We were Ripped , no happy , had the same sound in the qualifiers as we had in the final and went from beeing 2nd in the qualifier to 2nd last in the final !!!!! go figure

Well done Rubes great run for you guys, i listened to your performance and you guys played the best ive heard you this year ...

Playing apart i was very dissapointed with the new face of Cowal,
we were pushed up to the top of the hill away from the stadium.
felt more like a minor competition rather than a major.!!!!!
Oh on top of the no Barbecues, and charging band followers £12 yeah £12 to get in !!!!!!!!

by Robbie.Crow Sun 31 Aug - 20:41:15

aye, it was a bit pricey big grin

tbh tho.. a didnt think it was that bad, saying that.. it was my first cowal playing, so i have nothing to compare it too!

'n cheers, aye we played a blinder. Think youse were playin before us tho m8, so never got a chance to hear ye.

Shoulda came to the beertent m8 haha.. ma wallet was actually open!!

oh and btw.. the results were actualy up on the rspba website before they were announced again haha, we knew we were 6th before the prizes started!
