    Great line up here lads. If you haven't seen fat freddys drop live, they are worth the trip alone. Gilles Peterson, Dj yoda, mr scruff are well worth it too. Prob won't make it as bun is in the oven so might keep my festie needs to somewhere closer

    Any hints on the festival?

    It'll be our first time heading up. The line up is amazing! I've seen Fat Freddies and Xavier Rudd in Melbourne when I was over there. They both are brilliant acts! then to follow it up with Bastille. BOOM!

    I've heard rummors of terrrible winds... 'nearly blown off the cliff' someone put it...

    Any advice would help. =D

    well being right on the Atlantic with the wind rushing in it can get quite rough, last year was near hurricane if memory serves me correct.

    a look at trees and bushes along the roads and that in the area and you'll see them bent over away from the sea.

    So yes it will more than likely be windy (not gale force but ya know) but then again it could be dead that weekend (hope not) but as long as its not raining its grand

    Quick question - anyone know when the early bird/cheaper weekend camping tickets sell out and how much is the full price ticket? Had a quick look at the website but no joy

    there is no camping tickets left,

    normal 3 day pass is about 80 or 90

    There are meant to be "unofficial sites" for camping though

    hello

    Love the old Sea Sessions. This year will be the 5th in 6 years. Book into a hotel, bit long in the tooth for the old camping. Alot of bands playing I havent had the pleasure of seeing yet, but really looking forward to Therapy?, the Franks and Vann. Off home Sunday morning so unfortunately missing Le Galaxie. Super vibe, good size of a crowd, and the craic apres the festival in the town is good value

    keep 'er lit!

    cloudy with showers is the word with temps of just under 20. With wind though it may feel colder.

    although its Donegal so that can change very quickly.

    I'd imagine it will be fairly relaxed in fairness. I am going to presuem you can drink on the beach until instructed otherwise by people in authority:)

    Before I begin, I really enjoyed sat and sun...

    However, On Friday It was full of young drinkers who were completely ****ed up and plainly couldn't handle themselves, yes there were drunken older fans as bad there too but the sheer amount of under agers and young adults puking or falling over and being annoying at best was insane. People we snapping in the crowd and some fights broke out.

    The atmosphere was tense at times compared to other yrs... Bastille eventually ruined by crowd surfing fighting and moshing in front of the main stage. 2 dumbass scroats called to our accom on Fri nite after 4am asking if we had any yokes then tried to force their way in. Ill go again next yr but hope it is better policed.

    I'm not some old fart. I was pretty drunk too but there's drunk and theres stomach pumpingly retardedly wasted. I wouldnt be surprised if a lot of folks don't remember Fri night at all.

    Bottom line is its no longer as chilled as before and I pray it goes back to that next yr. Thank god out was a music AND surf festival

    Definitely a younger crowd profile on the Friday night which seemed to even out over the weekend. Loved the beats and the location, weather could have been better, that breeze made it seem a lot colder than it was. Wasn't impressed on the Sunday when I went in at 4.30 on my own to see Norman Jay and the tent was closed. Hung around for an hour and half with no one able to tell me anything so I decide to head back to the tent. Of course, once there I see a photo of him up on twitter playing in the beer tent. Communications should have been better, could have used twitter to let us know when things were being moved about.

    That said, I had a top weekend...
