Garbage, Moloko, @ Rivermead centre,Reading 19-1-99

This was bloody cold. I met Rob here & was probably introduced to Claire & Mel tonight or was it in Doncaster? We also met “The man with the cheese” here. Rurik, had a huge chunk of cheese which he was nagging away at outside the venue. It’s funny what you remember! I think he was also named the “banana man”. (All very friendly though). I also recall they were searching for cameras etc upon entry. One of the girls had one & was wearing a hoody top. I suggested putting it in the hanging hood. It worked, only for they to stop her taking photos during the gig.

3 day event. Had a nice hotel only 10mins away from the festival.A great festival. Some fantastic acts. Page & Plant were brilliant. New Order were fantastic. Garbage were ok. Biggest disappointment was that Curve pulled out last minute. I’m sure that made someone less nervous about their performance 😉
