Bilge   34 #3 Posted June 11, 2023 I think this is the last year I’ll bother. The lineups get worse. Not arsed about any of them apart from Bug Club. Yes the Verve had half a decent album once.  £7 a pint and a £10 fish finger sandwich doesn’t compensate.  If I hadn’t bought a weekend ticket ages ago I’d just leave the house every afternoon for 3 days and do pub crawls. The Mrs has already signed me off from parenting duties and I’d save a fortune.  Any tips on lesser known names worth turning up for? The old fart names or Tramlines repeat offenders I’ve either seen them before or not bothered about them.  There are loads of good bands out there but Tramlines don’t book many of them. Crap ones are cheap I guess.  BBC 6 Music is largely rubbish now too. What’s happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It was so much better when it was on Devonshire Green & Peace Gardens etc  DJ's outside Vodka Revolution  The whole city centre was packed and we used to just do a bar crawl all day  Ive not been to Hillsborough Park  We start off around Kelham Island then head into town  Leopold Square is always really good  Then end the night in The Green Room Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

As it happens I listened to a bit of them earlier today and yes I’ll be there when they come on. Worth a punt.  Any more for the list? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
