"DJ" with orchestra

I've been watching the weather all week and have gone through every sort of emotion. It always reminds me how bad it was in 09. At this stage Im just willing to accept what will come. As what people have said, the ground has got a good drying all week which should help the cause. The earlier the rain on Saturday the better. Going to get my skiing jacket going for that weather and hope the rest will be good. Can't wait for it now

I've only heard of Jenny Greene this week myself. Radio "DJ" as was rightfully put earlier. But should be a fun set mixing 90s dance songs with the orchestra. Insomnia, Belfast, Rhythm is a Dancer, Adagio for Strings all on the menu. Bit of a laugh I'd imagine

She has a slot called the Electric Disco on 2FM on Saturday nights which is all 90's dance tunes.

She also has an afternoon slot with your man from Westlife but we won't hold that against her.

If you are in to your classic dance music its pretty good. The BBC proms version was excellent.

Gonna have difficultly persuading people to Todd Terje instead of this

the only problem I have with all this rain forecasted is it watering down my already watered down pints

Does anyone really expect the EP piece to be even close to as good as this?

I might have only managed to have graced the Hacienda in its final days but can assure you that the likes of 'Rhythm is a Dancer' or 'Adagio for Strings' were never played there !!!

Anyone ever had performer tickets before? Is it just a separate camping area?

I think anyone that has never heard an orchestra before (and many haven't) are going to be blown away regardless!

I'm really late sifting through the lineup for gems this year, but I am really impressed with some of the home-grown intercultural pop, hip-hop and rap. The influence of collaboration with immigrant populations really paying off and producing great energy and edge.

I can't say the same for some of the home grown rock…a lot of 'bland' about.

I've had them the last 3 or so years but usually bring a campervan and set up shop out there

Sorry about this, but do you need weekend camping tickets if you have PinkMoon just printout the order and it says to bring weekend camping tickets as well as the order confirmation?

your Electric Picnic ticket is your weekend camping ticket by default.

I presume they mean your weekend ticket for the festival, as opposed to just a Sunday ticket.

Looking like All Tvvins might be the replacement for Whilk & Misky?
