Well that was a whirlwind weekend at the Oxegen and T in the Park festivals. Always crazy days doing gigs at home. Always so many people to meet up with. Was fun tho. Oxegen on Sat was like being in the trenches in The Battle of The Somme, rained really heavily all day but never dampened the spirits of the crowd. A massive crowd turned up to see the boys in action, making it a perfect 21st birthday for our guitarist Cookie. BTW Nick also turned 21 this week. Weather was a lot better at T and the crowd were the usual great Scot crowd> Same bill at both festivals saw about 70 bands in action with the likes of The Strokes, We are Scientists, Feeder, Kasabian, Milburn, Arctic Monkeys, Hard Fi, Kaiser Chiefs, Red Hot Chilli peppers, James Brown, Franz Ferdinand and The Who amongst the many rocking the masses.
Heres Roger Daltrey in action during "My Generation"
And A trademark Pete Townsend Windmill in full flow!
Heres the boys on stage at t in the park and i guess you've really made when you have you're own Scottish whiskey!
But my performance of the weekend goes to The Godfather of Soul- Mr James Brown.
So thats it for Arctic Monkeys for a couple of weeks, next up Australia. As for me i will speak to you soon no doubt as im currently in Heathrow airport waiting to fly to South Africa for a couple of shows with Kanye West.
See Ya!!!!
