sarahc Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I had no interest in any of the bands. I wasn't enough of a fan of any of the artists to spend a sober evening in a cold tent watching them. It wasn't cold and who said anything about sober?! I'd have to be to get back to Douglas. And what were all the notices on the radio about saying bring warm clothes because it's frickin freezing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnieK Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The self-proclaimed King of Peel speaks to his people http://www.streetheritage.com/documents/PB...S-STATEMENT.pdf My favourite bit is: "Therefore we would ask anyone who supports the idea of the Island holding a major music festival HERE rather than having to travel off the Island please write to your MHK and MLC" Something tells me that those planning on attending next year's Reading or Glastonbury festivals aren't going to be persuaded to stay on the Island to listen to Duran Duran, Simply Red, or whatever other mum's choice tat they were hoping to book for 2008. Edit: I also like the comparison with the Isle of Wight festival, ignoring the fact that it was a cultural landmark of sorts in the 60's and is thus able to trade on that cachet.

It's also actually a festival, not a series of evening concerts with expensive parking and a few crappy burger vans, expensive 'premium' seating arrangements centred around middle aged acts.

WTF Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Look, I enjoned some of the acts last year, Madness ruled, but if it lost 750k in the cenenery year, I wouldn't underwrite it, so why should the govt? the bit i can't really grasp is if he lost 750k? and only wants 'us' the underwrite him 250k?, is he happily expecting to loose 500k?? i wouldn't be so keen to run the event if those were the 'real' sums..

ourtess Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 A lot of money spent on the Douglas stage. The Peel tent offers more. Therefore stop the Peel tent. I really enjoyed the TT 2007 and the Peel festival. Madness were so good I'm off to see them in Liverpool on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
