the first area2 date just finished, and from my perspective it was wonderful.
i’m so happy.
i can’t believe that we’ve managed to have such amazing talent on our festival. i know, it sounds like i’m tooting my own horn, but it really is a cool festival.
ash were great.
blue man group were great.
busta rhymes was great.
all of the dj’s were phenomenal. yes, all of them. and i didn’t know that dieselboy was such a sex symbol…but he is! i saw some young women who had dieselboy pins.
and david bowie was beyond great. i can’t believe that i stood at the side of the stage watching david bowie perform at my festival.
oh my goodness. he was so good.
the new songs from ‘heathen’ sounded wonderful, especially the song about oogie and uncle floyd (i don’t remember the title.) and he played ‘life on mars’ and ‘heroes’ and ‘ashes to ashes’ and etc.and i was so thrilled.
cos i mean, come on, it’s david bowie. he is, in my opinion, the most inspirational musician of the last 30 years.
the song about oogie and uncle floyd has such a heartbreaking, elegiac quality to it.
ok, i’m a very happy little festival organizer. and forgive me for being immodest, but in my immodest opinion area2 is wonderful.
