OK, time to pass out… Remember text BLAG to 60777 for a last chance to enter the raffle. Is going to be an awesome day. I feel like a zombie!
We are bummed to announced The Pipettes have pulled out of the festival. So a big sorry for everyone who was looking forward to seeing the girls play, we just got a random email from their manager saying ‘due to circumstances beyond our control, The Pipettes have to cancel’. Blah. So that does suck, but hey, its just one band and its still gonna be a kick ass day and the weather forecast is sun, which is a miracle! Although behind the scenes, I can tell you its f*cking stressful!! Eeeeeks. What did we get our selves in for..
A few people have also been asking when the winners will be announced, this will be Saturday lunch time.
Things have been really hectic behind the scenes here, Donal has done an AWESOME job pestering managers, labels, comedians and musicians and has pulled together a great line up for Sunday. Not bad considering we have absolute peanuts to work with, so big thanks to everyone behind this festival… Wait till you see the hell he has been through to make it happen.
Here is the updated flyer… Have a butchers and send a text! Raoooaawwoooh.
Remember, if you want to come along, text the word ‘BLAG‘ to 60777 (texts cost £1.50 each) and there are 50 (+1) elusive tickets up for grabs. The tickets are ‘+1′, so if you win, you get to bring your best mate/bird/boyfriend/mum along.
Howard Mark’s will be in attendance for a spot of DJ’ing..
Check our interview with him where we initially ran the idea by him, seems like decades ago now. I still think we could sell celeb boogers for good cash on Ebay though! Sienna Miller‘s booger must be worth at least 31 quid on Ebay no? Mounted on a piece of card and framed…
Here is the creepy invite we issued to Noel Fielding too, we even hand delivered it to him via my girlfriend at the Comicon trade show in San Diego. Never heard a word back from the bugger though… Ah well, we’re still going to have a kick ass day! And Lily Allen, Slayer, Jonathan Ross, Russell Brand, ACDC – its still not to late to give us a call
God, what horrible web site updaters we have been lately!
The truth is we have both been catching up with part time work to pay for rent and noodles, but also working heavily on big blag projects, but on more dull office based tasks. Donal has been on the phone all day every day for the past few weeks trying to book bands, its been a horrible introduction to the music industry thats for sure. But we’re cracking the whip and have re-scheduled the festival to Sept 27th, as Donal will explain here…
