Yeah, Tramlines was an amazing performance. All the images used during Miners Strike came from this book:

I saw those comments about "Jarvis lost the crowd early on" is bollocks from where I was near the front. I was surrounded by teenagers going mental which put a massive smile on my face.

I love Spititualized but, Shine A Light excepted, that was not a set for a casual festival audience.

 Spiritualized gave me a headache. It was just loud without enough shape to it, and it all blended together. Impressive I suppose.

I thought Spiritualized were really boring.  Wish I'd gone to Hot Chip and Fat White Family instead.

 It was a real shame about Spiritualized really. Maybe they would have been better in the tent cos getting an atmosphere going for them on the big stage was difficult. I know they're better than that. I would have loved to have seen Fat White Family but I didn't want to leave the front of the main stage.

Ban this sick stunt! (The story is actually Jarvis talking about the Leadmill's closure and the crowd's reaction):

Or could equally have been 'Nick he's from Rotherham', or 'Mark he's from Chesterfield'

Nick was soundly jeered but Mark was cheered, which he seemed to enjoy. A few of us down front joined in for the latter - he's taken enough stick! And he seemed fairly cheesed about it. Nick revels in this stuff though.

During Mark's wandering during Babies I jokily pretended I didn't know the lyrics, drawing a smile from Chesterfield's Finest. Other highlights include McKinney properly locking in during Sex City, complete with shoulder movement and everything. They are clearly having a whale of a time out there.

He never mentions where Candida was born.

Maybe Belfast born but Sheffield bred is just too wordy.

It's a pity that Candy has no interest in writing a memoir. In the recent 6 Music interview with RadMac, she said she spent some time growing-up in Surrey before moving to Sheff. So it seems her parents were quite nomadic. Can't remember if she's ever spoke about how Belfast fits in.

 That would be a must read. Shame she isn't interested in writing one.
