I ache all over and have at least two minor injuries :D ... Still worth it though, the buzzcocks were awesome and getting into the heart of the moshpit was great fun at the time. Always nice to get a little of the aggression out of your system ;).
The rest of the day was great too. The Ukulele orchestra did not disappoint (see yesterdays post). Captain Backfire were a fantastic new discovery bringing shed loads of funk to the festival, I'll definitely be looking out for them in the future. Aerosoul were unbelievably good for their age and I hope at least some of them carry on with playing music. The only disappointment were Chumbawamba, they've really changed direction in a big way and that's fair enough, but perhaps a name change is in order to save on the number of confused faces at their gigs? Their new more mellow acoustic sound still contains the same political drive, but you could just feel everyone there was waiting for tubthumping and it's ilk, which they not only refused to do but rubbed the crowds face in it by throwing one or two of the lyrics into their other songs.
All in all fantastic day and really great value, hope next year is as good! Oh and it's always amusing looking back at the photos and realising just how silly you looked :)
