Just looking at busses online and it says there are dedicated festival buses leaving from Custom House Quay. The first at 13.00 on Friday. It says tickets can be bought at Custom House Quay. Can you purchase these in advance as I would imagine queuing to get on the busses and buying a ticket would be carnage ? Don’t see anything about buying tickets for the buses online before hand.

I didn't go with a vented port solution, so the way to do it, is to be sure that there is no air leak from the speaker enclosures. Air tight they must be .. then you get a nice round sound. The quality of the speakers is pretty important too. Those JBLs I have are mid range 2-way 5.25 inch. They are okay. My aim was to do it all under 100 quid, so I couldn't go nuts on speakers, but it works very well as it is. I use it around the house as well and in the garden when I am doing a bit of work outside. I have a spare battery in the camper but have never needed it on a weekend away.

That amp does not like it if the polarity is wrong (it will become an ex-amp). I plan to do another one over the summer ... This time using an actual car stereo with radio and bluetooth built in. If I get around to that I will take photos and post it on .. which forum would you suggest?

Her child is ill at the moment and probably will not bring her along, but leave with the grandparents. B&S say she cannot enter the site without a child ... wow! Does anyone understand why this rule has come in to play?

Haven't seen Marron or Ward but have heard good things. Have seen Farrelly though and he is good. 8.00-King Kong Company, Midnight Stage. Now that Dream Gathering is cancelled only chance to see them this summer, should impress. 8.45- Foil, Arms, and Hog, Body Holidays. One of the acts I'm really looking forward to, really good sketch troupe who have been making big waves recently. High recommendation. 10.00- Dan Deacon, Main Stage. First big act on the main stage. Will hopefully set the tone for the rest of the festival! 10.30- MC Xander, Chai Wallahs. Meant to be an excellent dj, might have to cut off a bit of Deacon for it. 12.00- Talabomen, Main Stage / Donal Dineen DJ Set, Wonderlust. Will probably be in the mood for a wander at this stage, would like to see Talabomen but Donal Dineen is a great DJ and am very excited to see him. After this, it's be full on frollicking until eventually collapsing back to the campsite...Saturday 12.45- Bec Hill, Comedy Stage. Saw her at Indiependence two years ago, very funny visual and musically based comedy. I could stay here until around 2.30 since she is followed up by Tara Flynn and Apres Match's Barry Murphy. 2.00- Vinyl Love, Tree Haus. Not a whole pile going on in the morning and this is on from 12 till 4 so would be a cool thing to call over to and sooth the hangover. 4.00- Funke and the Two Tone Baby, Chai Wallahs. Don't know much about them, but it's a cool name! 6.15-Alo Wala, Midnight Circus. One of my big, big highlights of the weekend. They are brilliant and I can't recommend them higher. Do yourself a favour and go! 7.30, MMOTHS, Midnight Circus. Midnight Circus is very strong on Saturday imo, haven't heard much of them but meant to be very good. 9.00, Kids in America, Body Holidays. I am really hoping this will involve a LOT of 80's tunes, possibly utilising the Vice City soundtrack! 11.00, Super Furry Animals, Main Stage. Should be a great atmosphere built up by this point and hopefully SFA can bring the evening to a big finale until... 1.00- Flight Facilities, Main Stage. I predict this is gonna be incrediballs and will be the pinnacle of the weekend's craic. The only shame is that it's clashing with Daithi and **** Robot, if I can I will try and get to all three. 2.00- Absolut Art Bar, Timmy Stewart. Lots of choice here, this looks the best option but could end up anywhere at this hour!SundayI'm giving myself a later start here because I anticipate not being in the land of the living for a good while 3.00-Soak, Main Stage. I suspect I'm not the only one picking this out as a highlight. Really talented singer songwriter from Derry. A must not miss. 4.00-Kevin McGahern, Comedy Stage. One of my comedy stage highlights, so funny and great at settling hecklers. 5.00- DJ Ease, Nightmares on Wax, Absolut Art Bar. If I don't get around to see NOW when they are on I'd like to call over to this. 6.30- Steve Bennett, Bulmers Lounge. Another can't miss for me, was one of the best comedians at Forbidden Fruit. 8.00- Blooms, Bulmers Lounge. Staying in the Bulmers Lounge, another small act I saw at Ffruit, really good and in an intimate venue. 9.30- James Holden, Midnight Circus. Want to see both him and NOW, so will probably wander between here and the main stage. 11.00- Leftfield, Main Stage. A BIG Finish to the weekend in store! 12.30- Latchikos, Bulmers Lounge. Again, the name intrigues me! So they're my picks after a very brief look at the schedule, could all change yet of course!

Sorry if it's obvious but I usually get festival tickets in ticketmaster so not sure if email ones have names on them or what not. Thanks!
