Obviously this picture was taken the morning after, but sticking with Saturday night for a moment... Good indie disco at the campsite from Manchester nights Pull Yourself Together and Underachievers Please Try Harder. I know both take their names from credible indie sources, but they reminded me of their predecessor night (in spirit) Get A Grip, which I went to at the Roadhouse a few times around the turn of the century – a bit of a theme of hectoring value judgements seems to run through Manchester's indie discos! I thought I was doing reasonably well to recognise maybe 3 songs in 4, from quite a broad selection – all those hours listening to John Peel and compilation tapes in by bedroom finally paid off... The night went on till 3pm, with a closing trio of Ace of Spades segued into There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, and finally What Do We Do Now by the Just Joans.
