Since nobody has put in a full listing, here is a partial listing,
gleaned from a piece of paper I scribbled on whilst reading NME in
the library on Saturday.
Friday 27th Saturday 28th Sunday 29th Aug 1993
Main Stage
----------
Porno For Pyros The The New Order
Rage Against The Machine Siouxsie And The Dinosaur Jnr.
Banshees
Ned's Atomic Dustbin Therapy? Lemonheads
Babes In Toyland Ozric Tentacles Fishbone
Kingmaker
T'other stage
-------------
The Frank And Walters Blur Big Star
Back To The Planet Radiohead The Boo Radleys
Swervedriver
- there's also a Comedy Tent and a Dance Stage (the latter has limited admission
and costs extra)
Admittance: �20/day or �49 for all 3 days. These prices are admittance only.
The �49 only applies for advance tickets. Not sure of the cost of
parking/camping
- Anyone studied a long-range weather forcast?
- Anyone care to provide (constructive) mini-reviews for some of the more
esoteric bands?

| 1165.2 | Which bands? | LARVAE::DRSD24::BEGLEY | | Wed Aug 04 1993 12:57 | 5 |
| re -1 Which "esoteric" bands do you want to know about? How about
putting in a reply listing the bands that you don't know anything about
and then people can reply to that.

| RE 1165.1
A bit belated this but thanks for the listing.I must admit Friday looks
good as I've also been told Butthole Surfers and Bad Brains are playing
that day.Saturday looks a waste of time and Sunday may be quite
interesting.I think though I'll just buy a ticket for the Friday and
try to blag my way in the two other days.
Thanks again

Can anyone tell me where you can buy the one day tickets or do you
buy them on the day. I would normally go for the whole weekend but
only the Sunday really appeals to me.

You can buy them on the day for 20 quid or you can get them from your
local branch of HMV.

I have got four weekend backstage tickets for sale. These tickets give
you `access to all areas' so to speak. You get to mix in the backstage
bars with da stars! Also, you can tap on their caravan doors and tell
them how wonderful they were/weren't. Obviously, you an go everywhere
else.
I will accept �70 for each one. Beleive me, they are worth it.

| 1165.8 | yes, lots of people!! | RDGENG::CROOK | Wings lifting tired feet | Thu Sep 02 1993 19:00 | 21 |
| Yes, lots of people! And on Saturday, I was one of them. It didn't rain at all,
which is unusual and must have disappointed all of the people who took their
waterproofs with them!
It seemed as busy and well-organised as last year, though I don't think the
selection of bands were as good.
I watched several of the stand-up comics and they were good. The last one,
Eddy Issard (sp?) was hilarious. I think a couple of them must have been on
the same trainig course: they both managed to mention The Chronicles Of
Narnia and ways to respond to people who turn up on your doorstep to sell
you religion and use spiel like "It says in the Bible..." (Answer: quote any
book back eg The Reading Phone Directory) [well, it was funny when they did it.
Must be my sense of timing].
I particularly enjoyed Blur who, for some obscure and unexplained reason, had
a number of table lamps and an old cooker on the set for their act.
I also saw Bivouac (sp?) who I'd never heard of before, and who were excellent.
