    Paddy Keenan & the Bothy Band - The Blackbird set, you have got to go and see this uilleann piper at B&S, one of the best to come out of Ireland.

    Nice! Have never saw Gary Numan, I missed EP 2006 the last time he played a festival in Ireland I think, should be interesting stuff.

    That was (for me anyway) one the highlights of EP that year. Huge loud industrial wall of sound. Very much my kind of thing. Stunning show. His most recent album might well be his best of his industrial renaissance. Great addition to B&S 2014.

    Also The Field.. really like his stuff and only have seen half a set live previously.

    Thing about B&S 2014 now is that there is so much good music in the lineup there are bound to be some mega clashes!

    ... AND this free flow policy on the drink is fantastic news ...

    Fair play to B&S this year ... they seem to be redeeming themselves :)

    Wouldn't it be perfect to get someone like Toots and the Maytals for Body & Soul, they could play the slot that the Congos played last year. They don't seem to have a touring schedule this year so far but I don't think they have played the Body&Soul festival before.

    What a pointless thread. Might have at least gotten a laugh out of it if he'd posted it in AH.

    Hi Guys, i can't do the Body and soul weekend this year (Grrrrrr) but i'm going to glastonbury the weekend after though so all is not lost! Greed has gotten the better of me and i'm looking into a sunday ticket if funds permit. Anyone got any ideas of the sunday line up?
    I had a quick look at tour dates and it looks like Darkside are playing friday night (playing Croatia Sunday), Mount Kimbie Saturday, Caribou Sunday, John Grant Saturday (Playing UK Sunday)

    Mount Kimbie, Jon Hopkins & John Grant all playing on Saturday??! Uh-Ohhh... ClashCity!!
    Looking forward to it, great wee festival and have been to 3/4 of them so far :-)

    2 Major gripes of last year.
    - The drinks policy. I was stopped by security on Sunday morning with a sealed bottle of Ballygowan. Showed the security guards and they didn't care, was made drink it there or dump. Feckin ridiculous policy. They claimed it wasn't their rule but the organizers wishes. I only came down on the Sat evening but most of mates were giving out at the amount of tents that were robbed on the Friday night. People's entire drinks supply gone! Drinks policy encourages thieves to fleece tents.

    - Main Stage. Needs improvement. Feels very cold than the previous years. Appreciate that it had to be moved to the adjoining field, but it needs to be lights, bars, etc... very dark at night-time I felt.

    Couldn't agree more. Layout has to be changed somehow to create more a sense of intimacy in that main stage area. Maybe fence off the stage area from the field where you enter the festival - last year it felt to me like the main stage was stranded in that big field. Not good for the vibe.

    Was much better the year before.

    Just saw that the tour dates on Four Tet's website have a tantalising "TBA" space on 20 June.

    What are the chances?

    yeah the year before you could just keep walking around in a circle and have easy access to everywhere. Last year you had to make the conscious effort to get to the main stage and it felt quite cut off from the rest of the festival.
