Just been for a run on the seafront and the place is awash with indie types in super skinny jeans. How the f*** do these guys get into these garments?
Saw at the Hope on Thursday , really enjoyed.What fun, Friday was all about sheer tops and black bras:
Dillon (young Berliner knocking out Fever Ray/PlanningtoRock-esque sparse electronica in a sheer top and black bra)
'one kooky hot chick'- well I trust your wife is not reading this thread?

I would say it was the best Great Escape that there has been.
Only dissapointment is I did not see Django Django or King Charles.
Welp, didn't get in until 6 am.
Corn Exchange was fun last night, very messy but fun.
I agree with this and I have been to all bar the first. It is growing a developing nicely and every year more venues are embracing the festival and holding their own events and hosting their own stages; there was even a launderette with a stage and a programme of artists. The buzz around the city was brilliant and it was very chilled...especially in The Warren garden.
And us the punters are understanding TGE, learning how a multi-venue festival operates, and managing our expectations a lot better as well. Not seen or heard a single moan about not getting into somewhere. I did a lot of research and planning this year and was rewarded handsomely.
Saw The Crooks, Howler, Hooded Fang, The Suicide of Western Culture, Alabama Shakes (what a voice! also saw Nick Cave and Warren Ellis outside) and Madeon yesterday. I really wish I had the energy to stay out past midnight yesterday as I know I missed some excellent stuff.
See you next year.
Just got back from a secret gig at The Marwood Cafe with Slow Club, Abi Wade, We were Evergreen, Big Kids and the magnificent King Charles!
Totally gutted to have missed this.
I am so doing TGE properly next year it really is a fantastic festival!
It really was a fantastic moment in a room no bigger than an average sized lounge. Had a good chat with King Charles and he turned out to be a real nice dude which helped. Sounds like Time of Eternity is going to be on his second album

Do it. It really is a great way to spend a few days. We are so lucky to have it on our door step.
