Glastonbury for me, my last one! Too old for five days on the lash and sleeping on rough ground.

My Dad's been going for years and he's just gone 70 so you need to man up

I find an airbed makes it more bareable.

I know, but it knocks hell out of me for about five days later, just out of interest, is your dad a greedy pig that can't stop drinking from getting there on Wednesday till getting in the car on Monday morning?

I must confess I need a day off on the Tuesday to recover once I get back from it all.

My Dad is retired so he doesn't have this problem but he is a marathon runner so is in better shape than me. He is known to hang around the real ale tent by the acoustic stage a fair bit

So there is a bit of a difference, marathon runner V Alecart! Lol
We tend to hang around that area quite a lot, especially if it's rained being high up, be there this year on Saturday, wanna see Stevie Winwood.

Decided to get a T in T Park ticket with some mates today.
Looking forward to it a lot although I'm not overly keen on the lineup this year.

Not a festival/event as such, but following up my Scandinavia tour last year (Keane in Copenhagen and Orbital in Oslo 2 days later) with a trip to Geneva to see Peter Gabriel in October

Warrington Music Festival have announced their line for 19th-21st July, and it includes MADCHESTER heavyweights, 'The Happy Mondays' playing their only free show of the year! [WAM] is covering the event (unofficially of course!), so can find all the latest information and original media content on our facebook event page! https://www.facebook.com/events/483539838389083 I'd certainly say check out the event if you haven't already, into it's 7th year!!

Great weather and a tremendous line up for those of you at Glastonbury this weekend. Enjoy, I'm stupidly jealous.

Wacken tomorrow, via Hamburg/St Pauli . Although you can find better lineups elsewhere, you can't beat Wacken as a festival as a whole. Well worth going to, if you're into the heavier end of the musical spectrum.
