    Not really. If you’d understood my previous post, you’ll have seen that I just plug my iPod in.

    Then you miss all the new stuff they play that doesn’t get played anywhere else.
    As far as I’ve been able to make out, the festival ads get played once per daytime show, so, as I ignore Keavney these days, I only hear them twice.

    Lauren Laverne.

    I imagine she might object to being called a Geordie.
    As she’s a Sunderland lass, I imagine being called a Geordie might get a slightly frosty reception. 😀

    I haven’t got the patience to wait for that… iPod battery ran out this morning, switched to radio, got that annoying John Peel wannabe and he played an old Blur track, Cream, 2 other old things I can’t remember and some generic indie from Django Django. But most of the time was taken up by him mumbling on trying to be amusing. It’s just not the radio station for me. (I don’t think there is one!)

    the trailers are doing my nut in too. Every 30 minutes they’re shouting the names of bands like they’re reading out the phone book. Apparently all these bands are appearing “side by side” and not one after the other like at a normal festival 😕

    The bint doing the trailers is not LaLa but she does have a rather wonderful accent…

    I’ve only heard one track off it but enjoyed that. Like Beth Jeans Houghton and some of the Introducing bands so we’ve put in for sunday.

    I think this is an epic fail – take what would normally bea years worth of gigs for Newcastle (and represents a lot more quality and variety than we usually get) and stick them into what essentially amounts to 3-4 gigs at two venues (a lot of the Cluny stuff is discussion and all that sort of blah)
    cant help but think they could have spread it around a bit and given people more chance of getting a ticket.
