[leave a comment] - 2008 Mighty Boosh Festival @ The Hop Farm (Sat 5 Jul 2008)
Bit of a weak lineup actually :-( The day before Neil Young, could be a mighty weekend. Check ebay...
[leave a comment]- Neil Young and The Mighty BooshIt's all kicking off at the Hop Farm this year isn't it? Neil Young is there on the 6th, and according to the NME, there's a Mighty Boosh festival the same weekend. No tickets on sale for that yet I don't think, so could all be a lie, keep an eye on ebay maybe for Booshstock (Glastonboosh?), but get Neil Young tickets here... -
- Speaking of journeys through time and space...The Mighty Boosh festival lineup is out, as seen on posters at Folkestone station, though I'm sure I could have been quicker off the mark than that. It's a bit ropey actually. The 'Boosh themselves headline I think, with The Charlatans, Gary Numan, White Denim, The Kills, Peaches (DJing only), and Polar Bear. I've no idea of the format actually, so i'm not sure what part Noel Fielding, Julian Barrett et all will play. There is a full comedy lineup too featuring Ross Noble, Frankie Boyle, Flig -

[leave a comment] - 2008 Stereophonics @ Leas Cliff Hall (Tue 8 Jul 2008)
Lawks, is it some sort of warm up? I don't like them but it's a big deal for Folkestone I suppose. Get in! Getting tickets just in case the support is good. Ooh, SOLD OUT already!
[leave a comment]- Stereophonics at the Leas Cliff Hall on sale now!Well, in five minutes... 8th July, looks like it might be a warm up type thing, they don't have a big tour on the go. get tickets here, this will sell out fast! See you on ebay... -
- Psst, wanna buy some Stereophonics tickets?8th July, looks like it might be a warm up type thing, they don't have a big tour on the go. Get tickets here, this will sell out fast! See you on ebay... Man I hate the Stereophonics, what am I talking about? And I was one minute too late for the Folkestone Gerald mailout, so I've missed some commission there. If you are reading this in the future and you really want these tickets that I have, make me a good offer for them, or have a look on ebay. Don't go to many gigs these days, and whe -
- Who will buy my Stereophonics ticketsSlight repost from Folkestone Gerald and my blog / forum there: I can't decide whether or not to go to Stereophonics next Tuesday, we have messed up a bit in arranging a lie in the following morning so it's not really convenient now. Do you want my stereophonics tickets? Make me an offer. I half thought I'd put these tickets on ebay, but as with the last time I thought this I couldn't be bothered. And now it looks like we might really have to go! Clare is not working from home the next day -
