CARDIFEST September 1st 2012

We got into the van to head to west Wales. Adam was ready for the summer.

We had to stop after 20 minutes, nothing ever changes.

Greyham spent the money he had been given on some flying lessons.

 And Mike played his second favourite game, he didn't win.

 After a few more miles and a few more beers we arrived at sunny west wales somewhere near Cardigan.

Our old mate and sound engineer Doctor Cum was doing our sound, he had driven down himself with a big mixing desk he had wanted to try out for the first time since he bought it on Ebay.

 We were shown to our tent.

 Which we quickly destroyed!

 Greyham and Mike pretended to be farmers for a bit.

 And me and Maggot went to check out the festival.

 We found a dude with a meat train.

 Then we saw Mysti from a distance, he was heading at speed to the rave tent.

 Which he let rip in for several hours. We left him there to the sound of hardcore cheese.

Billy and I got a Burrito which was lush!

 Later Maggot and Mysti turned up back at the tent as a new techno out fit called the Burger Twins.

Later that night they changed the name to the Runny Bum Brothers and the next day they decided the Worm Egg Boys was more appropriate. Ruff!

 As the evening drew on and the night became cold some of the boys had a quiz in the tent.

 One by one we all found solace in the warmth of the bus and Steve the bus driver's heavy metal and 70 rock collection.

 We were meant to be rocking the main stage but Doctor Cum couldn't get his desk to work.

 Eventually after 30 minutes of Doctor Cum trying to work out how to turn the desk on we were ready to go on.

 It was a great gig once it finally got going. Two kids came on stage and did some dancing.

 Big G got a woman on his neck.

 Greyham climbed a pole and the crowd went nuts.

 After the gig some of the boys hugged and licked faces.

 We met some of the party goers and said our thank you's and goodbye's.

 Then it was straight into the van and straight to sleep for the long ride home.

Safe!

Osfest 3rd June 2012

We all met up for the trip to play Osfest for the third year running. 

2hats brought a box of cider so we knew it was going to be a good trip.

Mike Balls had had most of his teeth removed a week before and was sporting a plasterwhere they drained the puss out of his neck.

It was a long old way and we had to stop every 20 miles for people to have a piss break.

But we got back in the bus and had a good time!

We eventually arrived at the festival site, Maggot was very pleased to be there.

Greyham was thirsty after the long journey and had a few drinks.

We went for a walk around and found a tent where some girls were giving away drinks made by the dude who is trying to bring the taste of Jamaica to the super markets.

To be fair it pissed on Lilt.

Everyone was having a good time.

We met up with Razorlight and had a few drinks and talked about old times.

Maggot had a nice chat with Terry Bossons from 6 Towns radio.

He has got lovely hair.

We had a few snaps with the revelers and even a royal.

Then it was time to put some clothes on and get ready for the gig.

Greyham went for the Red Dwarf look.

Adam wanted to let people who he was as he had been called Maggot by a group of girls in the street recently.

Then we started our walk to the stage.

It was pissing it down so we took the van instead. We ended up waiting about 30 minutes behind the stage in the bus.

We finished off the box of cider and Greyham had a pint of pink wine.

This set us up for a good show!

It was a very wet day but the crowd were having a great time and so were we.

After the show we went back stage for the after show curry.

And 2hats enjoyed the free cocktails supplied by Levi Roots and his women.

Billy got proper stuck into the curry and went back for thirds.

Just before we left Mike Balls was kissed by a man.

What a great day it had been for him!

We had had an awesome day out and a skin full, it was time to get in a cold bus and try not to be sick on the long journey home.

We made it back and no one had been sick.

Thanks Osfest, you knows it!

Mountain Ash 20th April 2012

We met up at the local pub, Adam and Mike had been there since 2:30 and were all smiles.

We were on our way to Mountain Ash to play a DJ set. So we got in a Dragon taxi!

Mike decided he would rather go to a sixteen year old girl's birthday party so he stayed in the Port.

There was a case of beer in the taxi and Adam told us lurid stories about himself all the way to the Mountain.

We got there safe and sound!

We were greeted by Tony and Dave who had a suspicious looking package for us.

It turned out to be chip butties. Secretly this made us very happy.

Tony the Landlord had also laid on an impressive array of party food so Adam was well happy.

So we went downstairs to the pub and they were having a raffle and it was in full swing, a young boy had just won a box of Forrero Rocher and he was jubilant. 

The Raffle was well good and had loads of music related prizes.

We didn't win anything, even though we spent six quid on tickets.

After the raffle which raised over 700 quid for NNPCC, we got on the decks and played all that music and all that.

The crowd were having such a good time they started to undress.

Apparently this is a common occurrence in Mountain Ash on the weekends.

The party was in full swing.

So we decided to have a cash prize for the best dancer.

People were going nuts for it, someone even tried to breakdance. I have since found out he is fine and got out of hospital last night with only minor lacerations and second degree carpet burns.

The crowd were loving the booze too, this girl was very thirsty.

We ended the night on a high to Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love", which prompted one man to proclaim his undying love for another and propose. 

Apparently they had a shot gun wedding that weekend and are now on honeymoon in the popular honeymoon resort of Abersychan.

Then it was time to say good bye.

Dave got in the taxi and we dropped him off on the way home, where I had a long conversation with one of his wife's friends about how I had been disappointed by the film "Finding Eric", which her husband had apparently produced.

It was another great night in Mountain Ash!
