Well looks like most things have been commented on - great gig and lovely venue all be it a rather short set. I was disappointed All I Ever Wanted was dropped though. I discovered that I HATE whistles and whoever decided to sell them at the festival should be tortured.
I was glad I stayed to watch Heaven 17 as I had never seen them live before and yes they did sound very good but they just didn't excite me, I feel they rely on the backing singers too much and the fact that Ian was missing was disappointing as I only really wanted to see Ian and Martin. We met with some Heaven 17 fans in the hotel on both nights and discussions were should I say a little heated ha ha! but after the Heaven 17 gig I asked one where Ian was and he said he had just been back stage and he knows but swore he wouldn't say anything hmm! Oh just remembered I said to those fans that I hoped they would do Being Bolied and they said... I think you will find vocally and musically it will sound much better  WRONG!! - I just said err I don't think so and guess what I was right ha ha! Anyway glad I saw them - not bothered if I see them again and really i wouldn't care if the whole Human League / Heaven 17 on the same bill didn't come off.Nice to see everyone again, big thanks to Ellie, and Murf you redeemed yourself  you know what Im talking about ![0]](http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif) also great to meet Jaymze for the first time

Found this on youtube, some dude dancing to SOTC with a bottle of Buckfast. One has to ask oneself why you would film that dude when you could film the band instead??
 Anyway, here you are! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CntrSpk77z0 If the link doesn't work directly look for the tag reidypeanut in the music section. Enjoy..... |

My flatmate had a copy of The Scottish Sun newspaper yesterday. There was a small picture of Phil (as well as a pic of GG) and a little bit of a write up about the Festival. It reported that the Festival was:
"...rocked by chart legends THL and H17, both from Sheffield. League singer Phil Oakey thrilled the 25,000 crowd with hits like DYWM and LA. Oakey said: "Its great to play a Festival again". Fans had to do a double take though -he and H17's singer Glen Gregory looked identical in suits and shaven head. They were in synth...". Classic reporting by The Sun!

That's the clips started to be uploaded on Youtube now (they're not mine, I might add).
You too can now watch Philip cock up the start of Fascination

*****************
Agreed. Drop One Man, ***************** I think the purpose of One Man is to allow Phil to change his outfit and give his voice a rest for 5 minutes (similar to the purpose of Seconds and Being Boiled for the girls) so the only alternative would be an instrumental (how about Total Panic) |

"Drop One Man, Heart Like A poxy Wheel & boring Louise and stick in Love Me Madly, AIEW & Marianne. It doesn't have to be hits/dare!"
I too prefer more adventurous set lists but the actual choice is something fans will never agree on. IMHO, Heart Like a Wheel and Louise are FAR better songs than Love Me Madly for instance! |

Re: H17
Temptation is indeed a very well known song but "obviously as well known as DYME"? I don't think so. |

Does anyone know why Ian Craig Marsh didn't appear with Heaven 17 at the gig in Falkirk?
