Slim Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yep, too packed. Dunno why they couldn't organise a tent like last year, would have cleaned up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silky Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 As usual the local chavs have ruined it for everyone because there was so much under age drinking etc last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Educa Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Sadly it was poo. Same dickhead chavs turning up and screaming at each other but without the tents and bands and cool stuff. Highlight was being kicked out of the queens by the fire officer into the pissing rain, yay. Which pubs/area were the chavs screaming outside?

Slim Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Mostly the area around the tram station and opposite the bridge. Tossers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girl89 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Quite a few police turned up late last night opposite the Tavern, seemed like a gathering of chavs/young people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdick Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I only went yesterday afternoon/night so I managed to miss all the rain heh. Glad to see the police doing a better job than last year, there were a few rowdy chavs but they soon got moved along. As for the actual festival bit I thought it went really well, the bands were spot on and even though I'm not a big fan of blues I enjoyed it a lot. Although to be honest it's not all blues, generally the ticketed gigs are for the hardcore bluesers but the fringe stuff had a great mixture of stuff on. The reason there were no tents or marquees or anything was because the original plan was to just have the pavillion gigs on. Which would've been rubbish and hardly a 'festival', as it stands some people came along at the last minute and sorted some gigs out. Which was good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheswiththeband Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 i went on friday night and it was fantastic - the queens. right at the front i was. was outside in the beer garden too - proper chilled atmosphere - no trouble. i think its pathetic people who go down there just to get drunk thinkin its a full on chav fest. they spoil it for the real music fans! gutted i missed sat and sun but couldnt be helped! my bro got married. well done to all the organisers though at the queens - Val & Barry Nelson, Earle etc, did a wicked job. did miss the tent though but ah well. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minxie Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Looks like the Main Stage was a very successful event - they have some photos on the link now. bigwheelblues. Although I wasn't able to make it myself this weekend, I've seen Stone Creation before and they are very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiler Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Had a brilliant weekend, the Queens on fri for BDS was amazing, shame so many people were stuck outside in the rain, a marquee is definitely needed for next year. Sat we went to the main stage, missed BDS as was watching Stone Creation then Dunders at the Bridge but Steve Clayton was ace, highlight was when he pulled Dave Mc on stage and they played the keys together Saw a bit of Connie Lush then headed to catch Steph Joyce & Mikey Reaney at the Mines afterwards - fantastic as ever. two of the best voices on the Island... Sunday at the Queens was amazing too, BDS, Maldune & others - well done to all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man in the mask Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Someone told me that "pigs on the wing" were playing. Sadly, they meant the Flying Squad were in Laxey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
