Morecambe was great. Went to a couple of WOMADS there (almost entirely to
see Pere Ubu, mind you).

I must be lone in thinking that this seaside KJ is hysterically funny. What
happened o the tour of war zones he promised us at the 25th Anniversary
gigs? Is he referring to the Great Mods And Rockers fisticuffs?

I don't think Minehead can be regarded in the same way as Blackpool, though.
I've been to several ATPs, and they've all been great. It's far preferable,
to my mind, having a chalet to sleep in at a festival than a semi-submerged,
ransacked tent, and it's not as though there will be anyone other than
festival-goers there. Attendees would therefore be unlikely to need to pad
through pools of candy floss vomit, unless they bring their own.

Blackpool has lots of bands I'd like to see, particularly UK Decay, who are
almost invisible at the bottom of the list. But there's the danger of
inadvertently seeing Peter & The Test Tube Babies. What a dichotomy.

Shame they didn't do it when the festival was at Morecambe. That was a much
better festival than any Blackpool's I have been to - somehow it had a
totally different vibe...

Yup, just got a message saying KJ are headlining the sunday night at this
years Rebellion festival in Blackpool. Christ, I think I'd rather see 'em
at Butlins! They better be doing some proper gigs! Despite some good
bands, those Blackpool festivals are fucking awful!!
