Friday: We’re in the crew area Green Room, Darren thinks that there aren’t enough young women here … but wait a minute. I still can’t remember common sayings. We complain about the band taking too long to soundcheck. We saw Sandi Thom earlier and constructively criticise her set, then we discuss how Amy Winehouse is sexy, but in what way? We loved The Cat Empire, they did a great set on the Avalon stage, and got the place really dancing. Then we saw Hot Chip at the John Peel stage, a long walk through deep mud, and the sound was really bad without many dynamics to the performance. We let you hear a little of the green room band.
