Annie, Iâm not your Daddy.
See if I was in your blood, then you wouldnât be so ugly.
Love it
At Common People. Seems way busier this year. And that means the bars arenât coping and the queues to the loos are long. Ah festivals. Partner is in queue to the bar and Public Enemy are just about to go on. Wait for him or go?

Just back from Kasabian in Leicester. You could tell it was mainly football fans as the crowd was mental. Did feel like we had gate crashed a party a little, but very high spirited.
Very good show by the Kasabian boys, but thatâs it Leicester City, you have had far to much fun!
Watched Gaz Coombes, Public Enemy, Sean McGowan, Primal Scream and a little bit of Craig David before heading for a taxi. Not bad for ÂŁ25. Tomorrowâs line up a bit meh.
Hilarious!
FestivalsâŚwhy?
I stand to be corrected (not really) but yesterday I suffered people chatting throughout every set, ignoring the music, often with their backs to the stage, off their faces on overpriced beer - and some of them wearing fucking ridiculous little trilbies or straw hats.
They are not music fans!
If they were theyâd watch some of the fucking show - and who takes a frigging selfie-stick to a gig??
Next year Iâll launch PapFields.
Visitors will be able to get so drunk in a field that they can ignore the radio Iâll have playing in the corner. - ÂŁ75 each for advance booking, ÂŁ85 on the day unless you arrive drunk, then itâs ÂŁ500.
And the stupid hat stall will be there, you can dress like you work at a horse fayre or you can try to create some Olly Murs look.
The only people who have ever looked cool in stupid hats are members of the Specials, Harry Worth or Kid Creole.
Something for the ladies too - bring an old garden chair and get in the fucking way because youâre off your face on warm Asda Pimms at ÂŁ30 a jug and hanging out of your ill-fitting mumsy dress.
Then again it is the only time your dad-dancing husband has taken you out in six months so fuck it.
And he canât talk, look at his fucking hat!

Youâve got to love The Raleighboy and his contemporary references such as Harry Worth.
Also, my mate Halo rocks a trilby and a homburg - but heâs an old Jew so thatâs OK.
P.S. when to the PapFields tickets go on sale? Put me down for one in the circle.

Not sure what you expect, RB. Heaven 17 were shit the first time round. Drinking overpriced beer with overweight people while wallowing in nostalgiaâŚI feel slightly dead inside just contemplating it.
Get a little trilby, that will make you feel better.

Common People day 2. Completely missed Chas and Dave as too busy being comfortable on some chairs drinking an expensive cocktail. Watched Cuban Brothers then Science of Eight Limbs followed by Katy B (I needed some warmth from a crowd) and ended with Duran Duran who were excellent.
Check out Science of Eight Limbs. We quite enjoyed them.

I have heard from many different people that Duran Duran were really good. Thatâs my boys!
They were. I was up for taking the piss but fairâs fair - they can play a bit and the stage show was properly, un-ironically good.
Gits.

Well you nailed it at the top of your diatribe. Those are exactly the people that hardened festival-lovers canât stand. Unfortunately empirical evidence has shown that the more mainstream the festival, the higher the percentage of these that you get.
Cunts.

I like the idea of a festival. Letâs start small. Three stages across Daisy Dip. Decent location. Not far from me mums. Plenty of fences to jump over.
Can I run the Tweed Tent?

There were quite a few âyoung unsâ near me who at the beginning of Duran Duran were there to take the piss. Most stayed and appeared to have enjoyed it by the end. I was a huge fan as a kid so I am a bit biased but had wondered all these years later whether it would be too cheesey. Didnât think it was at all.

Says the man who takes pride in getting âan early nightâ.
Last night was the same at The Brook - Midge Ure doing quiet numbers with people at the back talking throughout.
Why pay good money to ignore an act??
At one point he said, âthis new song is a quiet number and Iâm very proud of it, so if the person next to you starts chatting or checking Facebook on their phones, just fucking hit them!â
