Up until this ground move ruckus, I always thought that Kirkby was in Liverpool. It's very enlightening to find out it's actually in Outer Mongolia.
I was at the Knowlsey Festival a couple of weeks ago. I was surprised Suggs didn't get bottled off for saying how much he liked playing in Liverpool. What a faux pas!

I was back home for that festival thing couldnt get tickets/didnt make much effort.

As it turned out, you could have paid at the gate. Lucky you didn't bother, though, it was rubbish, on the whole, certainly from an organisational point of view. The whole thing was set up to make the maximum amount of money, with people having any drinks/food confiscated on the way in, then it was a case of walking up one end of the field to watch a band for half an hour, then traipsing back into the middle of the field in between acts to buy rip-off and very shoddy quality food and beer (£4.50 for a ratburger and £3 for a can of Pish Lager).
Maybe I'm getting old, but I didn't think that's what festivals were supposed to be about. Oh, and it rained all day, so the field had turned to 4 inches of slurry-like mud and you got trenchfoot whilst standing around drinking your over-priced beers -There was literally nowhere to sit down, though one savvy entrepreneur was doing a roaring trade selling inflatable couches (portable chairs were being confiscated, too. [Poor language removed]).
As for the bands, I thought a couple of the earlier acts were okay (the lesser known bands seemed to work that much harder - the Hoosiers were alright, The Wombats struck me as a collection of LIPA knobs (which they are) who wannabe The Arctic Monkeys, the Zutons were ... the Zutons, and Joss Stone is as mad as a glue-sniffing hatter ("Are you digging it?" For fooks sake, Joss, you're from Devon, not Atlanta [Poor language removed] City!) I didn't hang around for Keane (no guitars? What's all that about?)
Madness, though, they showed the whippersnappers how it should be done - as soon as they came on stage the place cheered up, rain or not, and by the time they'd finished the place was bouncing. I'd managed to stay reasonably clean up until that point, above the bottom 12 inches, or so, at least, but, once everyone around started dancing like nutters to Night Boat to Cairo, I was pasted from head to foot in sloppy brown mud but with a big cheesy grin on my face (I fitted in whilst we were there, but I got a few funny looks when I got back into town).
Still, we had a laugh; despite the rain and the shitty organisation (it took some people until 4 in the morning to get their cars out of the carpark), at the end of the day, you make your own fun, eh?
Another (mini) festival experience mate. I love them and is one of the things I miss loads about being over here.
I heard Madness put in a good set, in fairness probably worth the admission price alone. The missus's mates went to T in the Park in Scotland and it was the best line up I've seen for a while.
Listening to any gems at the moment. Currently Im 'digging' (Stone is a bad ted) Cold War Kids and the Kings of Leon new album.
Thread off topic again?
Thats shocking for the Stella Danny, motorway service station prices that.

I reckon we'll get away with it - there's shitloads off these Kirkby threads, anyway.
As I mentioned (in the correct thread) I've been listening to The Hold Steady a fair bit. If you're not familiar, They sound (to me) like, say, Thin Lizzy had read a book - lots of rocking guitar, but with some very intelligent lyrics.
The Kings of Leon are excellent - the new album is good, but I still listen to Youth and Young Manhood all the time (a sign of a good band, IMO, when their stuff has longevity).
Someone else I've just started listening to is this South African dude called Zola. The musical stylee is called kwaito, I think. I won't describe it, just have a listen (I don't understand a word of it, but it definitely rocks):

Cheers for the link mate.
Will have a go at that when I have more time.
Genius, Red Morning Light and California Waiting are my favourite tracks off that one. The new album is ace, I like it when bands can do different things. Arctic Monkeys new album was a bit pish, for me anyway.
You got any stuff by the Cold War Kids? Get it mate, with that type of music taste you will love it.

Thanks for the heads up - I'd heard good things about them, so that confirms it. I'll check them out tonight, though not through BitTorrent. Honest.
Paying for music is so 20th century"
Hope you like them mate. One of them, second time you listen to the album you will get into it. My mate reckons theyre ace live.

This is very true. I remember when Stephen Wright was "the best full-back in the country." Bwaa!

LCC have supposedly offered sites in liverpool more than four miles from goodison.
let that sink in.
i'll give you another chance, have a re-read, then realise.
If we were moving to manchester or newcastle, then i'd be front lines with the rest of you BUT we will still be the "REAL PRIDE OF MERSEYSIDE"
as it is, i dont like the stadium plans, when i have time, i will concoct some differing designs on the theme given so far.
