What you going to?

As a footbote to my Small Claims Court claim to fame my colleague in Rio has sorted me guestlist for her uncle Arthur Verocai’s gig at the Barbican on Friday. I’m in London for work so the stars have truly aligned.

Sunny party in a great spot yesterday. About 300 people and two stages. Lots of fun. Feeling it today though

I asked a mate who was last night at a festival here in Ireland?


Who might he be talking about :thinking:

My wife took our daughter who is a massive fan for her birthday. First gig and absolutely loved it. She seemed completely overwhelmed by the whole experience and sang her heart out for the duration.

I’m guessing this was Homer at Beyond the Pale?

Off to see Air tonight at The Piece Hall in Halifax. Support is from Swedish dub DJ Izzy Lindqwister. Don’t know much about her but it’s the perfect weather for some dub.

A bit squiffy and nostalgic. That pic takes me back to many an English festie. Reminded me of Country Life about 10 years back. Nancy doing the morning shift, awoken by fleet foxes mykonos :sunrise:

One of the most enjoyable two hours of my DJing escapes was closing the Sunday of the second Country Life.

Was so good. Went to 3 back to back so they inevitably all blur now

Vaguely remember one of you playing a blissful beatless remix of “Love Comes Quickly” + Twin Sister “up and away we go”

Tried to post a video of the blokes with the stand up piano doing a chaz n Dave style version of No No Limits. But it won’t let me post it for some reason. Funny times. Mind you that walk up to the tent got pretty tricky later on….

Can’t believe we didn’t meet! Unless you were the guy in the horse’s head I spoke to on the haystack?

Such good parties. I had an ace time too. Would love it if Bill & Frank ran another one.

this will probably read more like a brag than anything else, but whatevs.

spent the last three days in the forest of the idaho panhandle. my ex (whom i’m obviously on good terms with) married a guy who is more than a little wealthy, and he built his dream retreat on a large chunk of land near the priest river inna luxury style, all mod cons.

a small group - friends and family that go back 30+ years, went up to celebrate my ex’s 50th. loads of great food, great “festivities” (IYKYK), and great music. i watched a moose and her baby traverse the river. i saw millions of stars. i watched a massive storm come through that rained and hailed and thundered and lightning’d so hard on the metal roof that we couldn’t hear each other talk. nineteen year old me could have never imagined that 50 year old me could experience such a thing.

this area of idaho is fuckin’ rural - and i have a fear of the red states. the panhandle is famous for all the wrong reasons. but as a born & bred PNWer - among all these trees, mountains and water, i’ve rarely felt more at home.

in the pitch black, among the stars, i broke out a few tracks that fucking slayed. perfect moments.
