I bought it for my missus for Christmas as she doesn’t like music. It’s perfectly alright. Nurse! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted January 6, 2020 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2020 When the lowest I can go on the bill on any given day before I go Whoooooooo? is 4 and on one day the actual top of the bill is a whoooooo? Who knows it could be brilliant but I wouldn't be spending huge amounts of wedge on the gamble if I was a festival goer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're thinking of Mike Oldfield. 72 (I think), and probaly own recordings by about 6 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, potentially, with the right conditions one of those could be your new favourite band. I went to a gig a while back and three or four lines down the billing was some ‘band’ that was a guy with a laptop sampling 1920’s shellac and modern wicki wicki hip hop beats and a guy up front, in a leotard, on a treadmill trying to sing to it. Mesmerising to watch and my new favourite band whilst I was there. They tore the place apart - one of those bands the headline act regrets inviting. Next morning, absolutely no recollection of either what they were called or any of their tunes. Similarly, I’ve been to a Craig Charles funk night and at the time really thought he was a giant on the turntables. But I was a few pints in to the evening by then and accept it was a split between his talent and my red stripe consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Never done this venue before, and to be honest I didn’t even know it existed. Though I drive past it a few times a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the correct poster: The genre of this line up is too cool for school. It's for young, internet muso fashionistas. No surprise the VT regulars aren't keen. There's some massive international acts there from the East as well as the West. Looked at a couple of names further down the bill in tiny writing I didn't know. They're scoring tens of millions of hits, but they're alongside Rough Trade favourites that aren't and some blatant crowd pleasers. Obviously it's not my cup of tea, but there's certainly acts in there I wouldn't turn my nose up at and it's actually a really strong line up for its target market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had another version of the same list, but had presumed the moment of interest had passed. There’s a version that replaces the band name, with the agent. It was essentially the same three or four names right down the bill. I’ll see if I can find it again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International Talent Booking were the dons a couple of decades ago. They're still around, but not nearly so trendy. http://www.itb.co.uk/roster They came knocking when the band I worked for were at the height of their pomp. We proper got into them for tix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
