I’ll beatbox over the back of it. Does anyone remember ‘Fallin’, the cover of ‘Free fallin’ by Teenage Fanclub and de La Soul. It was pretty cool.

as long as everyone is happy with an acoustic cover of ‘Freefallin’ and ‘Yer so bad’ you can count me in.

I`ll play , so long as you`re happy with my new concept stage show ” neil young on ice “.

If you cant do the ice a couple of skateboards , some gaffer tape, a longish guitar lead and a vivid imaginationwill suffice.

I would pay to see the wookie doing acoustic covers of tom petty songs never mind the rest of it.

In summary I think an ELM festival is an outstanding idea. I’ll help

We could just bill it as Television, REM doing Murmur, Paul Westerberg, Pictish Trail, phantom band etc and then, when people turn up on the night, have the wookie playing acoustic covers of Tom Petty songs. Then point out the bit on the ticket that says ‘the promoters reserve the right to alter the bill’.

Split it two ways and you do security?

Dusty, you drink too much.
ELM should put together its own “alternatve” alt festival.
All the good bands that you’d really like to see would go for a weekend at say, Sleazy’s, for appearance money.
No cunts allowed in at the door. A couple of “boutique” acts, a supporting cast of local/UK/breakthrough bands a la Great Escape Festival in Brighton without the NME trendy pish.
I’d pay to see that.
What about it, ELM?
Money where mouth is etc?
How much do you think Television would take for a show?

I wish I was a betting man……Blur headlining T In The Park. As I suspected.
