I had said all I want to say on the matter. But I would say, this analogy in relation to my flask, is more like buying some cds then having a bit of a sing song in the campsite, later…making your own music while supporting the artists, too . Nice one. 👏👏👏 |

At last, we teabellies remembered to get a flask! We got a 1.2 Litre Thermos in the sale and it was about £34. It made seven large cups which we shared. With tea at £2 a cup from the stalls, we had the flask instead and saved ourselves up to £84 on three days’ tea…so it has already paid for itself. I will use it on long work journeys anyway, so it will be handy. We did support the stalls on Friday and Saturday, having a meal each those nights. But I begrudge paying two quid for some water, UHT milk and a teabag. As we are of a certain age and it costs a lot to get there, with petrol and accommodation along the way, I feel a balance was reasonable. We didn’t shun the stalls completely. We’ll have to agree to disagree…if people didn’t have personal choice to try and make attending more affordable, whilst still supporting the festival…particularly as there is an aging demographic…there’d be no attendees so it’s swings and roundabouts.

Ronnie Wood LondonO2 Forum Friday 21st August
When this concert was announced a few months ago I got the pre-sale link and thought it would be nice to see him in a small venue. The £200 price tag put me off so I gave it a miss. It seems like the price put a lot of other people off too as over the months the ticket price kept dropping. It came down to £100 which, is still a lot, but I decided to take the plunge. Glad I went as it was an excellent evening. Support was from Marcus Bonfanti whom delivered a short,punchy blues rock set. Quick search online and it turns out he was frontman for Ten Years After between 2014 & 2024. Ronnie and his Ammo band followed and we got 2 hours of songs from his whole career. Top class band with Andy Newmark on drums, Willie Weeks on bass, Andy Wallace on keyboards, Jerry Lee Schell on guitar and Chanel Haynes on vocals. Imelda May came on midway through the set and added her distinctive vocals. All in all a top night! What's not to like in this setlist? Setlist share setlist It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (but I Like It) (The Rolling Stones song) Play Video Am I Grooving You (Freddie Scott cover) Play Video Take It Easy Play Video Flying (Faces song) Play Video Hey Negrita (The Rolling Stones song) Play Video Seven Days (Bob Dylan cover) Play Video Remember (Walking in the Sand) Play Video You’re So Fine Play Video Wee Wee Hours (Chuck Berry cover) Play Video Show Me Play Video Mystifies Me Play Video River Deep, Mountain High (Ellie Greenwich cover) Play Video Country Honk (The Rolling Stones song) Play Video Chain of Fools (Aretha Franklin cover) Play Video Boogie Play Video Spoonful (Willie Dixon cover) Play Video Ooh La La (Faces song) Play Video Can't You Hear Me Knocking (The Rolling Stones song) Play Video I Can Feel the Fire Play Video Plynth (Water Down the Drain) (Jeff Beck Group song) Play Video Stay With Me / Gasoline Alley (intro) (Faces song) Play Video Encore: Breathe on Me Play Video Outlaws |
