i would like to apologise to niall jackson. i heard echo and the bunnymen had cancelled. they hadn't. and it would appear he missed them as a result.
my apologies.

I've been through a rollercoaster since you told me,

a.) they canceled, they're keyboard player was killed (r.i.p)= bad buzz

b.) saw Florence & the machine instead, loved her voice = good buzz

c.) found out they didn't cancel = bad buzz, i missed it /good buzz no-one died

d.) i missed it AND he DID die= ultimate bad buzz, for everyone!

e.) i don't think i can be friends with Patrick Cannon anymore= buzz undecided!

I dunno.. this was my third time there (06, 07 & 09) and this year I saw far more aggressive scumbag types. It was weird.

Completely agree- when people start to head down to a festival to just get completelt off their tits with no interest in the music, said festival is on a downward spiral!

scumbags who attended the festival are releasing an apology to all middle class festival goers around 4pm today.
