Will cheeky Amy Winehouse actually be there? Two men I spoke to who work at Robin Hill were dubious.

Thanks sunday. A week late is better than nothing. As long as they show Will. :unsure:

Thanks sunday, at least we'll have all the gossip beforehand from those who are going. :D

The two men also said that the bandstand is in the middle of a field and you can see all round. People stand in a sort of fan shaped area at the font but there is not much actual stage front. Very muddy!

They've obviously not been involved at a Will gig before then, there's no such thing as a 'fan shaped area', :lol: mind you, this

was pretty much sold out before Will was announced wasn't it? :unsure:

I can't see an orderly fan shape being formed either. :lol:

What I meant was that it is fence off into a fan shaped area!

 

Anyway, I have got a booklet which came with the local paper. Nice bit about Will in it.

Weather has improved and the sun came out a little while ago! We saw a Will Young look alike in Newport but he was too short so don't think it was him!

How disappointing. :( Keep your eyes peeled Pearl you might just spot him.

 

Hope the sun continues to shine tomorrow, :)

Thanks Pearl. I was surprised he threw his t-shirt into the crowd - I bet he kicked himself after. Wonder if the recipient realised what they'd got. :lol: He lost his hat at the festivals too - bit of an expensive time for him :P

He must be getting carried away in the moment. :lol: Wonder what he parts company with at Bestival. :P

The Bandstand was closed so we don't know whether he will play at all. How sad is that?

Oh no Pearl, but surely if it's fully closed they'll have to make alternative arrangements. There must be other acts that were going to use the Bandstand.

Really hope Will gets to play somewhere. There are going to be a lot of disappointed people. :(

He can replace the bouffanted boozer, she'll probably be too drug addled to perform anyway.

OMG :o

Bestival blog: Please be upstanding for Admiral Will Young

 

Avast behind! Hoist the mainsail! Other such nautical double-entendres! Will cuts a fine figure of a man in his 30,000 Manics Under the Sea getup

I'd heard it was muddy but it was still a shock when I found out my stage was actually sinking! I mean, I'm dressed as an admiral but I didn't think that meant I was supposed to go down with the stage! I really don't think that would be the best look for me.

I did worry my show would be cancelled at one point. And it would have been a real shame to come all this way for the first time only to have to turn back and go home. Luckily, I found out at 1pm that they could move my slot to the BBC Introducing Stage. Luckily, we'd all kept in high spirits. We're resilient, the English, aren't we? As well as a few other things!

 

Having said that, I've made no preparations for this weather. I haven't even brought a mac! I just brought my costume for 30,000 Freaks Under the Sea. I bought it yesterday. I wanted to come as a matador but I couldn't find one so the nice lady in the shop suggested this one. It's great apart from the fact I can't do my bow.

 

As for today's show ... there's no plan, really. We're condensing it into 30 minutes now, rather than an hour, so we need to work out a new set list. I'm thinking of doing everything in double time, so we can still fit everything in (sings in high-speed dubbing voice: IthinkI'dbetterleaverightnow")! Could I do it as a speed garage set? Probably not. Although I think I might learn a few sea shanties to go with the weather!
