Rise Festival - Saturday 8th July - Finsbury Park

[Dubversion]

Looking forward to Sway..

we saw him on Tyneside a while back and he was awful

 

[STFC]

I do.

No, there isn't likely to be any free drinks.

Although last year they gave away vouchers allowing you two Magners for the price of one, many of which were carelessly discarded by non-cider drinkers.

 

[maximilian ping]

I'm looking forward to Swaying

 

[Hollis]

I am looking forward to Graeme Coxen, then I'll most probably fuck off. Will "The Wailers" be any good?

 

[hektik]

me and mrs hektik will probably be along. the good thing with free festies is that you can decide on the day, if it is sunny: go, if it is rainy: stay at home.

 

[Hollis]

It is looking like it will be sunny weather.

 

[Sir Belchalot]

At least the best bands aren't playing first at this one. Loads of people missed Run DMC a few years ago as they played at 1 p.m.

Now that was a good day out. Gutted I'm not around this w'end..

Stop being so fucking optimistic!

It's unbecoming.

Possibly discerningly discarded by cider drinkers!!!!

 

[Hollis]

So Will you going or are you off to a Hippy festival?

I would like to get there early afteroonn - say 12ish, to enjoy the festival amap.

piss off. magners is way better than the cider you normally get, bitchpiss filth that it is. i'm not saying magners is the billy bollocks of cider, but it's a refreshing change.

Magners/Bulmers is shite.. don't believe the marketing hype.

 

[spanglechick]

i missed the last finsbury park thing cos of my knackered foot - if i don't get better from my lurgy in time for this one, monkeygrinder's is going to chuck me for sure.

 

[STFC]

Looking forward to Sway.. there should be more Grime on the line-up though.

He's not appearing now due to illness, according to the site.

 

[bluestreak]

Magners/Bulmers is shite.. don't believe the marketing hype.

i don't believe the marketing hype, i believe my taste buds. and my taste buds say, light and refreshing with only the teensiest bit of chemical tang.

 

[STFC]

Magners/Bulmers is shite.. don't believe the marketing hype.

Nothing to do with marketing hype, I enjoy drinking it when it's hot. I find it easier to drink in large quantities than Strongbow for instance. Even better when it's two for the price of one.

 

[Hollis]

i don't believe the marketing hype, i believe my taste buds. and my taste buds say, light and refreshing with only the teensiest bit of chemical tang.

Then your taste buds have been fooled.. it is the very worst sort of chemical shite masquerading as cider.

mmmm...

chemicals!!!!

"A moody Oirish voiceover drools: "We could tell you it was all about craft, tradition and heritage - but we know it's all about the taste." Which is a lie. It's not about the taste. It's about pretending that you're James Joyce or Shane MacGowan and that you're getting pissed to reconcile your intense masculinity with your deeply romantic soul. Rather than the fact that you're a weak, pathetic booze-hound who despises every detail of your hellish, pub-bound existence."

There you are bluestreak - that's you that is.

 

[Hollis]

"Magners Irish Cider is launching its first national ad campaign, running across TV, posters, radio and press formats. The ads run until the end of July, using the strapline "put everything on ice". The TV ad portrays lazy summer evenings in an apple orchard and by a waterside pub, with the Donovan song "Sunshine Superman" setting the scene. Magners brands director Stephen Kent said: "The campaign captures the essence of the brand and merges fresh images of the orchard with the refreshment of Magners." The Irish cider was rolled out nationally in February."

Jesus Christ!!

hollis, there was once a time when my budget for a night out drinking was the following:

£1.99 for a three litre bottle of ice lightning.

that is all.


believe me old boy, after you've drunk that filth for years magners is sweet nectar.

Well after growing up on white lightening it would do wouldn't it.

 

[bluestreak]

sorry hollis. but i assure you of this, if there's any real cider there i'll be drinking that instead.

 

[rich!]

random local point: no victoria line from Highbury to Seven Sisters, so those coming up from Brixton and other places south would be advised to change to the Piccadilly Line at, say, Kings Cross.

(I thought: how *clever* of London Underground: close half the tube lines going to and from a big festival!)

 

[Hollis]

rise festival - - its gonna be better than Glastonbury!!!

Check out the poetry tent ...young performance poets, rappers and emcees across the boroughs of London aged between 12 and 18 years old take part in the fifth Rise youth slam.

Safe!!
