Queuefest 2005 - AKA Global Gathering
August 02, 2005

UnderworldNever have so many queued for so long - Only to have to queue again! Glad we only went for the one day. Thankfully Deep Dish and Sanchez saved the day...

Underworld were OK but I didn't think their hearts were in it. New stuff seemed unfinished and Karl mumbled stuff from a book. The Drum and Bass like track, which may or may not be called Vision [or something] was good but the other new stuff rambled aimlessly.

Darren Price sung some nice girly vocals but I don't think he was much help on the desk. Rick seemed to be hovering over him all the time. The sound wasn't great either and no encore! I suspect that may have been the BBC's or organisers fault though.

Not the best Underworld gig I've seen, and I've seen quite a few, but I liked the desk cam - Could have watched that all the way through. Just curious to know what the 2 screens [possibly raised lids] next to the Powerbook to the right of the desk were now.

Anyway... All that way, all that cash to see 4 acts - 2ManyDJ's were the others. I won't be going there again...

But thanks to Kerry and Rob for a great weekend - Charlie and The Chocolate Factory was a good idea. And it was interesting to hear Terry Hall's mum's record collection on Thursday night! Terry mate - Don't DJ - All you were lacking was a ropelight to spell out your name!

Been sent a link to some pictures from the Sand Sculpture thing in Brighton - I hope to go The week after next. Cheers Jonathon.
