Inverurie Ram Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 So whilst a few of you were at Burton Albion enjoying the 5-2 pre season win. Some of us were surrounded by folk in Nottingham Forest Tracksuits, Rain Jackets, Football Shirts, T-Shirts the lot. But we sill enjoyed ourselves at Splendour Festival 2019. Started the day off enjoying a few in the new bar in Derby The Worm Has Turned. Before a bus to Nottingham and back. Enjoyed breakfast this morning at The Kitchen on Saddler Gate before catching a flight back home today from Birmingham were quite a few folk in the airport were wearing their Aston Villa tops. Anyone else on here at The Splendour Festival 2019? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Looks good. I love the Specials. I quite like All Saints too actually. I went on a date with the Appleton sisters in the late 90's. Kind of. Well, we sat at the same table backstage at T in the Park. It was quite a big table. I nearly picked nicole's handbag up for her when she dropped it on the floor but she got to it first. It was a fairly platonic date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 How were the Specials? Unfortunately not many of them still performing together. Saw them at the 30th anniversary, and have been lucky to meet and see Rico and Jerry Dammers separately a few times too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Decent lineup tbf. After drowning in mud at ynot 2017 you can keep the festivals, and camping itself frankly, away from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Splendour Festival 2009 to see The Pogues and Madness and The Rifles etc. I enjoyed the festival as it was a small festival, just a couple of thousand people at it. It's certainly grown in numbers over the years, this was sold out, about 25,000 people now and I remember it being a great price for a ticket and it still is great value compared to so many festivals, just over £40 for a ticket and still easy to move around in the place, and if your a Gent easy to get in and out the toilets. Best shout of the day in the Gents, was singing 'I'm caught in a trap.........(we can't go on together, with Suspicious Minds) as Roland Gift belted it out live on the smaller stage, I enjoyed my fellow Hully Gully's set. He played these three plus Good Thing, She Drives Me Crazy. Great reminder of the past and Ever Fallen In Love thrown in for good measure. Quality.

My mates all go to YNOT, plus it lasts from Thursday to Sunday. I definitely fancy trying some new festivals when I eventually have a bit more disposable income.

Students today!........You'd have a bit more disposable income if you went to a one day festival instead of a four day festival and you would have the joy of going home to your own bed or someone else's and wouldn't be stuck trying to flog your YNOT 2019 ticket so you can go to Glasgow Rangers v Derby County instead. Plus Somersby Cider in a load of flavours at Splendour and Castle Rock Beers, Ales and Carlsberg Lager plus many spirits and wines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, I sold my Y Not ticket for £140 cash yesterday, which I'll take to Glasgow and hope to bring some back. And who knows, maybe I'll end up staying in someone else's bed in Scotland.?
