Not going to this, would have liked to have seen Yourcodenameis:Milo thou.

Cybermyk · 16 May 2007 at 14:41

I'll most likely be going to that if I'm not working.

NokkonWud · 16 May 2007 at 15:06

Would have liked The Romance to have a stage. Nevermind.

I'll be going. Trying to swap a shift around at work though otherwise it will only be for the evening.

Is it true theres no outdoor drinking this year? If so I don't really see the point lol.

no, there's plenty of bars etc but you can't bring your own beer in, which in a way is a good thing, stops all the drunk charvas spoiling it

shameless bump for anyone who might be interested in this?

ive been told itl be the same as last year.

they fenced of the main tfm stage thing near the courts/bottle/art gallery and had people on the gates stopping you walking into that arena with bottles

they where giving plastic cups and stuff out to pour your drinks into before confiscating them so im assuming the only reason they did it was to stop people throwing cans and bottles.

never had any problems walking round the streets with drink

Cybermyk · 30 May 2007 at 19:56

I'm definately going to this now. Anyone want to meet up?

"andy" · 30 May 2007 at 21:02

hmm now that ive seen taking your own drink is definetly not allowed im counting on the weather

pure shame because the last few years this festival has just been a big excuse to drink on the streets listenig to music all day

My friends band, Massacre on Broadway, will be playing there on the Tees Music Alliance stage at 6pm so I may pop along as I haven't seen them for a while.

Cybermyk · 6 Jun 2007 at 19:15

Just a few pics from the day, done with a k750i

We Start Fires

OK crappy pic but they were good, Nine Lives For Skydives. Chatted to the bassist for a few minutes later on he was a sound bloke.

The Lurios, they had a bit of a stage invasion after some crowd surfing but it was all kept in hand.

Cybermyk · 6 Jun 2007 at 19:23

Massacre On Broadway

It got packed later on in the afternoon

The Twang, they really got the crowd going at the end of the day

wez130 · 6 Jun 2007 at 22:24

see those girls on shoulders next to the tree, i was in front of those for the twang.

other bands i liked were small white light in the empire and one at TMA at 4ish - can't emeber name but they are in my guide downstairs, was a good day over all

on another note, don't you think the twang were a bit big headed?, i know they'd just found out they'd reached no.8 in the charts but to come on stage, fag in mouth and ****** and blinding, i thought was a bit OTT considering there were kids there still too. Infact, it kinda put me off the band.

I do get what you mean but it was after 9 mate and that's their act. I had a daughter there too but what was said on the stage was nothing compared to the conversations going on around me all day tbh.

They did seem to like Middlesbrough a bit too much though

"andy" · 6 Jun 2007 at 23:22

whats not too like about middlesbrough

i ended up going down town early on since the weather was good , spent most my time catching up with mates i hadn't seen for a while in bars

did catch the dub pistols and the twang (cant remember much of there set ?) at the end though.

So that Twang pic should be renamed as the "Official OcUK Middlesbrough Music Live Festival almost a meet.jpg"

I think The Twang just did their EP songs and added a new one for their set.

I went to every stage at some point but stayed at the courtyard the longest.

Nah they were on the 10 feet tall stage. That was in the Town Hall courtyard I really meant the court area (the two stages near the courts). I was watching Beep Beep Yeah at the time. I did go back to the Town Hall Courtyard for Kubichek! and the Dykeenies. They were a bit dissapointing tbh.
