Milfner Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Not sure if Limpid will allow this or not, but oh well. So yeah, I've got a Reading weekend ticket (with camping) available for face value, or nearest offer. August 23rd-26th so Bank Holiday weekend. Drop me a PM if you're interested. Cheers Full line-up Here's the main line up:
hogso Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Lockup stage on the Friday - Star **** Hipsters -> Random Hand -> Ceremony -> A Wilhem Scream Fuckn a. I'd like to say the ticket would be worth it for that alone....but it isnt. I do like the kind of schedules these festivals through up though - where else could you see Mastodon sandwiched between Billy Talent and The Cribs
GarethRDR Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Oh man, if I had any money I'd be there just for ATDI.
limpid Posted July 24, 2012 Administrator Posted July 24, 2012 It's not me who doesn't like the selling of tickets. The government made it illegal to sell football match tickets. The same law doesn't apply to non-football tickets, so while it's at face value, that's fine.
tonyh29 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 On a concert related matter one of our group has been called away on a work emergency so I've got a spare ticket to Sound Island Festival in Margate on Sat SATURDAY 28 JULY - JAMES, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN, CAST, INSPIRAL CARPETS, THE FARM, SPACE & THE CHAPS His work are coughing up for his ticket so for a small donation to Villatalk someone can have it ... I'll be there so can give the ticket to someone in person if they are worried about it arriving in time via Royal Mail Sound Island Festival PM me if interested ....

I am tempted to take up your kind offer, would be nice to put a face to the persona that is tonyh, however I am due to be working that weekend so can't, we're down two guys so will be all on my lonesome so can't even take any holiday to take you up

Any festival that places James above the Bunnymen on the bill deserves to have its organiser burned at the stake as a closing act. And that line up is a bit like Scouse day out, You have to go down the bill as far as the inspirals to find a band with no scouse connection in and the rest of them are Mancs. Oh and apart from the Chaps, I've worked with all those bands at some point
tonyh29 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I don't mind the bunnymen but to say they are better than James is like saying you'd rather listen to Queen than have your eyes gouged out with a blunt spoon

Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I don't mind the bunnymen but to say they are better than James is like saying you'd rather listen to Queen than have your eyes gouged out with a blunt spoon I assume you've never actually listened to James? An album I mean, not the pop shite everybody knows? They're actually half decent.
tonyh29 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I've got every James album and this will be my 6th time seeing them live I think they are shockingly under rated And that you may have misread my reply to Bicks ( who doesn't like James :-) )
bickster Posted July 25, 2012 Moderator Posted July 25, 2012 Its not that I don't like James, they just aren't a patch on the Bunnymen, they are inferior in just about every respect I can think of (apart from selling more t-shirts ;-)) I do actually own James records
