Le Galaxie have added a permanent female band member so I wonder if she'll take those parts rather than guest vocalists?

You should try a fat frog if you want a refreshing drink

I've spent weeks trying to tell the missus to buy walking boots but she's going with wellies. I'm going to have to listen to some amount of crying about blisters and sore feet.

I am walking boots fan too but in fairness to my Mrs she just picked up a pair of wellies that weigh about the same as a pair of running shoes.

Think the manufacturer is Demar.

Sitting on the North quays here at damp Dublin town dreaming of a hopefully Sunny Stradbally.
Any sign of our man in Carlow with the weather yet?!

they said a few months ago that MayKay of Fight Like Apes is now a full-time member of the band. Fight Likes Apes broke up a while back.

I downloaded Trainspotting 2 last night and enjoyed the film, but what got me even more excited was the soundtrack, I really enjoyed the three tracks by Young Fathers, so will make a special effort to see them. I think folk were raving about them a few year back when they played the Body & Soul village.

They were brilliant before massive attack this year

The Friday, Saturday and Sunday only refer to the main headline acts as far as I know.

The rain the last couple of days won't have done the site much good, it's been a wet enough August in general, a couple of weeks of relatively dry weather will help the cause greatly

Was thinking that yesterday, I'd assume the site build out has already begun or is gearing up this week.

It's been a dry summer overall though... the ground will be ok

It's far too early for weather forecasts at this point, confidence rating would be extremely low - the conditions are such at the minute that 24 forecasts are pretty low confidence at the minute too. It's very unsettled.

At the minute, at least, today and tomorrow are going to see a large amount of rainfall in the area, but it should be lighter the rest of this week, and relatively warm, so hopefully the site will maintain good conditions.

If you want that extremely low confidence forecast for the weekend right now, it's looking like:

Thursday - Light Rain
Friday - Heavy Rain
Saturday - Light Rain with dry spells
Sunday - Light Showers

As I said, low confidence!
