    Typical RTE, more time sh1t talking with Al Porter and that other presenter with the beehive haircut than actually playing music.

    Had to mute it until music comes on. I would honestly prefer the rain than listening to that presenter guy. Ive been in a LOT worse weather conditions than this at gigs and concerts, its not that bad. EP, 2009, the Sunday was a washout

    30 minutes in (by the end of adbreak), nothing but a bloody Gavin James downer in the studio.

    Live at Electric Picnic....

    I can never watch this or Glastonbury Live without wishing I was in a muddy field, off my head and falling around the place clutching on to a bag of cans as if my life depended on it.

    That said, I'll feel happy on Monday when I wake up without a severe case of trench foot.

    Not watching.

    Is Gavin James the guy with red hair who plays a guitar?

    What was his analysis of an electric music festival? Did he have much to say about New Order and the Chemical Brothers? Did he clarify whether he prefers Pantha du Prince or Todd Terje?

    And who is Al Porter?

    It isn't an electric music festival. Its a music festival called Electric Picnic. Its well over a decade old so thought people would have copped that by now!

    It's the first time in years I did not go, and I am delighted! I left at about 8pm on Sunday last year. I was cold, dirty and my neck and back were killing me from sleeping on the ground. I was too grumpy to drink on the Sunday. I just thought "I am too old for this ****" and legged it. I considered abandoning my tent too but it cost a fortune so we just fecked it in the wheelbarrow and stumbled to the car.

    Christ could it be more down beat. A huge Saturday night crowd and you want to get everyone dancing. How about a speech about the 2 girls going to England for an abortion followed by the most depressing song ever written.

    Glastonbury was the same. Main stage Saturday night and a crowd ready to go mad. How about Adele doing that ballad about her ex?

    For fcuk sake is this what festivals have come to?

    The most whiny of the current crop of boring, whingy singer song writers right now (worse than ed sheeran and that takes some going).

    I love Bell x1 when I hear them on the radio, but they sound really flat live. It's like there's something missing? Can't quite put my finger on it.

    It's like there's some parts of the track missing. Are their studio albums very overproduced, and they struggle to replicate them live?

    its live music on an open stage in the middle of a field v studio recorded music. Of course its different!

    Not a massive fan but thought they sounded good there.
