So which day is it going to pour with rain?  Last year was great on Saturday,
and I understand it was a bit miserable on the sunday.

Er, it was bangin' (at least I think that's the expression).

Bands that I can remember seeing:

Skunk Anansie - loud and thrashy, but if they didn't have that singer they'd be
		just another loud and thrashy band
Ash	      - great fun; made me feel very old
Therapy?      - this was quite a revelation.  I had them down as three - chord
		know-nothings, but they're great
Echobelly     - well, she was tasty anyway
Cast	      - never heard of them before, but they had a few more interesting
		chords than your average Liverpool (?, guess, from accents)
		beat band
The Prodigy   - great, got trampled to death and loved it

I'm sure I saw more bands, but I can't remember much.  The groove tent was
cool too.

The "atmosphere" report: usual mountains of empty paper cups and discarded
noodles.  Weather very sunny so the entire place turned into a dustbowl
in minutes.

Er, that's it.

1302.7For an unbiased opinion....CHEFS::STRATFORDSDisconnect brain from mouthTue Aug 08 1995 10:495
    Cast remind me of Northside (a below average band from the Madchester
    days). In fact, they would appear to be Northside in disguise. In other
    words, crap. Just MHO.

Cast was formed by the leading light from the LAs. I rather like
the single.

1302.9UBOHUB::FIDDLER_MThe sense of being dulls my mindTue Aug 08 1995 11:096
    I thought Northside had one good song, the second single.  I think it
    was called '<mumble> star'.  Possibly.
    
    The Cast single is fun n jangly tho.

See my They Might Be Giants review in 20.400 for presumably the first
mention of Cast in this forum.
