Moorfest ‘09
Posted by Adrian on August 10, 2009 – 1:03 pm
A mega Moorfest for the ELFM team and for the couple of thousand people priveleged enough to have attended. To anyone who didn’t make it (or for those of you who just want to re-live a bit of the two days) we have put all of our 7 hours of broadcasting from the Caravan of Love up online for you to listen again or download – just follow the links:
- The Build-up show: Thoughts from Jack Simpson of Soundpeople and Dave Cook from Gaia as well as a chat with Mark taking time off from building his Shed! With previous live tracks from the ELFM Musicathon featuring Rosie Doonan, Milk White White Teeth, Mickey P Kerr amongst others… and of course the first of Ruby’s Festival Toilet Reports
- Day 1 – 6pm show: Round up of the first afternoon of the Festival. Tracks from all the live stages and the first live performances in the kitchenette featuring Serious Sam Barrett and Milk White White Teeth
- Day 2 – midday show: Catching up on all the remaining sets from opening night – and welcoming Gary Steward and Ellen with a few Escapades into the kitchenette
- Day 2 – 6pm show (part 1): First half of the show featured live tracks from the stages with sessions in the kitchenette from Silverlode, Jon Gomm and Rob Galloway (and if you haven’t heard the Gomm-Galloway kitchenette kollaboration yet – check out the video podcast below…)
- Day 2 – 6pm show (part 2): And in the second hour of Saturday’s 6pm show look out for more from the stages plus poetry, photography, graffitti and the first double bass in the kitchenette brought by the Maybelles
- Final night extras: Just so that you don’t miss out on the great sets from the final evening – Ed stayed up late to put together our final show from the Moor Music Festival ‘09.
Once more from all of us at ELFM – all hail the Fest of the Moor ‘09.
Big thanks to all who came down and visited the Caravan of Love and especially those who graced us with a performance in the kitchenette of love. Thank you to those who took time out to speak with our roving reporters (even if we got your names wrong!) and to the various sound engineers on the different stages for helping us to get such stunning live coverage. Thanks to everyone who allowed us to record a track from their set (if we didn’t manage to find you to ask your permission – we really hope you don’t mind!) – we haven’t gone through and linked urls to each artist – we feel that google can do the work easily enough – but please leave a comment if you want to let people know of particular things you are up to…
Major respect and thanks as always to Lucy, John and all at Moorfest. Rest well!
And finally thank you to the sun for shining and for the posh toilets with the running water.
We’re off on a break ourselves but our music coverage will be back for The Cuckoo Fest at the Adelphi 28-30th August (once Mrs Tate has returned from her honeymoon and got her arse in gear!)
Enjoy…
