Too soon to add stradbally to my yr.no app? Probably, but the farmer in me likes to keep an eye on the weather in the weeks leading up to it. Can be a good indication Of The ground conditions. Also your local farm Co op store is a great place to get wet gear. Can get a good wet pants and jacket for about 30 euro each. And also if people are going for wellies I recommend the cheap Dunlop ones, cheap and most importantly nice and light so will make all that treking from campsite to arena much easier.

Taking over the comedy tent on Friday night.

Never heard of this guy before. But sounds like a great way to finish Friday night. Though when word gets around that tiny tent will be uber-rammed.

he seems a bit similar to DJ Yoda in that he mixes videos along with songs, I'm sure there's more to it though.

D.Q · 14-08-2017 12:39PM

haha that looks unbelievable, will definitely try get to that.

Yeah, this is every bit as important as the weather on the actual weekend of EP. A dry week or two leading up to the festival makes the whole thing a lot more bearable.

I think it was 09 when the place was a swamp on the Friday, I was carrying all my gear in, shoe got stuck in the mud, foot came out, SQUELCH. Horrible start to the weekend.

So my top festival tip is; tie your laces tightly.

i got 8mins into this, then skipped through the rest, seems more like a cheesey sing-a-long wedding DJ than DJ Yoda...

Thanks for that, another one the highlighter won't be troubling.

Read some reviews which sounded quite fun, but that video is shocking! Pure annoying

Looks like it'd be a bit of craic for like 10 minutes but torture for the full duration.

well I thought I must be missing something, and at some point the knobhead on stage would stop jumping around and shouting over songs

tbf, I'm sure it'll go down well with the likes who will turn up for S Club and 5ive.

Its another option at least, the comedy isn't usually open on the Friday.

It looks like the silent disco, but unfortunately it's not silent.

I wonder why it's going in the Comedy Tent and not somewhere like the Cosby or Little Big Tent which are usually closed on Friday for the last few years.
fingers crossed it means they'll have them open again and a full Friday schedule but I'm not holding my breath on that one...

Rigor Mortis · 14-08-2017 01:19PM

Arrah its harmless fun. I would imagine it could get quite messy. I can visualise a lot of circles forming

Minimum 50 Olé chants.

kg703 · 14-08-2017 01:44PM

I think they made it sound a bit better than it it. Looked like a mixture of a wedding, then went to someones 21st and hit Coppers to round off the night.

D.Q · 14-08-2017 02:03PM

ah it looks like a bit of craic. Probably be slated but after a few beers I would definitely prefer that to the likes of Aphex Twin tbh

I sadly have to agree with you. It'll be after a lot of beers, vodka and whiskey though, not just a few beers.

It's basically the return of Guilty Pleasures. With the odd decent tune sneaking in.

Who needs Despacio when you've got this? Picnic P45 for Jimmy Murphy.

Let's recap.

The Gardai plucked your mate out as he's coming in, totally at random from 50,000 odd entrants, STRIP SEARCHED him with no probable cause and then lo and behold, he was carrying drugs.

I think we'll agree that's unlikely?

I dont think you're getting this, hes a guy with no priors, no links to any kind of suspect behaviour, wasn't any suggestive build up that would link him to the DS.
Yes OFF COURSE the DS will randomly pick people ha ha can't believe you're even questioning this!! But just like customs im sure theres a technique to it.
When they pick someone how naive would it be to think they won't do a full search. Is the below how you imagine

:D
DS"Have you got any drugs in your pocket"
Punter "No"
DS"Ok have a great day"

They're both playing the Saturday at EOTR too so it just leaves the Sunday

Aoife Dooley put up an hour ago she would have a "‪***SUPER EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT COMING IN ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR*** #MeNerves ‬

possibly making an appearance of sort sort since she's an up and coming Irish comedian?

There could be news yet!

New Valley Wolves are also pretty heavy. Caught them doing an afternoon slot at the B&S main stage a couple of years ago and very decent. Back there again this year.

The Pretenders will also rock out as per...

Checked out NVW earlier, they'll be on the list.
