Festival was OFF the chain . So silly. KOAN sound has to be a huge highlight and feedme. Benny page and solo banton also killed it, Was totally gutted capleton couldn't make it but from what I understand he wasn't allowed into the country, Think it had something to do with the Stop the Murder Music campaign. They've cancelled his gigs before because he's an outrageous homeaphone.

Tried to get into Foreign Beggars but shit was TOO packed. Had my recently sliced stomach being crushed about so had to get out,

was properly good. hardly saw anyone i planned to, but was still ace.

caught one of the life4land crew, possibly scamp, playing in the casino really late at night. absolutely smashed it!


heard some dark shit happened though, some 25 year old woman died of a heart attack and some pikeys went on a bit of a rampage - 90 thefts were reported to the police in the first day, someone got stabbed and someone else (a friend of a friend) got his head smashed in by the pikeys when he tried to fight them off when he caught them robbing his tent. my mate got involved in the fight but was alright despite being mid acid trip!
didnt hear about any of this till the bus back.

yeh some geez near my camp got his wallet stolen. I broke in and so took hardly anything worth stealing...

Are you sure it wasn't contact play in the casino? they were just about to play a sick set and then the power cut off!

it was one geezer on a laptop, definitely from life4land. i've checked out the life4land website and i'm pretty sure its scamp that played.

power cuts did seem to be a bit of a problem, they kept happening all over the place. went to see the autonomads in the invisible circus and the power kept cutting off there too.

Yeah that was Scamp with the nattys and hideous dnb/breakcore in the Casino at 10 on Friday. Would have seen me & bros largin' up front.

Spent the entire weekend pretty much in the Underground (Toxic) and Body Shop, bare hard dnb/hardtek/jungle/breakcore, don't think I've ever skanked and tripped harder.

boomotown was BOOM to say the least.

havent been to such a fueled festival in ages.

was loving the music board that let you make tunes from loops by putting bricks in different places. Said he would make a replica for £2000, expensive but i'd pay it if I had spare cash like that, Lost hours to that thing. Cant remember what it was called if anyone could help that would be class!?


Irration Steppas killed it, so did soo many other acts. Was loving all the ska and reggae and jigging to the gypsy music.

Favourite sets overall had to be between "The Bug" & "Dub Boy b2b Warlock"

Bumping cos i cant find a newer thread.

got my ticket yesterday :) Who's Going?

Also looking for 1 more ticket if anyone knows anyone?

Failing that, a lift share from London would be cool too if anyone has any spare seats, contributing to petrol expenses etc
