Day 447, On The Move

This festival was to be in Rother Valley Country Park but due to foot and mouth it was moved to the Don Valley Grass Bowl.

The only band I can recall seeing on that day was one made up from members of both The Specials and The Selecter, Pauline Black was the main vocalist.  They aren't listed but they were definitely there, The Star provides an indication that my memory isn't completely mashed.

Apparently Ozric Tentacles played on the Sunday.

Here's their set list as some sort of proof:

Intro / O-i
Vita Voom
Pyramidion
Saucers
Oakum
Erpland
Sunscape
Sploosh!

Which sounds about right.  They did no tracks from the Swirly Termination or Curious Corn albums, which I think are quite neat, Oolite Groove if only for the title.

Ha ha, like I'm an expert on this and their psychedelic electronica*.

Here's the full event lineup copied from Festivals Incorporated**, although I suspect quite a bit of this changed - and there definitely weren't 3000 people there.


Another festival affected by Foot and Mouth and thus moved to a new location at Don Valley Grass Bowl, rather than Rother Valley Country Park. Camping has yet to be confirmed on this site.

The festival will last from 12 noon Saturday until 11.30pm Sunday, with five live stages, with a mix of rock and indie, hip-hop and reggae, Latin, House, techno, garage and more.

Saturday includes: Michael Dog, Sol Ray, The Pranksterz, Dave Atomizer, Lisa Pin Up, Manchild (Live), Black Umfolosi, Headmix, Sansaar, Nucleus Roots, The Cooper Temple Clause, Gay Dad, Regular Fries, Freestylers, Kosheen, J Majik
Sunday includes: Mark Sinclair, Big Ron Atomizer, Zen Terrorists (live), Leroy (Prodigy), Andy Farley, Banco de Gaia (live), Disoriental, E2K, R. Cajun, Zion Train, Mabulu, Kissmet, Ozric Tentcles, Stanton Warriers, Mark B & Blade

Other attractions include: circus acts and side shows in a childrens area; a fairground; Doncaster's Earth Centre will be displaying and demonstrating alternative and renewable energy sources, and other environmental themes; a selection of food stalls, craft stalls, trade stands, three beer marquees, continental cafe/bar.

Overnight camping facilities will hopefully be available for around 3,000 people.

Look, the ticket is mimicking an old pound note.
