Rockness 2007

[Mee]

I've heard Daft Punk are playing, anyone else hear anything?

Fantastic if they are  :005: :005: :005:

[Heilandee]

any chance oh Runrig guesting?  :001:

[CaleyD]

Oh Gawd - let the "your taste in music sucks" arguments begin (again)  :015:

[Heilandee]

:015: :015: :015: :015:

[Mee]

That heap of bland sh1te are doing a big outdoor thing in Drum, I think Im just about far enough away.... :015:

[Alex MacLeod]

Rockness website has no info other than dates 9th and 10th June.

Runrig just isn't the same without Donnie :003:

[Mee]

Unlike someone we know, I don't rely on websites for my information Alex.....  :001:

[Hamish]

I heard that the line-up this year was System Of A Down, Tool, Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold and a resurected Jimi Hendrix (just to keep Mee happy)  :001: :016:

[Johnboy]

Will that DJ guy... I've forgotten his name now... he plays wee bits of other peoples records.....be back again? He's a feckin genius..... :022:

I'm about wettin' masel' wae exitement here.... That guy was feckin brill......  a failed bass player in some crappo band called the Housemartins that deservedly found fame & fortune through his immense talent and sheer musical ability......  :015: :015:

[Mee]

Its good to see Sneck has gigs to suit everyone this year - Elton for the oldies, Ironworks for the rockers and Rockness #2 for those who want to dance and have a good time.....

Oh aye and Runrig for those with absolutely no interest in music whatsoever  :015:

[Hamish]

...I have to agree with the Runrig comment...  :003:

[Johnboy]

Ditto the Runrig comment.....

I'm still not old enough to fully appreciate Elton John.... He did have one classic hit single back in the eighties, Nikita.... much of the instrumental backing on which was provided by Dave Pegg, and Dave Mattacks, of the wonderful Fairport Convention......

[tm4tj]

Jboy, saw Fairport Convention in Glasgow many moons ago.

Amusing little occurance during the performance, remember think weegie. They were **** bent on not performing old stuff as they were trying to promote a new album. After nearly a couple of hours of the fans chanting "gie us all around my hat", the band still appeared oblivious to the frenzied crowds needs. "We are now going to sing a song about a SHIP! exclaimed Sandy Denny, to which a wee wag retorted at the top of his voice just before the band struck up.............AWRIGHT HEN, GIE US ALL AROUND MY SHIP :015: priceless moment, worth the entrance money itself. :003:

[Johnboy]

That rings a bell.... I think I was at that gig.... Glasgow Appollo - circa 76/77...?  not all that long before Sandy Denny's tragic death....

[Guest Lauraloos]

Chemical Brothers as well as Daft Punk! Great stuff!  :021:

[Mee]

Latest rumour - The Chemical Brothers might be double booked and we're getting the Prodigy instead. Daft Punk are as definite as a very nearly definite thing  :001:

[Johnboy]

All these acts have one thing in common for me.....  :024: :023:

[Mee]

They're too young for you?

[DJS]

Any info on the Val Doonican rumour?

[Heilandee]

Any info on the Val Doonican rumour?

Superb if true,Cannae see a perfomer of his stature playing Sneck tho. Eh love Paddy Mcginty's goat

(that could be taken several ways eh?)

[Johnboy]

There's only one possible way you would take Paddy McGinty's goat, H/Dee..... 

I can picture it now.... :001: :001:
