Happy to see Michael Head and The Nightingales added to the lineup, but not overly excited about additions. On the whole it feels like a fairly lean year to me though still plenty to see. Might be nice not to feel the need to dash around quite so much this year and have a more relaxing time. Sure there’ll still be plenty of clashes now we have day splits.

I'm seeing very few potential clashes, which is a silver lining. Agreeing the Mick Head and Nightingales additions are very nice ones. Think I'm going to be in the Walled Garden quite a bit.

not the most inspiring list of additions
but definitely delighted to see michael head in there
who i've been listening to for 20 years and somehow never managed to actually see
other than that, great to see liz lawrence
though it'll be the usual shag trying to get in before the first act on the thursday (which she is)
very pleased to see sam grassie - who is the closest we'll get, these days, to having bert jansch on the bill
plus he'll be playing bert's guitar - so almost!
but that's it for me
oh - maybe KOKOKO! - though it was so mobbed for them at EOTR last year, i got put off a bit
on the upside, i don't think i have a single clash
jon hopkins vs the mary chain is about it
and that will very much depend on how i'm feeling at the time / whether it's raining
the GM bills are getting increasingly less interesting, i think
but that's just personal taste, of course

Ah lads. You guys have been spoiled rotten. It's a Garden of Delights for me, literally clashes as far as the eye can see. you know, the likes of Blonde Redhead into Michael Head into Nadine Shah into John Francis Flynn into Big Special into Explosions in the Sky....while that lot's going on, I'm missing Borough Council, Loose Articles, Black Country New Road, movies, chats in tents...Mother of God! It's relentless! My newbie enthusiasm will swamp my quality control, sure but it's all good, right? I'm 54, loose in God's Country surrounded by music and beer and sound, like minded people for 4 days. What's not to like?

Stillill, I can't tell you how much your attitude makes me smile. May our cider-addled mazes cross at some point this GM - I get the feeling you'll be bringing good times! As a 7, 8?... time veteran (I know that's child's play for some) I retain a childish confidence in magical things going down. And it won't be the bands I'm most excited about today. Mannequin Pussy v Brown Horse was not a clash I'd anticipated fretting about at the start of the year, but that's a serious head-scratcher for me now. Oh, and yes: Michael Head's an absolute pearler of an addition.

It's all good lads, a bit of a whinge is good for the soul. I'd love to cross paths over the weekend. I'll be the chap with the perma grin.

The Ezra Collective / Nadine Shah / John Francis Flynn clash on Sunday night is a horror.

Hope they are as impressive on the bigger stage/audience.

Thanks for the Sam Grassie tip, mr ray. Not previously on my radar but now on my list. Only one EP on Spotify but will try to delve deeper.
Like you mr ray, I’m not massively overwhelmed by the line up but, also like you, that’s probably more down to me than GM. I’ll still find plenty to enjoy.
Previously unaware of A Savage, Orion’s Belte, Muireann Bradley - all on the list now.
All we need now is Toby Hay and his mates for Settlers though I think this is unlikely.
