listen. Fountains were class

I’d well believe it. But he’s still produced a huge amount of great music.

I like a bit of them. They’re fierce young for a band with four albums. Quite a bit of talk around them being an industry plant mainly due to them working with some PR crowd who are able to duke the algorithm to the extent that they were appearing everywhere.

Your man’s solo album from last year was very good. I think some folks find it hard to get beyond his vocal.

I think they are quite good; I don’t quite get the hype for the last album- I think it’s decent but maybe hasn’t clicked with me the same way it has for a lot of others.

Wunderhorse were playing who I think are very good.

Yes is the answer. St Kilda are allowing their Irish lads play with the clubs whilst at home

Van Morrison is the musical equivalent of Eamon Fitzmaurice’s voice.

He was the finest last night. Walked on to no fanfare, in really good form, sang, played sax, guitar and harmonica and bet out the hits and walked off with no fuss. Started with In The Mystic I’m not sure many of those there appreciated the greatness in front of them.

There’s a great video of the Mayo lads moshing to ‘Win Just Once’ backstage before Green and Red came on. Them boys are having the time of their lives.

We’re back home, getting out of Silver Campsite and back to the Red Car Park with the cart was great fun. The wheels kept getting clogged with mud, stones and bark. I think I had to drag it most of the way.

We were out of the car park in no time, the route had us using both lanes of the road and pretty much got everyone right out to the M7 in no time. Definitely one of the easiest exits ever.

Have given the shoes a clean but reckon they’ll need another one!

Will have to give the cart wheels a good clean too.

We had a great time, saw loads of the main stage acts and the EP Lounge was well worth it.

The traffic management plan is magic. They’ve it well sorted at this stage. Once you stick to the plan you’ll be grand, the lads who go off book, they end up fucked
