Ditto. But only just - about to go for a drink in the Faltering Fullback - be like being at the gig!

kreuzkav · May 2014

Me too, and I'm ten minutes up the road with windows closed. Still not as bad as the Sugar Lounge days. (having a wee laugh here).<div> </div>

I didn't think today's soundcheck was as loud as the SR one!

Does the person who wrote that realise there is more to area round Finsbury Park than just Stroud Green Road?

JoeV · May 2014

I thought the same thing. No mention of anything on Blackstock Road or Green Lanes

Anyone going to listen to them outside? From last year's experience I know it can be quite a nice sound. Although I suppose it's a bit tedious getting into the park.

ADGS · May 2014

I could hear them easily from across the covered reservoir. The sound was pretty muddy, and the tunes a bit hard to discern, but then it is the Arctic Monkeys so I imagine that was true in the park also.

So 45,000 ill-mannered tourists have had their two evenings of fun, and now we're left with a filthy, trampled, tyre-tracked mess for a park. What a shambles. Why not hold such events in venues designed for massive crowds? While any event in the park (e.g. circus, funfair, Kurdish new year thing) will always create noise/inconvenience/disruption for some local people, these smaller events don't cause anywhere near this level of destruction.

I notice that much of the park still smells faintly of urine. Ironic, as if nothing else I thought we could be confident that the council and the promoters were definitely taking the piss.

kreuzkav · June 2014

Why do such piss-poor lad bands get to play in Finsbury Park..Oasis, Stone Roses, Arctic Monkeys. It's like a revenge against the metropolitan elite. Next there'll be UKIP rallies. I hope not. Labour dominated council get your act together let's let's have Kate Bush or the Fleadh back in the park.

ADGS · June 2014

In fairness, the Wireless festival at least has a less witless and blokey line-up (though it's a scandal that Bruno Mars is listed higher than Outkast).

kreuzkav · June 2014

Yes hang on, that's true. A bit of sophistication will be reflected in the fans too.

Papa · June 2014

Kreuzkav, are you asking why can't the music in the park be more middle-class?

kreuzkav · June 2014

The fleadh isn't middle-class. I'm not sure about Kate Bush. You don't have to be middle-class to be sophisticated. I'm dead sophisticated. I prefer tennis over football. Croquet for the masses.

Papa · June 2014

I went to the Arctic Monkeys gig, which was great because I like them and am also going to Outkast and went to the Stone Roses.... But, while it is nice to be able to wander to these from your house, I don't think Finsbury Park should be hosting these. It's not big enough and it is destroying large bits of the park that people use. The state of it after the Arctic Monkeys gig is terrible - that's a major part of the park wrecked for the start of summer for local residents.

Howdy, Stranger!
