Sweet, has anyone ever seen him before sounds like a bit of fun?

Never heard of this guy before. But sounds like a great way to finish Friday night. Though when word gets around that tiny tent will be uber-rammed.

Envious. That looks like a great wee fest. Ash & Echobelly would have been most welcome at EP.

It was fantastic. I went to it for the first time 3 years ago and had a great time, it has come on leaps and bounds since then and can see big improvements everywhere - highly recommended!

Also confirmed for me that a camping mat is definitely needed. My feckin back is killing me today...

Great to hear. I hope your EP is as good. I also like the way that Stendahl has a two-tier pricing structure that allows people without a high income to pay less. Got to go there sometime.

Too soon to add stradbally to my yr.no app? Probably, but the farmer in me likes to keep an eye on the weather in the weeks leading up to it. Can be a good indication Of The ground conditions. Also your local farm Co op store is a great place to get wet gear. Can get a good wet pants and jacket for about 30 euro each. And also if people are going for wellies I recommend the cheap Dunlop ones, cheap and most importantly nice and light so will make all that treking from campsite to arena much easier.

he seems a bit similar to DJ Yoda in that he mixes videos along with songs, I'm sure there's more to it though.

Yeah, this is every bit as important as the weather on the actual weekend of EP. A dry week or two leading up to the festival makes the whole thing a lot more bearable.

I think it was 09 when the place was a swamp on the Friday, I was carrying all my gear in, shoe got stuck in the mud, foot came out, SQUELCH. Horrible start to the weekend.

So my top festival tip is; tie your laces tightly.

i got 8mins into this, then skipped through the rest, seems more like a cheesey sing-a-long wedding DJ than DJ Yoda...

Read some reviews which sounded quite fun, but that video is shocking! Pure annoying

Looks like it'd be a bit of craic for like 10 minutes but torture for the full duration.

well I thought I must be missing something, and at some point the knobhead on stage would stop jumping around and shouting over songs

tbf, I'm sure it'll go down well with the likes who will turn up for S Club and 5ive.

Its another option at least, the comedy isn't usually open on the Friday.

It looks like the silent disco, but unfortunately it's not silent.

I wonder why it's going in the Comedy Tent and not somewhere like the Cosby or Little Big Tent which are usually closed on Friday for the last few years.
fingers crossed it means they'll have them open again and a full Friday schedule but I'm not holding my breath on that one...

Minimum 50 Olé chants.

I think they made it sound a bit better than it it. Looked like a mixture of a wedding, then went to someones 21st and hit Coppers to round off the night.

ah it looks like a bit of craic. Probably be slated but after a few beers I would definitely prefer that to the likes of Aphex Twin tbh

I sadly have to agree with you. It'll be after a lot of beers, vodka and whiskey though, not just a few beers.

It's basically the return of Guilty Pleasures. With the odd decent tune sneaking in. 

Who needs Despacio when you've got this? Picnic P45 for Jimmy Murphy.
