    I was at the Roadhouse Doors last year and none of you showed up, some of you were still travelling at the time but then I got to meet scruff monkey at Chvrches. :)

    I'll be there this year to the right of the mixing desk wearing a Hawaiian shirt and towing a bag of cans. :-)

    We live in hope for the free flow staying in Salty Dog.

    If not, I'll be like a reverse El chapo smuggling cans in

    Did any of you talk to me at SD last year about Joe Strummer? I was weating a black Strummerville hoody.

    Just remembered now after reading bodhrandudes post :-)

    Oi. I met Mucker at the Roadhouse doors last year, advertised myself well in advance in a bright orange Pavement tshirt. You can only do so much. We'll give it another bash this time round.

    I seem to be spending most of my day refreshing the Electric Picnic website, hoping for another announcement like Freetown. Not being very productive, and its still only Tuesday of the week before EP!

    I see Bilie eilish is down for the 3 nights on her website. I am coming home for the All Ireland on Sunday so I'm hoping she's the Fri or sat as my wife is mad to see her! I'll be in the bad books if she misses her

    She's performing in Milan on the Saturday and Barcelona on the Monday.

    Safest bet would be EP on the Friday - but maybe hold off telling the other half in case Billie springs a surprise!!

    see this massive thread on the EP banter facebook page about some lad after scamming loads of people out of money, seems to be sh1tting it now that people have started threatening to call the police and contacting his workplace, some place called Raglan Capital on Fitzwilliam Place:

    I still don’t understand how people get fooled by this. Only meet people face to face and only pay cash in hand and your chances of being scammed are so much lower. It’s not complicated.

    If the fraud crowd track his IP address he'll be caught for sure.

    I initially gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought it was a misunderstanding, but the clown used his real name and details?!! How did he think he'd get away with it??

    His ma will knock his bollix in when the Garda arrive at the door.

    Hey all,

    I'm going to EP this year on a performer ticket instead of a regular one. Does anyone know if that brings any perks with it at all? :)

    You can tell impressionable young people that youre the fifth member of various bands and let them fawn over you

    Or just rock up to the office on his business cards :pac:

    Clearly not the brightest young lad - given the line of work he appears to be in, a fraud conviction (or even allegation TBH) could cause him serious professional problems - and deservedly so.

    I was there. And will be again. Should recognise you this time.

    And, without wanting to suggest he do otherwise, he also appeared to be refunding people once they realised it wasn't legit.

    I mean, what is anyone getting out of that whole situation if there's no tickets and anyone who tries to get a refund is successful?! :eek:

    Any Boardsies who are performing want to out themselves? We've surely got a few. You're amongst friends. We'd be a supportive bunch.
