=^..^= Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 StoneChase and Beatles numbers ??? We started with a Lee Rocker number called Bulletproof. Lee Rocker is better known for being the bass player for the Stray Cats. The indie tent was great - you guys really attracted a wider audience (which is a great thing to do) than is normal at the Blues Fest. Hope you guys do it again next year. Maybe I might even get time to come down and listen ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 The police did close glen road later on on saturday night. No, they made it one way which was much better than the bowling alley I had to drive through earlier in the evening while avoiding the human skittles. Was one way from Laxey Football pitch to the Shore direction. Would have been nice if I knew that in advance of forcing my way to the Shore on the return journey though only to find I had to drive up Minorca and come back round. I realise this is outside of the control of the organisers, but I would have thought the Police would have taken more precautionary steps in advance.

But you definitely had the audience going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hey Observer, that was your daughter who fell alseep during Walter Ego? Heh, that was hilarious, Strings was gutted someone could sleep through his set Saw you pushing barrels DTCB, didn't realise you were helping organise, definitely do it again! Was a fantastic stage, though the main thing I'd suggest would be to have it on the grass not the concrete. Less people standing around, more sitting and chilling, and less broken glass. More (free or otherwise) buses would be good for the general festival, or maybe even trams? At the end on Saturday night there were hundreds of people milling about just at the Shore, reckon the organisers must have been pretty shocked by the amounts who attended this year, don't remember it being this busy last year? Maybe that's why the Police/security etc weren't as organised as you'd expect for such a huge crowd. Didn't see any real trouble myself either...just shitloads of people...everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hey Observer, that was your daughter who fell alseep during Walter Ego? Heh, that was hilarious, Strings was gutted someone could sleep through his set I hardly think it was 'his set' ..... i'm sure the other guys who have been walter ego much longer than String's year or so in the band wouldn't think so!!
