General Discussion

If you're like me, you'll probably be spending a bit of time around now checking out acts who are playing. Thought the following might be interesting to gather:

1) Your biggest "discovery" on the lineup?

2) Act you already knew about that you've been most keenly revisiting?

3) Pleasant surprise (somebody you weren't expecting to like, but have got into)? 

4) Which day you're most looking forward to?

5) Clash you're most worried about.

6) Which Stage do you expect to spend more time at than any other?

7) One "smaller" act (ie somebody on early or on the rising stage) you'd recommend to others.

I've got a few more to check out, but will post my answers when I've done that.

1. Alex Rex (Mr Neilson is well known to me, but the solo work wasn't)

2. Probably Tiny Ruins.  Had a hiatus of a few years.

3. Nobody.  I've tried hard with many of those 'vital' 6 Music hammered bands and I just don't care.  Live experience will be different - I'm told.

4. Saturday.  But also not, because...

5. That evening stretch of Tiny Ruins/Kokoko!/Big Thief/Richard Thompson/Aidan & RM/Stereolab is looking impossible to navigate without disappointment.

6. WG

7. Gwenifer Raymond.  I certainly will get down :)
