I’ll keep this short - ATP was fucking ace. Butlin’s was a real surprise (in a good way) and the lineup was unreal. I’m up for going to the next one but I’ll be amazed if the bands playing are half as decent…

Highlights were definitely seeing Shellac play twice (three days if you count me seeing them on Thursday in London), Trans Am’s set which was extraodinary thanks to Phil Manley’s skills in the absence of any working keyboards, and the drinking binge that kicked Friday night off and then destroyed most of Saturday for some.

We also experienced by far and away the worst kebabs ever, got poisoned by Burger King (what do you expect at 2am in the morning), and Boothy made friends with some ducks. Speaking of the Booth, he also managed to fulfill his lifelong ambition of making out with a rock star.

Can’t wait for the next one.

  1. This rockstar you talk of, what was his name?

  2. It was Tim Harrington from Les Savy Fav. Fucking superb set, but at the end Boothy disappeared. I said to Chris “I bet Boothy has gone to get a kiss off the lead singer”. He reappeared about thirty minutes later with a massive smile on his face proclaiming to one and all that he’d been kissed by the bloke from LSF. True story.
