    Any thoughts on another Electric Picnic festival at Christmas time in say Malaga or Marbella, would be interesting.

    Jaysus, the Picnic at Christmas?!!
    There'd be an Aldi/ Lidl/ Topaz Santy for the kids if I got on that train.

    On the other hand it might be a good little presage of lean Chrimbos to come for them, what with the Global Economy the way it is and also my proposed trip to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

    From a weather and comfort point of view, EP at Christmas in Ireland makes marginally more sense than a World Cup in Qatar

    From a human rights point of view, the volunteers at EP might be treated better than the indentured slaves building the World Cup stadiums in Qatar..

    I'd regard anyone attending the World Cup to be complicit in these human rights violations

    (way off topic I know, but the thread is surely done at this stage)

    I used to cast the same judgement of all the Irish folk working over there until I went over there for myself a couple of years back.
    Had a good skite about the place, didn't see much wrong...
    Sure let the BBC and the Guardian et al write what they like I guess. Tends to be their jam to drum up stories of this ilk before every major tournament in non western places

    No doubt you believe that Amnesty International also lie for the sake of sensationalism.

    Probably your "skite about the place" is more revealing than the experience human rights activists who dedicate their lives to exposing these abuses.

    Someone uploaded the Noel Gallagher segment of the broadcast, watch while you can as I can't see that staying up for long.

    Yea RTE are not the best with that. They never have mics that pick up the crowd like other festival coverage which can really take away from watching it on TV

    And they let rain get all over the camera lenses! I'm glad I'm always at the festival so I never have to watch their sh!te coverage.

    what the actual f**k...

    You're a f**king dj, you press buttons for a living. Jesus Christ - how conceited is this?

    Settle down, Jenny Green is the next David Guetta.

    I'm no fan of Guetta but he composes his own tunes. Jenny Greene is no better than a DJ spinning the tracks down the local nightclub.

    No it didn't go over my head - I got it, but was making my own statement that Jenny Greene is literally a disc jockey not a professional one making music.
