10 Highlights From End Of The Road Festival 2022 – Day 4
Here’s a selection of curios, amuse-bouches and things that have made us smile as we wander the End of The Road site…
** Best music nerd stage bantz? Ryley Walker, natch: “We’ve only been listening to late 80s ECM records – I should technically have a bald ponytail by now”
** Hearty co-sign for Bristol Beer Factory’s Satisfaction ale. Who says you can’t get no? And served by a Deadhead who survived Bickershaw 1972…
** Overheard from a nearby tent: “It’s terrible – we’re having to drink instant coffee!”
** A grey-bearded gent in a mirrorball helmet, kindly enhancing everyone’s disco experience in the Somerset Cider Bus tent (big tune: Soulwax’s “NY Excuse”)
** Best wig? It’s a close-run thing but surely taken by the guy in a mohawk made of green carpet
** Not just peacocks but… baby peacocks! And a parrot!
** A woman live-painting The Weather Station’s Tamara Lindeman during her Uncut Q&A. Please send us the finished picture…
** Lunchtime pop bingo for the under 10s. Surely they know “Come On Eileen”?
** Why are a crowd of people gathered in the woods chanting “Stick, stick, stick”? It’s the stick competition of course! Prizes for the longest, sturdiest… and stickiest
** Uncut’s very own Laura Barton and Michael Hann absolutely crushing it at Saturday night’s Silent Disco: “Sabotage“! “Back In Black“! “Cannonball“! Give these people a Fabric residency
** A bunch of people really are roaming the festival site with rock wigs and video cameras, trying to recreate Wayne’s World. Cassandra Jenkins wants in
** Not enough disco or UK garage on the bill for your liking? Just head to the Two Tribes barbecue area, the brilliantly incongruous festival within a festival
