Who played at Mor part 1 and why was it so cool? I was touring around Ireland at the time and we temporarily lost our drummer to Mor part 1...
And I'm being sold on Leechrum. Who runs the Leechrum festival? Is it hippies? it sounds like hippies.

Mór 1 = The Path unconscious for 2 days after downing a bottle of vodka.
Mór 2 = man poo on the dance stage.

Or was that Mór 1, too? Mór 2 = rain.

Mor1 was amazing! As much for the vibe as the music.

Best Music for me: Rollers/Sparkers, Paper Cop, UBS
Best Non music stuff:
-The Zombie ravers emerging dancing from the trees towards the sound Underworld at the main stage PA between acts.
-Finding my hidden stash of cans in the woods in the early hours
-Sunshine!

Where's wally?

Leetrum was way better then mantua. They ran outta food on the last night at mantua. Our band where also scheduled to go on at half 11 at night but didnt actually go on till half 2 or 3 and we only got 15mins on stage. Still fun times had by all.

Ohh and i got to meet eek-a-mouse

First Mor - "fist my mangey gee"

Second Electric Picnic

I had a good time at the first Homelands too.

Mantua was fun

 

[broken arm]

in fairness, mantua is a free party with bands and falafel.

it's what you make of it.

some of the best outdoor experiences have been free raves/parties.

also some of the worst.

[São Paulo Punk]

how did he see yr distress if ya were in the portapotty dropping the kids off at the pool?

I was doing the 'Dying for a shite!' dance outside it I think. He must have put poo and poo together.

Hey, who remembers that fucking atrocity of a festival in Ballymore Eustace in 99' when it pissed rain and the power kept cutting out constantly on stage. There was smack and LSD all over the place, and the line-up was mental, I still have the flyer on my wall at home. One of the only times The Redneck Manifesto and Runnin Riot were on the same bill.

God be with the days...

And there were some raves on in the same quarry a few years later. Some of them were savage. The funniest for me, though extremely painful at the time, was passing out on a hill after loads of cider and yolks and not waking up until the following afternoon, burnt to a crisp by the sun on one side of my body. I was walkin around lookin like a tomato for about a week after.
