'Twas awesome last year - Lee Perry turned up without his band (his memory is so fucked he probably forgot where he left them) so he just got a load of random musicians from other bands for some improvised dub jamming. I doubt that any audience will see that happen again W00t!

Especially not at a festy organised by a folk-punk band from rural Dorset called Pronghorn.

I reckon it's too small + well drained to turn into a mudbath, even if it does rain. So if my back feels up to it on Fri, I'm gonna be there yes

He was at the Big Chill with Adrian Sherwood who was amazing but tbh We got rather bored of him just shouting lee scratch perry all time and wtf was that painting about????

I have seen him loads before and he was awesome but seems to have lost it somewhat.

To be honest, I woz paying more attention to the musicians who were doing the jamming then Mr Perry himself. I reckon that singers are only there to fill in time between guitar solos anyway Laughing

Come to think of it, he did just troll around the stage spouting utter nonsense for an hour. 'Twas fairly groovesome nonsense though & he hummed a couple of cool basslines for the bassist to copy. Who cares - improvised dub jamming = the highest art form known to mankind yes

yup
lee scratch perry at beautiful days bored me shitless. lots of bigging up the lee scratch perry but at dorset with the guys from the other band, it was phenominal, specially after molora & werent eat static there too?
hey realy looking forward to this year tho having avoided like the plague, alabama 3 at the square festival borth cos i've outgrown them long ago & they had the engines of their luxury tour buses spewing exhaust fumes out onto site for 8 hours or so just to keep air con on or whatever, not sure who to see in headliney mode.oops just realised rambling like a pissed thing.....

maybe next year tho its rather close to beautiful days n i always go to that. Pronghorn FTW!! yes

I'd would have liked to go to this one but no monies and it's in between BC and Beautiful days, there's no way we could do 3 weekends in a row! Sad

The line up does look good tho, love to see the Cropdusters again and Pronghorn have been on my wanna see list for quite a few years too!

And it's only just up the road from us!

I'll do extra dancin, for all those wanting to be there but not able to Happydance

I might have to resort to sitting-down-dancing to save wear & tear on the spine. So I will be struggling to dance for one, never mind any absent peeps Confused

But I can offer moral support + waving arms & legs to HV as she handles this extra responsibility yes

Shame I can't take Heide's Chair Of Win - 'twas the bestest chair for siting-down-dancing ever Sad

A quick search of the term "sitting-down-dancing" gives us a few pages of: http://festivalweather.com/forum/14-vt6490.html?postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=sitting+dancing&&start=260

I think that Joy has now made it an official part of the FW lexicon yes

oh yes!! i am not alone
but wonder who else has danced whilst on their bicycle? a trick inexpertly performed by yours truly at 2 glades now (bit of a cheat cos u do need to be grabbing onto a pole ( & i dont mean a polish person, that'd be even funnier mind!!) saves foot ache but is a bit dangerous.
